For someone who LOVES Gilmore Girls, this was such a fun read! While she does talk about Gilmore Girls (and the foreword is by ASP), there is SO, SO much more to Kelly Bishop than just Gilmore Girls. I loved hearing her background and the adoration she had for the arts.

Oh, I love everything about this book! I wish I could read it for the first time again. Bev was so determined and I loved how she broke the stereotypes of the time. Michael's character was so lovely. This is one of my favorite reads of 2024.

I liked this one. Lots of good information and helpful. I will say some of these things are difficult for those of us who have to use social media for work, however, there are lots of little nuggets of wisdom in here.

This book took me a while to finish. It was overall a decent book, but definitely slow in some parts. I am not the biggest fan of Amelia's and found her warm welcome back surprising. On the other hand, I loved James' character (even though he could be difficult). I felt like his character was more well rounded.

I am so thankful for Alisa and Tim's heart in this book. As a youth pastor, I have encountered students who are seeing deconstruction all over their social media feeds. They then come to me with questions. I am thankful for this resource personally and professionally. I highly recommend anything by Alisa and this one is no different.

An interesting look into a star's life. I grew up watching iCarly so it was interesting to see what was going on behind the scenes. Heartbreaking. I'm proud of Jennette for using her voice and telling her story.

This book was alright. I think there were a lot of good things in there for leaders to consider and I do feel like I learned from it. However, I wish all of the examples that were given weren't perfect. Show me how at first the principles presented failed at first, but after continuing to use them ended up working out. I don't think this is a leadership book that I would read again.

This books made me feel ALL the feels. Like every single one, phew! Such a great story. The romance, the grief, the kindness, and the wisdom!

Marcellus was the best part of this entire book. If the whole book could've been narrated by him, it would be 5 stars! Cameron was a rather annoying character. I understand his life didn't get the best start, but I feel like he was spoiled and a crybaby.

This was a nice and quick read. I highlighted and marked up so much, so don't think just because it is a quick read that you won't learn a lot! It was a great refresher for me as we enter into our fall ministry season. Thankful for leaders like Ben.

I follow meals she eats and love their journey. As someone who has PCOS and is trying to conceive, I am wanting all of the information. I am trying to get my hormones under control and I thought what a better time to get this book. The thing I love most from this book is the food lists for each phase of your cycle. I wish there were more recipes or a greater variety of recipes. As someone who doesn't like seafood, it would have been nice to maybe see some meals without seafood (especially in the ovulation phase).

I loved this book. I was in a reading slump and this book brought me out of it. Light and refreshing!

I read this book because I read Start with Why. I loved Start with Why. This book, however, fell flat. I don't think I could sum up his main point in one sentence. Sinek seemed all over the place. I powered through this book because it was one that my boss and I were reading. However, I feel bad for recommending it. I really skimmed through most of it because it felt like it had no connection from chapter to chapter.

Full of gut-wrenching stories and facts, but also witty Them Before Us is a must read. As someone who grew up in a stable house, I was reminded that I am lucky. My job is to fight for children, not for children to fill a hole in my life. I would recommend this to everyone and anyone. Thankful for the hard truths that were spoken in this book.

I almost wanted to put this one down, but I kept pushing through. It ended up being a good read with lots of twists and turns.

This book was wonderful. I couldn't put it down. At first I wasn't so sure of the alternating view points, but by the end I loved it.
