Isabel Bowman is finished with Phosphorescence: On Awe, Wonder and Things That Sustain You When the World Goes Dark
Was hoping to learn more from this, but it seems like this book would be better for a city or suburban dweller...

Isabel Bowman is finished with The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy, #1)
A book that really draws you in! I am still new to fantasy so I think certain aspects were not for me...but I am intrigued and loved the writing in this one. Ready to try book 2!

What a great concept and well executed! An interesting approach to this sci-fi trope that I can get behind.

Isabel Bowman is finished with This Book Is a Knife: Radical Working-Class Strategies in the Age of Climate Change
What an AMAZING way to get the severity of climate change and capitalism for our future. Having a nonbinary perspective in this book realm has been needed!!!!

Isabel Bowman is finished with The Island
Someone needs to explain to me the hype. At first, the book shared the history of Spinolaga from a personal perspective. Once it moves off of the island though, it lost me. Just another love story until they bring it back to the island.

Isabel Bowman is finished with White Fire (Pendergast, #13)
WOW! I am always down for a Preston and Child and this one was well done. They are a great team and pulled together an interesting mystery with real and fictitious characters. And based around autopsy and a mining town in CO! My favorite kind of easy read.

Isabel Bowman is finished with On Trails: An Exploration
Such a great book! I thought it was simply about the history of the AT, but it explored how trails began and how different cultures have historically used trails. I LOVED learning about the ways of forming indigenous trails.

What a refreshing scifi drama! I love that this book has options to delve deeper into the science (: the social media aspect put this book into a close-to-reality scope!

Isabel Bowman is finished with Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell
I am so glad that this book was recommended to me! This turtle rescue works alongside the one I visited in undergrad but is close to my current town! While the story telling is a bit all over, the stories are quite unique and hopeful.

Isabel Bowman is on page 370 of 388 of For the Sake of Elena (Inspector Lynley, #5)
Overall a decent read. The mystery is sidelinned often with drama, but the redeeming factor is the engagement with the deaf community. I seriously would have stopped reading without that piece.

Isabel Bowman is finished with Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
Unsurprisingly, he is a great writer. I was oblivious to his personal life and reading this puts many things into perspective. I cannot imagine a struggle like this that was truly life long.

Isabel Bowman is finished with Anxious People
What an oddball book! Took me forever to read because each character had a completely different experience to sit with. I really enjoyed the humor from this author (especially all the Sweden-based nods).

Had so much potential to provide insight into this community but truly waited until the last few pages to make sense of it all. Not my kind of read.

A hard book to put down! The connections that Cassie makes are shocking up to this point. The premise of the book was a bit tricky to swallow but she has done an amazing job making this feel real.
