Book Review: The Many Lives Of Mama Love
Oprah’s first book club pick of the year was (kind of) a repeat author. Her book club pick in June 2018 was Anthony Ray Hinton’s memoir called “The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life And Freedom On Death Row”, only the book was ghost written by Lara Love – AKA Mama Love who would be Oprah’s book club pick six years later with her own incarceration memoir.
This is a success story – a suburban…

March Quick Reviews
I read 14ish books in March (depending I guess if you count the DNF’s), some of them book club picks, some new releases, some old that have been on my TBR forever and I failed my own book prompt! haha! I thought I completed it, but looking back now I see there are no animals on any of the covers, but there is whale spray on one of them and one book has an animal in the name, that will have to do…

February Quick Reviews
Spoiler free and rapid fire reviews coming up – this month I’ve read 12 books. This month was romance month and black history month, but I ended up stuck for a week in a small town in Sweden hanging out with a hockey team! (I blame the winter darkness still going strong!)
I tried reading GMA’s pick “Come and get it” a highly anticipated sophomore book by Kiley Reid who wrote “Such a fun age” a…

January Quick Reviews
I am at my most productive at the beginning of the year, this is nothing new. I try to do it all and I usually burn out by easter and end up doing absolutely nothing for a week during easter break, and that’s a system that works so why tamper with it?
I read 14 books this month, I found some real gems, read some bestsellers and dug into my TBR pile that dates back decades. Starting with the book…

Mindy's book studio
I just noticed a book yesterday with a sticker that said “Mindy’s book studio” and I had to google it, only to find that I’m 2 years behind in knowing that Mindy Kaling has her own book imprint. From the website: “Mindy’s Book Studio celebrates emerging and diverse voices, from fresh romantic comedies and poignant coming-of-age stories to suspenseful dramas with unforgettable female…

Diversity reading challenge prompts for 2024
I always make a point to read diverse books mosty by minority writers. My favorite being asian-american or eurasian, bonus if it’s filipino! But I also try to read native, LGBTQ+, people with disabilies, people on the spectrum, translated, and books that bend genres. I love books that are different, since I read a lot, I can often get bored with books that follow a pattern and become too…

Some book clubs have a…

Why I make New Year’s resolutions!
I’ve always valued a fresh start. A new year, a new beginning, a new job, a new apartment, or even just a Monday, the beginning of a new week! And as I just learned, the fresh start effect, is real! Behavioral science finds us more motivated and excited to reach our goals when we stand at the beginning of something new. So we can use this moment to boost our motivation to reach our…

Book Review - Horse Barbie by Geena Rocero
A near perfect memoir with lots of extras to dive into!
I hadn’t heard about Geena Rocero until I found her book on a list somewhere, and as a Filipino, I read everything I can get my hands on by Filipino authors! And wow, was I lucky I found this on a trip to the US this summer. (I doubt I would have found it in Norway.)
Geena Rocero is a trans model activist who started her journey doing…

November books!
Snow is already on the ground and the candles are lit! Tis the season to get cosy under the blanket and read some good books. My personal Multicultural spine choice is currently “Horse Barbie” by Geena Rocero, a filipino trans activist telling her universal story of survival and love through her journey in pageants and modelling. It came out this summer and I’m finally getting to it. I’m also…

Review: The woman in me by Britney Spears
“There have been so many times when I was scared to speak up because I was afraid somebody would think I was crazy.”
Britney Spears
“She’s so lucky, she’s a star, but she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking, If there’s nothing missing in my life, then why do these tears come at night?” Britney’s hit song “Lucky” rings familiar in my ears as I read her memoir. She’s finally showing us…

October books!
The book club books, the new releases, the classics, the gilmore girls ultimate reading list, the list of things I want to read this fall is long! Also I started my own bookclub on bookclubs.com called “multicultural spines” if you want to follow along and read some multicultural stories by multicultural authors! The first book I decided to read for my own bookclub was Alejandra Campoverdi’s…
