When The Night Comes Falling: A Requiem For The Idaho Student Murders by Howard Blum

This is a very interesting book written by an acclaimed former NYT journalist. This case received nationwide attention when 4 college students from the University of Idaho were viciously murdered in a seemingly random attack, and very few updates have been released to the public after a sole suspect was arrested a little over a month after the murders occurred in November 2022. Howard Blum's investigative research on this case is impressive, and there is a lot of information he obtained from speaking with people close to the victims, suspect, and law enforcement directly working on the case that was previously unknown to the public. For anyone who is a fan of true crime, or simply interested in this particular case, I highly recommend picking up this book. Blum's writing style and ability to bring this case down to an intimate & personable level will keep any reader enthralled.

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.

Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture by A.J. Wolfe

  fter listening to Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture by A.J. Wolfe of Disney Food Blog, I realized I’m not exactly a “Disney Adult.” I’m more of a Disney brand enthusiast — someone who cherishes the memories I’ve made there and appreciates the quality the company is known for. 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.
