Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

 Sequel to the Magpie Mysteries, Moonflower Murders is very much in the same vein as the original story. There are many of the same characters, in fact the primary characters are all the same, and it fits a murder mystery novel into a different murder mystery novel. Another 2 for the price of one story! But, despite no novelty of the story setup, Moonflower Murders does not disappoint! Again, written in a fun and compelling way, Moonflower Murders keeps you guessing in both stories all the way through. Susan, the relatable book editor turned Greek hotel proprietor bumbles through the mystery in a way that readers can relate to because she is just another enthusiast and not a seasoned detective. The Pund novel within, is a fun smaller period story and also keeps you guessing about whodunit and also how it relates to the bigger mystery. It might even be more cleverly written than Magpie Mysteries.

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. It's an exploration of hip-hop as cultural expression of the lived experiences, struggles, and creativity of black communities. 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.
