How to Read a Book by Monica Wood

  The most captivating part of this book was the women’s book club in the prison. Fascinating, heartbreaking stories of how they ended up there. No judgement. The support and comraderie of the women was heartwarming and powerful. The story then turns to the equally engaging environment of the bookstore and its wonderful, quirky staff. Throughout the book, characters explore the possibity of forgiveness. The second half of the book seemed hurried and some plot elements were implausible, but overall a very enjoyable and thought provoking read.

The Women by Kristen Hannah

  This was a book club pick and I was interested because I have heard so many great things about Kristin Hannah’s writing. This book leaves a very strong impact on the reader. It is very captivating and speaks to a part of history that was new to me. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this since finishing it and am excited to read more Kristin Hannah books.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

  This book was very eye-opening and moving. The fact that this is just one man’s story makes you wonder how many other men have had such inspirational and mind boggling experiences. I think it is important to read and learn about history, and capturing it in this way adds a new layer to history that I haven’t experienced in a traditional classroom experience.

The Lucky Shopping Manual by Kim France and Andrea Linett

  This book was very interesting to read! Some of the beauty standards implied are less than flattering to curvier women - that being said, I still learned quite a bit! I never knew there was such a thing as Cigarette Pants.
