A Promised Land by Barack Obama
5.0
I might not agree with Obama on a lot of issues, decisions, and policies, but reading this book, you just have to respect the man. His honest account of his presidency from his point of view is very refreshing, and you can't deny his intentions seemed to always be good, even as he made decisions that might prove unhelpful or unpopular. Also, reading this book about how decisions were made and how considerate of the public good (at least from his point of view) he was while making those decisions, you can't ignore how his successor approaches the presidency and you can't help but compare and contrast. Any way you look at it, this man was a decent human who wanted to do what was in the public interest as he saw it and as advised by his qualified counselors, can't help but respect him.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
5.0
Interesting plot and fascinating world building, just as you'd expect from Gaiman.
In a world where all the Gods in human history came to America with the people that believed in them. Not only are they alive, roaming the country and socializing with humans, they're also trying to prove their relevance in a war with the new gods of TV, Media, and the Internet. All fighting over our attention, love, and devotion.

And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer by Fredrik Backman
5.0
A heartbreaking story of loss that gets right under your skin. Don't let its short length fool you into thinking you won't get invested in the characters or their journies.
