The Little Things
April 16, 2018

Well… my “What I Read” post for March is more than a little delayed. I’m blaming it on being out of the country for a week and trying to scramble a bit to catch up! In March I read 10 books, bringing my total for 2018 to 31 books! Here’s what I read in March:

Still Me (Moyes): This is the 3rd book in the “Me Before You” series. Still Me was enjoyable, and I feel like it did a great job of showting the complete journey that Louisa took. I really enjoyed this book and enjoyed the deep exploration that Louisa did on life and who she was meant to be. 4/5 stars

Wonder Woman: Warbinger (Bardugo): I really enjoyed this, especially in audiobook form. 4/5 stars

You’re Not That Great (Gale): You’re not that great… was not so great. I thought I would be interested in this book since Elan Gale has such an inside look at the Bachelor series. I found the book grating at times and it was a bit painful to get through. 2/5 stars

Beartown (Backman): I really enjoyed this book! Similar to how I felt about A Man Called Ove, there were some slow and boring parts, but it got increasingly good, to the point where I couldn’t put it down. 5/5 stars

The Keeper of Lost Things (Hogan): I started this book in November and then set it aside almost 40% of the way through for about 4 months. I think I would’ve liked it more if i hadn’t had a break in time. I enjoyed the premise that someone collects and cares for the important things that others’ lose, wondering what the story of their owner is. 3.5 stars

The Good House (Leary): I listened to this on audiobook in the span of a week, and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the inside look at alcoholism and how it can look different at different points in life/different situations. I loved the added mystery towards the end. 3.75 stars

The Little Paris Bookshop (George): I loved the premise of this book- a floating bookshop with an owner to suggest books for whatever the reader needs in their life. I love the premise of searching for a long lost love. In writing, however, I didn’t love it as much as I thought it was (although it wasn’t bad by any means). 3 stars.

This Will Be My Undoing: Living at the Intersection of Black, Female, and Feminist in (White) America (Jerkins): It’s my goal to read books by people who have a different experience than myself in the world (and a number of different experiences). I try to read quite a few books each year either about race or by people who aren’t white Caucasians. I appreciated many of the points that Jerkins makes throughout her book.

Because I’m Worth It- Gossip Girl #4 (von Ziegesar): I really enjoyed watching the Gossip Girl TV series, so when I need a quick read where I don’t have to think much, I pull out the next book in the Gossip Girl series. 3 stars

Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust (Ilibagiza): This book was unreal. The author survived the Rwandan genocide, and in this book she shares her story (along with the stories of her family members and a few others in her life). 5 stars

If you read anything from this month, read the following: Left to Tell and Beartown.
