Spring Book Review

Quarantine gave me the blessing of learning to love to read again. I got through quite a few books this springtime and wanted to share them all. A few I didn’t like, and some I LOVED. So, here’s my book review!

Where the Crawdads Sing– This was one of my favorite books and the first fiction book I’ve read in YEARS. I tend to gravitate towards more informative, self help, books but I really enjoyed this book. The set takes place in the Outer Banks, NC and is a murder-mystery in a sense.
Educated– An absolutely INCREDIBLE book. This book and author have been featured on ELLEN, and many more spots. It’s a memoir about Tara Westover’s life and how she overcame a very closed off life and ended up getting her degree and going to Cambridge and Harvard. She grew up in a Mormon family who didn’t believe in school, modern medicine, and much more. Her story is fascinating.
You are a Badass at Making Money- I had hoped this one would’ve been more informative on HOW to make money, save efficiently, and be a badass at making money haha. Instead, it was more of a “focus and manifest on getting rich” kind of book and I didn’t love it. She had some good points in there but nothing that motivated me.
Make Your Bed– So this was a book that Josh read MONTHS ago. He had told me that I would like it but I never read it. Then, I was reading about how awesome this book is somewhere and decided to pick it up one evening and try it. It’s the EASIEST read (I finished in 24 hours) and a really great book for both men and women. It’s based on a Navy SEAL’s life and life lessons he learned for a productive and efficient life throughout his training. Really enjoyed!
Everything is F%$&#!- I reviewed this one on stories a few months back but this book was pretty good. It’s very scientific and philosophical based…. so I had a hard time staying concentrated and found myself skipping through a lot of pages when it brought up Newton’s laws lol. Just being honest!
