I chose This: A book by a independent publishing company or small press. I read Where the Wild Ladies Are by Aoko Matsuda, translated by Polly Barton, and published by indie Soft Skull Press. I generally liked the short stories, characters, and in particular the feel / tone for this book. It was inspired by Japanese folktales that often had a supernatural ghost element to them. While a few of the stories left me wanting a bit, most were taut and conveyed unique ideas. 3 1/2 stars.

I chose "that" and read "hidden figures" which depicts 3 of the amazing black women human computers from NASA on the cover. it was both fascinating as I learned about their accomplishments, and infuriating as I heard their account of the discrimination they experienced.

Love Hidden Figures, both the book and the film. Although naturally, you get a lot more of the history from the book. Nice pick!
