𝘈𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦 by Tayari Jones
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A powerful meditation on marriage in America, with a cast of characters that are complexly human, and the use of shifting perspectives forces readers to never get too comfortable in picking a side.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A vitally important book that confirms public knowledge about Facebook’s questionable policies and adds new details on the sheer level of carelessness behind it.

𝘝𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘥 by Tim Curry
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A delightful read that has only reinforced my love for Curry as a performer; highly recommended for any and all fans of Curry, no matter what role brought you to him in the first place.

Read: March 2021
Review: A very well-researched and sweeping historical tale of turn of the century Shanghai, but the overwhelming amount of details distracted from my ability to invest in the interpersonal drama and relationships.

𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘺 by Stephen King
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a full novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 is still stronger and as a character Holly works better as a secondary-supporting or main character in a shorter narrative (like in 𝘐𝘧 𝘐𝘵 𝘉𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴), but I can’t say I wasn’t heavily invested throughout reading.

𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 by Geraldine Brooks
⭐️⭐️
While I loved the execution and concept of tracing the lived history of the Haggadah manuscript through the artifacts left behind, the continued focus on the character of Hanna left me feeling disconnected and frustrated.

Review: Engaging characters, told entirely through letters, that blend quirk with the weight of history; I wish I could remain with them on Guernsey indefinitely.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴 by Liz Moore
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book had me hooked from the very first pages; Moore was able to create a multi-layered mystery that never felt too unwieldy or illogical, while also balancing a large cast of characters that all felt real and distinct.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 by Catherine Banner
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just like Amedeo, once I arrived on the island of Castellamare I would have happily stayed put for years; Banner’s writing conveys a community that feels both dreamlike and solidly real, timely, and timeless.

𝘞𝘦𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 by Emilia Hart
⭐️⭐️⭐️
While I found Violet’s story to be more emotionally and narratively vivid, I appreciated the way the novel explored both the ways that women have suffered and gained agency and power to overcome these throughout the centuries.
