{5/5} If you've watched his stand up you'll find Trevor Noah's voice and personality come through loud and clear in his book. A must read for anyone looking to understand what living under apartheid was like. His stories will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, from funny anecdotes of him as a sassy child to sobering lessons on the ridiculous rules of apartheid and segregation.

{5/5} A ghost story like no other. This was my 3rd reread of Toni Morrison's "Beloved". This book reveals something new everytime. It is definitely not an easy read. It is incredibly uncomfortable in the amount of horrific details of the brutality of slave life. Yet, every time I read this book I am amazed at the quality of the symbolism, every thing, no matter how trivial, has another layer hiding beneath.

{3/5} The Unhoneymooners is perfect for a light fluffy read. It's a classic Rom-Com with lots of fun unrealistic plot twists (such as the classic "There Is Only One Bed" trope). The main characters, Olivia and Ethan, have great banter and chemistry. It's a little corny, but it's meant to be.

{5/5} Ever needed a reminder that we're just weird little aliens floating through space? Nathan W. Pyle's comics are delightful and the highlight of my mornings. The book has so many extras and a cute twist at the end that will leave you imagining pleasant nonsense 👽💙

{5/5} I can't believe I've waited so long to "read" Pride and Prejudice! I just finished listening to it through Chirp and it was amazing. It's witty and engaging and had me swooning by the end. Definitely a must read! ❤

Thank you so much @Butterflyamore ! I loved every bit of this surprise! I can't wait to dive into this book with a nice cup of tea and cookies 😊🍵📖
Thank you for hosting @TheReadingMermaid , it was so much fun! And just in time for my spring break!

Our school library only has Inkdeath, so you can imagine my alarm when one of my students was going to read it without reading Inkheart and Inkspell first 😲 I brought my own copies from home for her and we now have a waiting list going! Can't wait for this new generation of book lovers to fall in love with Cornelia Funke's Inkworld 😊

Reading Adam Ellis' comics in print rather than through a phone screen was a refreshing experience. If you know Adam through his social media you know his comics range from introspective topics like self-esteem to his obsession with coconut oil and crystals. His stuff may not be for everybody, but as a fellow Gudetama fan I find him weirdly relatable.

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell is a classic 90's delight. Now, I'm a 1991 baby, so my memory of the time period is vague... but I really feel that Rowell does a great job transporting you to a time of denim jackets and Zima. Beth and Jennifer are hilariously witty in their email banter and Lincoln is an adorable gentle giant of a male lead. This is a must read if you're in the mood for a fluffy office romance with a Y2K backdrop.

Finally had time to fix up my reading nook! Can't wait to settle in tonight for some light reading! 😊📖💕

While not exactly a "Christmas" book, reading Sandra Cisneros' Spanish version of The House on Mango Street during the Christmas season felt like coming home. Esperanza's childhood recollections blended well with my own memories and experiences, making it very relatable. Reading it in Spanish only enhanced the experience. Although, for the best results I recommend reading it with a cup of chocolate Abuelita or champurrado ☕

Greetings!
I basically devoured this book! It's my first Rainbow Rowell book and I was so impressed by her witty and engaging characters. I was a little unsure after the first chapter, but by the next I was absolutely hooked. I loved tagging along for Cather Avery's first year of college, watching her grow and find herself was both a hilarious and touching journey.
P.S. The collector's edition has fanart of the book inside! 😄
