I really enjoyed this book about social media influencers, which I don’t follow and don’t know much about. It kept my interest and had a lot of twists and turns especially in the epilogues.
Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old
by Steven Petrow

book cover


Steven Petrow and I know each other since were were in 2nd grade. We lived in the same neighborhood and our fathers coincidentally went to college together. I have a signed copy of "Stupid Things..." but had not read it yet so I read it this month. The library also had it on display very recently. Steven is an LGBTQ+ author who also wrote "The Complete Guide to Gay and Lesbian Manners." I'm actually cited in the book. The book was different than I thought it would be. I expected it to be more comedic but it was more serious, or maybe I felt it was having known his parents. He writes about them a lot in the book. It's definitely worth the read.

book cover


I my never ride a train again and that is the only spoiler. Most definitely worth the read. I was so engrossed that I was almost late for work, and I work from home. With A Vengeance by Riley Saeger is Not a perfect 5 stars but really close. By the way, don't keep guessing, just keep reading.

book cover


This was not a required book in my high school class. I have committed to read one classic novel per month and this is the first one. I appreciated this book I think more as an adult than I would have reading as a teenager. A black man named Tom is accused of a terrible crime against a white woman. Scout’s father, Atticus, is appointed to defend Tom. Through Scout’s point of view, you get to see the small town in the south point of view about race relations and the true bad people who live in the neighborhood, including Boo. Always remember, it would be a sin to kill a mockingbird. I definitely recommend reading or rereading this novel.

Count My Lies

Unlikable characters, a ridiculous amount of Taylor Swift mentions, absolutely no plausibility and the most outrageous sense of ‘justice’- this book was not for me
