Say Everything: A Memoir by Ione Skye
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

Not feeling this. Ione is giving off an air of arrogance especially when she talks about wanting to lose her virginity to Keanu Reeves when she was 15. She seems almost proud? Walking away from this one.

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry

Emily Henry has quickly become a favorite of mine. I especially loved this one because of the mystery/historical fiction parts.

Have to put this down and step away for a bit.

The House of My Mother by Shari Franke

Wow. Shari Franke is incredibly brave. Everything she did to protect her siblings. Such a powerful memoir.

Inside Out by Demi Moore

Pure Innocent Fun: Essays by Ira Madison III

Love Ira - been listening to Keep It! For years and was so excited when I heard he had a book of essays coming out. If you’re a millennial who is also a media enthusiast like me, you will love this collection!

Gothic horror, meets Queer, meets Appalachian lore. Short but gets the point across!

Just wasn’t feeling into it anymore. Felt a bit dated too.
