Review: The Woman in the Window

The Woman in the Window The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Feels like a combo of Girl on the Train and Rear Window. Seems slightly unfeasible as you can't really see inside someone's home during the day, unless they have a lot of bright lights on. Even then, you wouldn't see much due to daylight window glare. I was a little disappointed I figured it out but it was a good ride of a story.

Review: Red Sparrow

Red Sparrow Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Gah! Cliffhanger ending. Now I have to read the next one.
I love the Orions. I hope they made it into the movie.
I really enjoyed that there were recipes at the end of every chapter. It was very random but a nice touch.

Review: The Turner House

The Turner House The Turner House by Angela Flournoy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

At times I felt like there were too many characters. They were all so interesting but you only got a fragment of each story. I'm not really sure I liked how the ending was done, but overall a good book.

Review: Dare to Be Kind: How Extraordinary Compassion Can Transform Our World

Dare to Be Kind: How Extraordinary Compassion Can Transform Our World Dare to Be Kind: How Extraordinary Compassion Can Transform Our World by Lizzie Velásquez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was hoping this would a bit more autobiographical, as I think Velasquez is very interesting and I wanted to more about her. A lot of the stuff she includes in this book is probably the stuff she covers in her motivational speaking engagements. So, if you can't go see her, this is also good. I will rent her movie to fill in the gaps of what I didn't learn.
Her message is important to remember. It's so easy to lose it and not be as compassionate as we could be. Kindness matters.

Review: Tomorrow

Tomorrow Tomorrow by Damian Dibben
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I think if I became immortal, I'd choose a dog to be my companion through it all also. Interesting story.
