My Thoughts

I was really worried I wouldn’t like ANNE OF GREEN GABLES because classics and I don’t always get along, but I needn’t have worried. I adored this coming-of-age story and wish I had read it much sooner. I found a kindred spirit in Anne. She reminded me of myself, other than her being ever the optimist. The only thing I take issue with is why did it take the whole book for Anne to forgive Gilbert?! So much lost time! I’m very curious about the sequels and will probably read them eventually.

My Thoughts

I really enjoyed reading THE MARRIAGE PACT even though it was very over-the-top. Each time I put it down, I wanted to pick it up again so I could find out what happened. I did feel the book was a little too long and the ending wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be.

My Thoughts

Trevor Noah is one of my favorite comedians. So it was a no brainer to read BORN A CRIME. What an amazing memoir! It was fascinating to read about the life of a mixed person’s life growing up during the Apartheid. Not only did I love learning more about Trevor Noah, I also loved learning more about South Africa, its people, the culture, and languages.

Update: When I read this a second time for book club, I listened to the audiobook. The audiobook is definitely the way to go. Trevor Noah narrates his own memoir. Listening to him tell the stories was so fun. I especially loved listening to him speak the different languages.
