The Improbable Life of Ricky Bird by Diane Connell
1.0
I’m sorry, but this was really boring.
This follows Victoria (Ricky) Bird who is struggling with the nuisances of puberty, peer pressure, family drama, and… every boy/man being completely pervy over a 12 year old…
While Ricky was portrayed as a good storyteller, the book she was in wasn’t.
As much as i liked Ollie, I found the day in-day out of Ricky’s life to be really boring. This could have spanned several years to see how things got worse or better for her.
DNF’d at roughly 70%. Because nothing much really happened.

Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci
4.0
Such a pleasing experience. Expertly voiced by the man himself. The book was part biography, part cookbook. It made me extremely hungry while listening to it. My only issue is I’m coeliac and nothing beats a good wheat pasta!

Read it. Didn’t follow it.
Picked it up because it is an iconic piece of literature. It does have some good common sense advice in it, but on the whole I couldn’t really get into it

It was, on one hand, really boring. But on the other hand I could relate to him on a personal level and how his brain worked. 3.5 stars
I'm glad I read it, but I won't pick it up again
