The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See
3.0
I found this book to be pretty good, definitely predicable at the end (trying not to spoil with too many details) - but, for the length the book was, I would have preferred more of the latter part of the book and maybe beyond the actual ending to better connect and tie relationships together. There were a lot of unanswered questions. It also felt like she was setting herself up for a second book, in kind of a too obvious or ‘come on, kind of way.
As a tea lover/in the industry - I also would have liked this book to dive deeper into tea, but it was really all about the characters. With that all said, I’d probably still read the sequel if it came out.

The Redemption of Galen Pike by Carys Davies
5.0
This was a lovely collection of plot-twisting short stories. They were easily accessible with her approachable writing style, but deep rooted with lots of heavy topic and relatable, raw concepts. It was a great subway companion, with stories short enough to complete end to end in-between stations. I’d love to read more of her work!
California Calling: A Self-Interrogation by Natalie Singer
2.0
Way less into this book than I expected to be. A coming of age story, along with the idea of questioning a sense of home and identity... set in he state I just personally moved to? Sounds ideal. But, I was bored. It didn’t do much for me in any capacity. Gave it two stars instead of one, because I didn’t hate it, I just didn’t like it either.

The Moth Presents All These Wonders: True Stories about Facing the Unknown by Catherine Burns

Laughed, cried, got angry - went through a full range of emotions reading these incredible short stories. Just like I would at a live Moth show. It was beautiful and I wish it hadn’t ended. Thank you Moth community for existing.
