Ev A is starting Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism
So good. Everyone should read this. Confirmation of who Mark Zuckerberg is and how Facebook basically controls politics around the world.

You don't have to like Shakespeare to enjoy this. Big fan, loved this book. Also enjoyed all the research the author did and explained at the very end.

Ev A is starting The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth #1)
This is a really well thought out fantasy series. Had to reread multiple parts to fully digest. There's 3 narratives at the beginning. Big fan.

Ev A is starting Never Let Me Go
Wow I'm an idiot and I hate having to do research to fully understand a book. Loved the dystopia complex and ethical dilemmas. There's also a lot of human dynamics that can be interpreted here. Could be interesting for a book club.

Ev A is starting Society of Lies
Secret societies and murder mysteries. There was some back and forth between timelines and narratations between 2 sisters so it's best to read all in one sitting so you don't lose track.

Ev A is starting Big Little Lies
Wish I had read this before watching the tv show because I ruined the wow factor at the end for myself. However, now I can confirm the TV show did indeed capture everything in this book. I also loved the female characters in this book.

Ev A is starting The Strange Case of Jane O.
This book had an interesting storyline to follow along but the ending felt insufficient. I felt like i was left handing.

Wasn't a fan of the writing style bc it was pretty fluffy with descriptions but the storyline was neat!

Ev A is starting The Fury
The "main" character whose perspective is telling the story was simply not my vibe.

Ev A is starting Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
Loved that the author touched on all minorities. My favorite section was learning about the impact parents can have on their adopted children especially Asian/black if they raised them with a colorblind mentality vs not.

Ev A is starting Pretty Girls
This was sick, not in a good way but in a "im concerned about the authors well being" way...and now maybe my wellbeing. I love wild books though.

Ev A is starting Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong - and What You Really Need to Know
The best pregnancy/birthing book I've read. I highly recommend to anyone trying to get pregnant and/or is pregnant. Author is an economist, type A personality that makes data driven decisions. She shares the numbers/stats and studies to allow readers to make their own decisions. She debunks a lot of old wives tales too.

Avg story. This is not like Freida's thriller suspense surprise ending stories. Felt bland in comparison to her other novels.

Ev A is starting The Last One at the Wedding
I liked Hidden Pictures better but this book was still a good read. Most mystery books lead up the to finale and drop all the eye opening facts at the end but not this one! Eye opening facts kept dropping throughout the entire last half of the book. It was very well paced. I liked the narrator.

Ev A is starting Girls with Razor Hearts (Girls with Sharp Sticks, #2)
Over simiplification/dramatized show of sexism and female injustice. Felt shallow when told through the experience of AI "dolls"

Ev A is starting 1984
I only read this because I was tired of not understanding the pop culture references. I felt like i was reading a text book. I don't want to have to study a book and write notes in order to understand it. I also hated every single character.

Ev A is starting Downward Facing Doug
Husband was raving about how good this was. He always likes to peer pressure me into reading books that are simply not up my alley. I'd give this 3 stars but Dom wants to give it 5 stars so I have concluded w 4 stars. I don't recommend.

Ev A is starting Three Sides of a Heart: Stories about Love Triangles
There were 3 short stories worth 5 stars in there. Rest of them were painfully boring and basic.
