This book was emotional and raw but it’s the kind of book that is important to read. I didn’t know this author has other autobiographies so I might check them out as well! This book is a testament to how important it is to read autobiographies and learn people’s stories
A Tale of Two Princes by Eric Geron

I liked the idea of a Canadian monarchy, that was a lot of fun! Other things didn’t hit for me but it’s not like I was expecting my next favorite book.
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

This book was fascinating! I’ve been meaning to read it for the last two years and I’m glad I finally did! I went into it blind and was totally confused for the first 50 pages but I’m glad I stuck with it! I loved how everything unfolded and we just learned along with Piranesi. Cool world, cool characters. I loved the element of mystery even though that feels like the wrong word for it. I want to reread this but I want to forget everything before I reread it!
The Future Was Color by Patrick Nathan
3.5
I picked this up because it was a cover read for me. It was very slow and hard to read in my opinion. I think it was supposed to be about finding meaning in a chaotic world and finding your personal identity but I don’t like how it was told. I think this could have been a good story but the mark was missed.
Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly

Good story but boring read at times. Rare scenario where I like the movie better than the book
