The Let Them Theory
by Mel Robbins

book cover


This book is a must read for anyone who feels like they may be struggling in any aspect of their life. It was very honest and real to life. It made me stop and think about numerous aspects of my life. I will be taking the basis of this book and attempting to apply it to my life more.
Fun Home

book cover


This is Alison Bechel’s memoir graphic novel, which was also made into a Broadway musical. I think there were some interesting choices in what words she chose. Some of them were very academic. I am not sure if that was intentional to reference her father’s sophisticated preferences, but it made it a more challenging read. I did find the story interesting and it was a unique way to tell it through words and art. The book is very revealing and heartfelt. It helps tell a story of how we can all struggle with finding who we are.
The Doorman

I had heard great things about this book and I had enjoyed one of his other books. With this one, I'm really torn. There are parts of this book that I seriously hated and I also found it fairly predictable. It's a New York story, so I liked seeing if I knew the locations he wrote about.

I had high hopes for this book in the beginning but the ending was dull and most of the characters were so annoying and selfish, it ended up ruining how much I loved the first 60%

An exciting , emotional novel which switches back and forth between 1980 and 1984. It tells the story of Dr. Joan Goodwin, an astronomy professor who is among the first women accepted into NASA's astronaut training program. We follow her through her intense training, as she forms deep friendships with her fellow trainees. Four years later, she is the voice of NASA at mission control in Houston as the unexpected happens involving her friends during a space shuttle mission.
The Woman In Suite 11

Great sequel to another great book, The Woman in Cabin 10 which I read when it first came out. I had to find a synopsis of the book to remember the plot. The Woman in Suite 11 picks up 10 years later. I'm a big fan of Ruth Ware. If you like mysteries/thrillers, you'll most likely love her books as well.
The Guncle Abroad

July 7,2025 completing the Color our World Rainbow Connection This book was so terrific... While dealing with emotional family issues, Rowley intertwines tenderness, warmth, humor and teenage raising brilliance! I just loved the connections between all of his characters and rode along with Patrick's ride through life. The descriptions of the scenery and adventures that Patrick, Maisie and Grant were on as they traveled through Europe were so real that I felt I was with them on their journey. The writer actually captures the Sound of Music tour in Austria perfectly and I found myself singing along with them. I also found myself truly laughing out loud and tearing up a lot... Great writing!!! Great book!!!
The Sun And The Boy

A book out of my typical Genre. An Allegory. Lessons of Life taught by the sun and the moon to a young boy, through storytelling. There is also an overall plot. Very short book. Interesting. Sort of like Aesop’s Fables. Well written, made me emotional at times. Felt that the author was in some way reflecting on the times we are living through. Glad I read it, not sure if it is for everybody.

To Kill A Mockingbird
by Harper Lee

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.
