Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist
4.0
I really liked this book. I felt like the author was reading my mail. It is real and offers heavy truth on running on empty in the push for perfect. However, I did deduct a star due to the 1st person format. It had chapters that felt more like a diary then the book I signed up for. Making it feel exclusive, and I just skimmed through. Overall, I enjoyed the story and know it will be one I will go back to and re-examine my own personal growth. A good light read to reevaluate ones motivation and most important things.
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
5.0
Wow Hank!!! This book is nothing I expected, but everything I needed. I’m blown away by how good this story is. It’s fast paced and deeply moving. I laughed, gasped, and even cried. It’s one of those books that sticks with you. Also, the audiobook makes the story even better! Highly unexpected highly recommended!!!
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
3.0
The storyline is excellent and exciting. It kept me interested throughout the whole story, and had wonderful plot twist. However, i felt there was to much sexual undertones that really didn’t advance the story, causing me to lower my rating.
