I recently finished Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande, a book about medical failures and successes. Spoiler: You’d don’t have to be a surgeon or even in the healthcare industry to enjoy this well-written book.
BR: Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier is a wonderful suspense book with just enough splash of romance to make things interesting. (No, Sophie did not try to eat the cover.)
BR: The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs Audiobook
I recently listened to the audio book of The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying. What’s with me and all these dark books and tv shows?
The Handmaid’s Tale
Are you watching The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu?
BR: I Can’t Make This Up by Kevin Hart
Another book from my 2018 book list, I Can’t Make This Up by Kevin Hart, was a hilarious book full of Kevin’s life lessons.
BR: Sisters First by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush
Sisters First by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush, from my 2018 book list, is a super cute (and short) book that reminded me of how lucky I am to have an awesome sister. 🙂
BR: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F— by Mark Manson
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover, or in this case, the title; The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F—. Because if you can get past the title (and the occasional foul language throughout the book) I bet you’ll learn a thing or two.
BR: THE POWER by Naomi Alderman
THE POWER by Naomi Alderman was the winner of the 2017 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. It’s a thrilling story in an alternate reality where Beyonce’s famous “Run the World (Girls)” song is true.
BR: Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks
Model-turned-actress, yes, but actor-turned-novelist? Uncommon. 😛 What’s more is that Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks popped up on lots of books lists, so I added it to my 2018 book list.
BR: Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer
Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer was nothing at all what I expected, even after reading the description.
