The subject of this book was interesting and I liked reading about family, adoption, belonging and immigration. I thought it was a little long, would be great on audio!

I loved having the physical copy of this book. I ate it up in less than a week! I can‘t say too much or I‘ll give something away

This book has to be top 5 of the year for me! It was well researched, the changing perspectives really gave so much to the world building, the characters were realistic. I felt like the world was similar to idiocracy with the plot of hunger games. I recommend!!

February book club pick: a multilayered story that follows a complex character in his journey to the afterlife. I don‘t think I‘ve read anything quite like this story and I can tell why it won the booker prize!

Okurrrrr! I appreciated the acknowledgement of privilege and class throughout this exploration of a character‘s experience with sugaring; I want more though! And I loved the imagery, voice and characterization of the night out with the group of sugar babies; I wish there were more!

Wooooow! I need so much more of Emma Cline‘s writing and characters and worlds. I loved The Girls so much that I picked up this book without reading the synopsis. I had so many feelings while I read this book. For sure pick

Neil Gaiman is a genius. I always enjoy the worlds he builds. This book was so fun. I think books with ghosts in them are so interesting

This book! Such beauty! Books like these make me feel like a book snob. My book club read and discussed for this book and I loved sharing it with my friends 💕

The story was a fun concept and a nice change in perspective of the apocalypse. It eventually started feeling a little long winded but otherwise I enjoyed it!

Beautiful! These stories were so poetic, moving and easily digestible. I love that they were all set in Colorado too. It got me out of a slump of reading a few pages and switching books.

I‘m so glad I got a chance to read this. What a well researched and eloquent book to inform people about a highly publicized traumatic event. It gave me goosebumps

“If ever there was a story without a shadow, it would be this: that we as women exist in direct sunlight only.”

Wow wow wow! This book was so beautiful!!! This was the first book I saved to my TBR when I got this app and it just became available through my library app. What a lovely look at the role of women and their relationship with nature and the world 💕

I read this with my book club and it is filled with conversation starters and ideas for community building which we loved. I felt like it was less accessible to me, a person with no organizing experience and limited knowledge of movements in history. Still good though

I like reading books about ghosts! This story was full of action on every page with ghosts doing spooky stuff and sometimes confusing because of the fast pace.

I did read the whole thing but thought it was okay. Maybe it was too violent for me? 🤷🏽‍♀️

This story is poetic, meaningful, deep, heart wrenching, lovely. What an important perspective of receiving care during a dark time. All people should read this!

I liked to learn about Native American culture in this story! I love a bounty hunter moment. The plot was so different from what I usually read so I appreciate it for that too.

My last book of 2020! I liked this story. It was comforting as an end to the year. I hope to keep up with my reading log in 21 and be more intentional about reflecting on the books.

The hype is real!! I loved this story for the writing style, characterization, plot, ending and all of it pretty much. 💕

This book was a good introduction to the conflict in the Middle East. I‘m feeling a bit burnt out over sociopolitical topics but the story made the topic more digestible.

I like the world of crazy rich Asians, I think it‘s so fun! I think I liked the first book better though. And I‘ve read so many books that are similar to this one this year that I felt a little bored.

It was good! I just didn‘t like it hahaha I thought it was long and slow.

Omg! This book was a trip. It was recommended by a local indie bookseller and I‘m so thankful! I‘ve been stuck in a few slow books recently but I tore through this story.

Good story, but I did feel like some elements didn‘t connect in the end. I could have read 100 more pages to tie up some of the loose ends. Also, dissecting books in a book club is not good for trying to enjoy the act of reading hahaha

I hope when I think of the summer of 2020 I remember my lengthy affair with a Russian man instead of what‘s actually going on in my real life and the world. This was a wonderful story and I enjoyed the thoughtful writing and characterization. I set a reading goal to finish a chunky book and I think this satisfies that goal.

Good! This book was plot driven so it lacked some characterization in my opinion. It definitely made me think about life.

It took me far too long to finish this book! I have been so distracted lately by current events, studying for my board exam, moving, and finishing my doctorate. I‘ll probably reread sometime when I have more brain space.

It was Mr. Green, in the study, with the wrench! I really felt like I was playing clue throughout this book with all the characters and motives. Very nice!

I think I would have liked this book more if I had read it in high school. Also I think I started with the second book in a series? I don‘t know, it is from a little free library

I was transported by this book! The subject is relevant and although the resolution wasn‘t “happy,” it was real

This is way different from what I usually like to read but it was a welcome reprieve from current events. Now I‘m reading for darker subjects again 😈

That‘s crazy, man. Have you tried DMT?

I‘m simultaneously listening to the testaments and I‘ve noticed I read two similarly themed books at a time the past few months. I‘ll take light hearted, uplifting recs if anyone has a good one!

Yay! It was nice to dissociate from my life within this story.

Beautiful writing, slow, thoughtful, and a little rambley. I do love the PNW

I cried every chapter. So good and so sad.

Spooky! I haven‘t read many books about hauntings. Thumbs down for the ending though.

This book is art. The poetry, the format, each page. What an important story for everyone to hear.

A little predictable but overall intriguing.

This book is less like a textbook and more like the peer reviewed article you need to perfectly defend your paper. I love sleep and nutrition as recommendations for patients and my recommendations will be a lot clearer now!

Love! I try not to read too many memoirs these days because there‘s just so many but I love JVN and he has a beautiful story 😍

Poignant, good, real. I started this book when I lived in Idaho, alone, over the summer and I could not bear it. I recommend reading this with your pup within reach. A beautiful exploration into the human experience of a dog‘s life.

I didn‘t think I would finish this before the end of the year but it was everything I like. I can‘t say much without giving it away 😈 I got big time bell jar vibes.

The writing was so good in this book and while I‘m only mildly interested in mythology stories, I enjoyed learning about Circe.

Before I started reading this book, I was thinking that I missed reading stories set on school campuses. This book was amazing! I‘m excited to read more 😈

Such dense imagery, I loved living in this book for a while. I appreciated the accurate depictions of skeletal anatomy.

Good, spooky read!
This is my pup who growls at the family that lives upstairs from us 😂

I truly loved this trilogy. The concept was well considered and the world was built well. I liked that Mile High Stadium was a setting in this book since I‘m from the Denver area 😂

This is the kind of poetry I love. This book has been on my TBR list for years!

This book was so fun! I like Kevin Wilson‘s writing style and ideas. I liked that this story perfectly hit on the experience of a young twenty-something which I know about.

I thought the narrator was insufferable. Reading this book made me feel like I had a hangover. It was good!
