Juliet

Extremely good. I cried a lot. Highly recommend.

Lots of interesting suggestions

Written in a really fun style. The history of how Hawaii became a state is really fascinating. Between the missionaries and whalers, and their descendants the capitalists, it is fascinating all around.

Good advice for keeping track of all of the things, long term and short, and getting things done.

A liked that Ibram X. Kendi emphasized that changing policies from racist to anti-racist allows for people to viscerally understand the benefits and in turn be more open-minded to changing their anti-racist beliefs.

I continue to love Brandon Sanderson's books.

Good for what it is. Solid YA fantasy. Took me away to another world. Very vivid and beautiful. The romance subplots where very meh and I could do without them.

I really enjoyed the majority of the essays. Some seemed to pick and choose pop culture references to make a point, which is fine but doesn't convince me of much. Some relied on pop culture references that I am not familiar with, so they weren't very relatable for me. I liked her writing style but it didn't blow me away in this collection.

Teared up while reading it in a coffeeshop. Really moving.

Fun but didn't super carry me away.

Thorough and infuriating.

I'm going to be recommending this to lots of friends.

Entertaining but too heavy handed

Compelling characters, beautifully written story, and fascinating science behind forests. Heartbreaking and very motivating.

Really epic story. I found myself audibly gasping, laughing, and cringing while reading this book. How much ice, wind, and nearly freezing water can these guys handle? Turns out... quite a bit.

Really engaging history of San Francisco in the late 60s, 70s, and some of the 80s. I skipped the two chapters about football because I just don't. Total page turner, I learned a ton.

Compelling, page-turner. Good characters. A little bit too on the nose at times.

I really do not enjoy Kundera's writing style. I couldn't finish reading it. Boredom to the max.
