The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

5.0

Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic by Esther Perel

5.0

I recommend to anyone with a significant other for a really refreshing take on the psychology of modern coupledom: we all need stability (safety) and change (eroticism). This book talks about how to balance both with a partner.

Becoming by Michelle Obama

5.0

HBD Michelle Obama! To celebrate, I finished your book today! I loved Becoming: a love letter to the southside and to the Black women who got Barack Obama into/through the presidency. Was a needed model of womanhood and authenticity around marriage for me right now.

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

5.0

For Girls/Femme Group with my youth group, we read We Should All Be Feminists. What a great intro to feminism for my 11-17 y.o. students! Best quote of the night, "I've never really heard feminism used as a negative stereotype, so I don't get why people wouldn't be one." 😭🥰

[Critique: it's pretty binary. I'd love to see a re-release with some slight alterations on the binary language used very sporadically throughout.]

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

5.0

Finally finished this small 800 page pamphlet today.

Bet it will be a big hit. 💃🏽🥳 #ForTheThrone

Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

5.0

If I ever write a book about my life, the compass for it will be my friendship with my mom. Let it be known that Trevor Noah did it first! Loved reading Born A Crime this week.

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

5.0

*Feels impressed having finished the 750 page Game of Thrones in January and then this, the 950 page Clash of Kings yesterday.*

Opens up book three today: 1150 pages. 😭 Ah, the things we do for love... (of GoT.)
