Small Country | Gael Faye

pan

This story is so meandering and detached that I couldnt connect with any of the characters and was bored out of my skull! The writing is very simple and almost reads like YA. Perhaps I picked it up at the wrong time...

Cinfhen So glad I skipped this!!! It was a #BOTM choice 6y

Reviewsbylola Not to mention his one leg looks like a big dick to me. I see it every time. Am I the only one?? 6y

Mdargusch Great cover though. 🙃 6y

Mdargusch I can see that @Reviewsbylola 6y

Buechersuechtling Thanks for your review. Although I didn‘t rate it “Pan” but “So-So” I‘m so glad that I‘m not alone with my mixed and definitely not-enthusiastic feelings towards this. 5y

Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-seven Women Untangle an Obsession | Elizabeth Benedict

A few days ago I greeted a visitor to one of my coworkers and helped her find her way to the right office. She was impeccably dressed, with a streak of bright purple peeking out from her perfectly cut and styled haircut. We bonded over our colors. 😀

This was an interesting #essay collection about ... hair. Hair in all its glory, trouble, and cultural implications. Arguments between mothers and daughters over hair. Going gray or not. And more!

Susanita Okay so I realized after the fact that this will also work for #diverseNF for #Booked2018 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 6y

Cinfhen Awesome hair color and book sounds like a fun read!! 6y

Redemption: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Last 31 Hours | Joseph Rosenbloom

pick

I‘m not sure how much reading I‘ll get done for #24in48, but I was able to finish my current book this AM. The story of MLK‘s last 31 hours of life, this was much wider in scope than I imagined. With a lot of of background on MLK‘s ideologies and causes dear to him, there‘s also a lot of info on the Poor People‘s campaign he was working on and how it led him to be in Memphis in the first place. This was my #diversenf pick for #booked2018.

emilyhaldi Sad 😕 6y

alisiakae This sounds like a great book. 😥 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I need to stack this one. Sounds like a good fit with books like the March Trilogy and

What Truth Sounds Like: Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin, and Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America

Cinfhen Congrats on completing the prompt 💚 6y

Mdargusch Sounds very sad. 😔 6y

Kalalalatja It was such a good book! 6y

alisiakae Great pick! I have this from #botm but will probably read something that has been on my #TBR for longer for this prompt! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage So glad you liked it!! 6y

Reviewsbylola I thought this was good but I didn‘t connect with it in the way I had hoped to. 6y

Cinfhen I agree @Reviewsbylola I found myself speed reading through certain paragraphs ~ I thought the beginning was stronger than the ending 6y

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry | Neil deGrasse Tyson

pick

I am terribly behind in reviews, so I‘m going to try and catch up. I‘ll start with my books for #13books13week that I‘ve read so far. Book 1! This was a great book even if I didn‘t comprehend 75% of the content. Neil deGrasse Tyson does a great job of trying to explain things in simple terms. He is also a great narrator (I listened to the audio).
