I received this advanced read copy, so unfortunately there is no afterword or acknowledgements in it. I feel like my copy ended rather abruptly and an afterword would have tied it up nicely.

Regardless, this was a very good memoir from Khizr Khan, the gold star parent who spoke at the Democratic National Convention. He speaks of his path to America and becoming a citizen. Mr. Khan ends with his speech at the DNC.

'Round Midnight | Laura McBride

I loved this book!! I won an advance reader's edition.

Centered around a casino in Las Vegas, this is a story of some very diverse characters whose lives are connected. Diverse racially, culturally, religiously and socio-economically. Such a good story.

This was a good, quick read. A story about a man with Alzheimer's and his daughter who moves home to help take care of him. I connected with a lot of it because I just had to move my mom out of her apartment because of a history of falling. Thankfully she does not have Alzheimer's, but the aging process has reversed our positions. Me the parent, her the child.

Super sick with bronchitis, couldn't sleep last night so I finished this at 4am. 🤒😷

beagle.mama So sorry you're sick. Why only a so-so for you with this book? I found it so powerful and well done. I feel it should be a must read for everyone. I'm interested in what others have to say. Feel better. Bronchitis is awful. 💜 7y
Heatherine @beagle.mama Thanks for the well wishes. ?Feeling somewhat better today. As for the so-so, I guess I've read a lot of slave narrative type books and this one just didn't do it for me. I agree everyone should read it. I definitely didn't "dislike" it, it just wasn't my favorite. 7y

The Midwife's Revolt | Jodi Daynard

So I recently started playing with Audible to see what my Prime membership gives me. Love the channels! I was going to read The Bees, but found the audiobook for The Midwife's Revolt in my list of books in Audible. So now I'm intrigued and thinking about reading AND LISTENING to that instead. Decisions, decisions!!! 🤓

This book had me in tears and I almost never cry reading books, but it was so reminiscent of putting my own dog down two years ago that I couldn't stop thinking about him while reading. 😭 Chose to see the movie today. (I know a lot of people are boycotting it.) There were some changes with characters and the story that I don't think were necessary and they seriously glossed over or removed all of the sad parts, so no crying at the movie.

I really can't say much without giving the ending away. This book definitely held my interest. The end definitely is WTF, but not like I expected.

There's a lot of reference to lucid dreaming in this book. I tend to read late in the evening and I ended up with some pretty messed up dreams one night.

As another reviewer suggested, you should absolutely go back and reread the first few chapters when you finish it.

This is probably the best book I've read in a while. I kept going back to the genealogy to see where I was in the family history. I don't usually reread books because there are so many other books I want to read, but I could start this over right now and be happy.

Leelee.reads I felt the same way! 7y
Lea Oh this is neat. I listened to the audio and missed this. 7y
Heatherine @Lea I had to keep going back to it after every chapter. Haha!! I can't imagine not having it. 😀 7y

FINALLY finished this. I almost quit several times. Not a good book to read at the end of the night if you're prone to falling asleep while reading. There's just so much going on and I may have missed some stuff in my dozing off. Not a bad book at all, but I had a hard time getting into it.
