I didnt know how I'd feel about finding out who the murderer was on the 12th page and then they surprised me...and then surprised me again up till the last few pages. It was enjoyable!

Read it in 12 days, which is pretty good for me! The writing style was so unique and even though I watched the show first, i could still thoroughly enjoy the book (and actually helped having some music to go with the lyrics)! Story of love and loss that I think most can relate to.

Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk: A Christian's Guide to Engaging Politics by Eugene Cho

IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN READ THIS BOOK! If you're not a Christian but maybe like the way of Jesus, read this book. For a non fiction, its a quick read and its such a beneficial book to read, especially during an election year in the current political climate. If you're a republican, this book will challenge you. If you're a democrat, this book will challenge you. If you're an independent, this book will challenge you. If you want to be challenged, if you want to grow, READ THIS BOOK.

What a twist! This book kept me guessing at every twist and turn. When i suspected something,  something else happened, when i thought i figured it out i couldn't have been more wrong! Quick read and short chapters too.

I think this book would have been more helpful if I read it sooner in my ARFID trainings but I think it is a helpful overview of ARFID research and treatment

Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez

challenging emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

Wow. This book made me SO sad as the God I worship is nothing like how many have portrayed him to be. A bit dry at times as it is a history book but SO interesting and helps me understand my parents and other evangelicals in their 50s+

Id sum up this book with a quote from the end of the book:

"When we try to overly control our own lives or overly control other people's lives, I think we end up harming people."
