Don’t really know how I feel
Revisado: 02-08-25
I don’t really know how I feel about the book. I didn’t particularly like any of the characters. They all got on my nerves in different ways. I did like the narrators, I thought they did a good job with all the different voices and accents. I started the sequel and about 10 minutes in had to refund the title because I could not take the narrators.

Loved
Revisado: 12-29-24
I really loved this story, it was so much better and more interesting than I expected. The two different narrators for Evelyn were annoying and didn’t make sense to me. The way Monique’s narrator sounded annoyed me as well. This is one book that I think I might have enjoyed more reading vs the audiobook. But the story is amazing and I truly enjoyed it.

Historia
Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her - but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North.

Jada Pinkett Smith was living what many would view as a fairy-tale of Hollywood success. But appearances can be deceiving, and as she felt more and more separated from her sense of self, emotional turmoil took hold. Sparing no detail, Worthy chronicles her life.

This was actually hard to finish. I almost gave up and just stopped. There was nothing I haven’t already heard. She has done so much press lately that I have heard all of her stories so there was nothing new.

Historia
Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.

Revisado: 10-17-23
This makes the fourth booked I’ve read and LOVED by Liane. I’m honestly confused by the negative reviews. This, like the others, was a free read. All the characters were interesting and fully developed. I also liked the narrator, she did a great job with the different accents. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading another Liane Moriarty book.

I really enjoyed this book. Olivia got on my nerves, but she got on my nerves in the first book, but it was still very well written. I LOVED the twist with her mom and dad. I really enjoyed all of the characters and all the subplots within the story. I can’t wait for the next one.

Loved the stores, hated the narrator
Revisado: 04-26-23
I loved this book, but it was difficult to get thought because of the narrator’s voice. Her voice annoyed me, but hearing her attempt a man with a British accent and a man with a New Orleans accent was almost too much for me.

Nope
Revisado: 06-29-22
This could have been a really interesting read. The plot line about the store incident had nothing to do with the “plot” of this book. I know the author is Black, but this book is written as if she has never encountered a single Black person in her life. The dialogue was so cringey. It’s like the author watched a bunch of early 2000s movies and Tyler Perry movies to figure out how Black people speak. Also, Alix started off as such an interesting character and quickly devolved into a housewife that was obsessed with her babysitter and had developed a fetish for Black women. It was just cringey.

Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and microaggressions, she’s thrilled when Harlem-born and bred Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They’ve only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust.

Nella was one of the most annoying, aggravating characters I’ve ever come across. She was pathetic, meek and indecisive. I enjoyed the book until the end. The ending felt rushed and unfinished.

Historia
Peck weaves these texts together, brilliantly imagining the book that Baldwin never wrote with selected published and unpublished passages, essays, letters, notes, and interviews that are every bit as incisive and pertinent now as they have ever been. Peck’s film uses them to jump through time, juxtaposing Baldwin’s private words with his public statements, in a blazing examination of the tragic history of race in America.

The narrator’s voice
Revisado: 03-01-21
The narrator’s voice is an absolute no for me. I personally cannot take this voice. At all. And it’s making it very difficult to continue listening.
