I'm a stressed out mom that works way too much and uses reading as my escape time. I've been really enjoying picking up books that I know absolutely nothing about other than the title and giving it a go. This book roulette has been helping me push my boundaries and read books I likely never would have picked up before.

quoted Anti-Racist Ally by Sophie Williams

Sophie Williams: Anti-Racist Ally (2021, HarperCollins Publishers) 5 stars

Questioning the ways by which we operate can feel threatening, or even like an attack, and our response to that can be to close ourselves off and become defensive. It's important to remember that this is a learning process, and part of that is facing difficult truths, feeling uncomfortable, and working through that. Fight the urge to pull away, and make space for discomfort.

reviewed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (Ready Player One, #1)

Ernest Cline: Ready Player One (Paperback, 2011, Crown Publishers) 4 stars

Ready Player One is a 2011 science fiction novel, and the debut novel of American …

A lot more fun than I expected.

4 stars

I wasn't too sure how this one was going to go because I normally REALLY don't care for pop culture references in books because it dates them like crazy. I'm not sure how well this will hold up in the future since a lot of these references are already lost to the past and that will get worse as time goes on.

But I found this to be a fun ride! I felt like it had a good blend of tension and adventure and emotional connections. It kept my attention through the whole story and didn't lose me along the way. I felt like the characters were written well and had their flaws and issues, but it didn't completely tank the story.

I already have a physical copy of the book and this is one that I'll be holding onto.
