alisiakae I read Ask Me About My Uterus for the invisible illness prompt! I have endo, so I love that there is finally a book that this frustrating disease, but I wish it had better editing, and felt a bit all over the place. 5y

shadowspeak17 @4thhouseontheleft I totally agree. I‘d never read anything about endo before, so I thought it was great that Norman wrote about it sharing her story. It really could have used some better editing though. It certainly wasn‘t a bad read as it is, but it could have been so much better. 5y

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! Congrats on completing all these prompts 🥳🥳🥳 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job!!👏🏻📚🎉😘 5y

Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption | Bryan Stevenson

pick

Stevenson‘s work has long inspired me. when I started law school I hoped to do this work but after one internship it was too emotionally intense. Book powerfully shows systemic injustice not just in the form of wrongful convictions but in overly long sentences. So much racism and inequality this country refuses to confront. Book was both hopeful and heartbreaking and recognizes the humanity of all. #booked2018 #diversenonfiction

Reviewsbylola I‘ve had this on my TBR for far too long. 5y

alisiakae I have recommended this book to so many people! 5y

Cinfhen Exactly what @Reviewsbylola said 😔I‘m gong to read it this year for sure!!!! 5y

Blaire @Reviewsbylola @cinfhen read it! I know @4thhouseontheleft would agree. ☺️ I already knew about most of the cases but reading the facts and understanding what goes on in our system and how hard he had to fight for just results is astounding. 5y

Born a Crime | Trevor Noah

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really wish my library had had the audiobook since I‘ve heard such great things about it, but this was still a great read in print. Noah is a great storyteller, and I feel like I learned a lot, not just about his life, but about apartheid and South Africa as well.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls | Elena Favilli, Francesca Cavallo

pick

I 💜 that there are books like this for my daughter! (Her LEGO set features 2 women in the book!)

Filled with daring women (not all of whom I like or agreed with, but they are/were still extraordinary and powerful in their own right...ahem Margaret Thatcher), I like the diversity, both of profession and culture. There are pirates, dancers, athletes, scientists, politicians, activists, and more!
