Winter is over, which means reading gets put on the back burner for fun things like being outside and running around with my pup. The good news is that I have some AMAZING books on my Spring To Read list, and I can't get through them fast enough.
Only two books this year have earned five star reviews from me, and I don't think it's a coincidence that both have been from African American authors, and both have been tackling hard issue of being black in a white America.
I love rereading books! I often find that when I revisit a book after a few years, I find new things to connect to and new details I missed out on the first go round. This is a list of ten books that I love rereadng and will definitely reread in the future!
In The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo, Lucy is torn between two different loves of her life: Gabe, the reckless photographer, and Darren, the steady man. Her struggle to decide where she should lay her path teaches her more about herself than she expected. This is The Light We Lost review.
“Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.” ― Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go
This year could not have gotten off to a better start! I read so many good, diverse books.... books that will stick with me for a long time. Fiction, nonfiction, YA, adult -- the gang's all here!
Two sisters in WWII Nazi-occupied France. One can't fathom stepping out of her comfort zone to change the way things are going. One can't stop pushing the boundaries and risking her life. What do the two have in common? A shared childhood, and a shared dream.
Witches and vampires and time travel, oh my! The All Souls Trilogy delivers on action, love, and historical smarts. Just make sure you have the second and third in the series with you when you finish the first!
I didn't have much time to read this summer, with school and working full time. But I did manage to pick up two books that really blew me away: The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Orphan Master's Son.
