The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

 The Fourth Wing is a fantasy-romance novel in the vein of A Court of Thorns and Roses. The novel stars twenty-year-old Violet, daughter of a fierce general who is unwillingly conscripted into training as a dragon rider. Trained her whole life to become a scholar, Violet is thrown into a violent and often deadly training to become a dragon rider, the most revered and main fighters in a seemingly never ending war between her home country and the others that it borders. Violet, as the general's daughter, has a constant target on her back- everyone seems to want her dead, especially Xaden, the most beautiful and fearsome rider, and of course, her wingleader. Will Violet ever overcome her pacifist nature to become a dragon rider worth of her last name? Will Violet and Xaden turn from enemies to lovers? For fans of Sarah J. Maas, the Fourth Wing takes you on a wild ride and leaves you both wanting the next book and also a dragon.

The Women by Kristen Hannah

 This is an eye opening book. I knew so very little about Vietnam. Thank you to all the men and women that served! The heroism of the combat nurses that served was unbelievable. The America they came home to and the unwelcomeness they were treated with is a story that had to be told. This was a powerful read.

A key takeaway for me was the importance of balance and priorities when engaging in any passion that could lean toward fanaticism. Overall, this audiobook is well-written and inclusive for everyone — from casual Disney fans to die-hard “Disney Adults.”

Black Noise by Tricia Rose

  This book was written over 30 years ago. The author was able to do a deep-dive into hip-hop when it was and had "blown up" - 1990s.

Tricia Rose explores race and identity, social and economic inequality, resistance and empowerment, and commercialization and authenticity between hip-hop’s roots in community expression and mainstream culture. It's a LOT to say the least. I highly recommend if you're a hip-hop head.
