The Haunting on West 10th Street:
this story takes place in the present day & in 1952. which to me, is always fun to realize connection as the story goes.
maria & her partner frankie are given a cold case of a crime they had investigated three years before after it’s been linked to a similar crime that happened in 1952. maria soon realizes they aren’t dealing with anything they’ve dealt with before.
this is my first book by this author, im currently about 70% through & know i’ll be reading the next & looking for more by the same author.
💪🏽💐
The Courage It Takes To Bloom:
easily one of the best memoirs i have ever read, & incredibly timely.
it is always a pleasure to read an autobiography by someone who is an actual journalist & professional writer because the ability to distill a narrative while also portraying their authentic voice is unparalleled.
while there’s a great & amount of focus on raquels transition, it’s her life told through an honest reflection.
highly recommend to learn more about activism & allyship in our current time

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing:
april, the main character, suddenly becomes internationally-famous when a video she made with a friend goes viral
i picked up the book because i have enjoyed john green's books in the past
even though the premise was interesting i continued to be bothered by the main character… & maybe this was the purpose to help continue the plot but i just wanted her to be less goofy
overall, it was ok
