So difficult to hear, but so necessary. The honest history, horrible history of our country.

Raw (unfiltered, lots of F words and N words). But honest (it seemed) and funny. She seems like she's being genuine. I enjoyed it. Some of it made me uncomfortable, and some of it made me literally chuckle to myself.

Amazing suspense novel! I don't usually read books like this one, but I was sucked in, and loved it! I thought I “had it”, and that it was predictable. But not necessarily!

I know they only share with us what they want... but I love when artists tell their stories and let us get a glimpse of their world. I loved hearing about Alicia's.

What a great story, and so timely was my reading. Not the way you want things to end, but I did enjoy the ending.

I cannot recommend this book enough.
Our history and its stories are heartbreaking. I love the story that Mr. Coates built around the actual histories presented by Mr. Still.

On to book #4... once it's available. Very much in line with the TV Series.

Will need to refer to the atomic habits.com website for additional tips and information. But over, a really good book with great ideas. Different ways to think about changing your current habits and becoming who you would like to be.

Purchased the Kindle version of the book as well.

Frightening!!

Raw and somewhat poetic look into the live of Bruce Springsteen (and the E Street Band). He says at the end that he hasn't shared everything but before he says that, it's not how you feel when you've reached that part of the book. If you're a fan of him, or his music, I would highly recommend this read. And the audiobook is read by him... always a bonus when read by the author.

Reminiscent of Mary Poppins.

Somewhat of a spoiler, but not too much...
Someone who pops in to stay while someone needs help, and then poof when the trouble has passed.

Captivating but heartbreaking book. Somewhat predictable, but still a good story and well worth the read.
Fiction, but based on research from true events. An “honest” look into the dark beginnings of adoption

Loved this book! Love how real she gets. I liked her before... even more so now. Makes you want to be on the “in”... sit down, have a glass of wine, tell some stories and just chill.

Helped me pass the PMP for sure!

I loved Jewel, her music, and her poetry. I love her even more now.

Good book. Controversial. It was assigned to my 9th grader, so I read it too, to help her. Many things were discussed that I think might have been “above her”, as far as what she should be reading, and also, male vs. female perspective. Touched on some things that she's probably seen/heard on social media (masterbation, drinking, etc.). Some of the things touched on were what I would consider negative stereo-types. I'd like to do more research. Was this a true autobiography, or was it fiction? Also, is Sherman Alexie a Native American? It was read by him, if I'm not mistaken, so I believe it was autobiographical, and truly written by a Native American, but I would like to know for certain.

Captivating! Twists I wouldn't have guess. Just when I thought I guessed, I didn't! Can't say anything else without giving things away!

Wow! I've seen the series, but the book was still captivating!

People can change. Very eye-opening book. I was captivated by Shaka's story and found myself rooting for him in the end.

An excellent book that I think everyone should read. It opened my eyes to things and situations that I had vague knowledge of, but it wiped away the blur and made things crystal clear. I knew our history had terrible secrets, I just didn't know how terrible. And didn't know how that history affected the way that things are today. I was going to say “we've come a long way”, but truly, we haven't. There is so much work yet to be done! Again, it's a book that I think everyone should read.

Excellent book that helped me pass my PMP exam.

Helped me pass my PMP exam. I knew nothing of Agile prior to reading this book, and the exam contained several questions and situations where you needed to have a good understanding of Agile.

Brutal book! This was supposed to be read when I was in grade school. I'm not sure I could have handled the brutality and the violence against animals, even by other animals. How was this part of our reading when we were younger. I was drawn to read it because of the movie that came out recently (2019 or 2020) based on this book. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie. Not sure how that all plays out. I'll have to watch it on my own before having anyone else in the family see it (sensitive).

This is another one of those books that I'm going to have to listen to a couple of times for everything to sink in.

This is one of those books that needs to be read several times.
Everyone should read it.
