Practices for Embodied Living: Experiencing the Wisdom of Your Body by Hillary L. McBride PhD
3.5
*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
First I have to say that the formatting on this ARC did not work out properly so I didn't get the fully experience of this book as it was intended as the drawings came over the words and didn't look the same as I am sure it will in the final version.
All that aside this was a very practical book about leaning into yourself, learning more about your body and living your whole self. It would be best experienced when doing all of the activities as it is a book that you really need to *do* to get the full benefits of.

The Women by Kristin Hannah
5.0
*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
This book was incredible. Hannah always has such a way with characters and this is no different. I haven't ever known that much about the Vietnam War, but it was still enjoyable (in a depressing way).
Though I didn't always agree with Frankie's decisions this book did a good job talking about the complexities of war, PTSD, love, family, and hurt.

One in a Millennial: On Friendship, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In by Kate Kennedy
3.0
As a millennial woman I was excited to read this series of essays. I knew of Kate from hearing her on various podcasts, but I haven't listened to hers specifically.
I enjoyed this book, but I found it a bit disjointed. It certainly is for the millennial woman as many of the essays were so specifically written for a very small group, which can be both a good and a bad thing. The stories were personal, funny, and really hit the nail on the head of being a millennial woman and if that is you, it can be a great read as well.
