Splinters – Couldn’t finish it

My Year of Meats – I don’t remember who suggested this book to me, but I recall it was one of their favorites. The book was written in 1999 and speaks loudly to the food industry, the pay for play, the integrity of journalism, and cultural differences. I loved it.

Margo Has Money Troubles – A wild ride of making money on OnlyFans, a young baby, a WWE father, a crazy mother. Captures moments of our times.

The Return of Ellie Black – Fast page turning murder-mystery book that I couldn’t put down.

Mina’s Matchbox – A story set in 1970 Japan about two young children. A simple yet beautiful book.

The Mighty Red – This book is on many of the top book lists for 2024, so I finally read it. It is a story about a community in North Dakota today. The characters and their way of life. A good read.

Cher, A Memoir – I love Cher. What a life! I can hardly wait for the second half of the memoir to come out in 2025!

The Motherless Land – Growing up in Nigeria, being shipped off to London, and then returning home again makes it hard to figure out who you are—a great read.

The Magnificent Ruins – Couldn’t put it down.

The Many Lives of Mama Love – The title kept me from reading this book, but I finally dove in. Should a mother of four end up in jail over addiction? It’s a worthy read.

The Island of Missing Trees – A beautiful read. The interweaving of stories about the war in Cyprus, family, love, and the tree that connects and sees all.

Love and Missed – This complex book has sadness and happiness. Motherhood is not easy.
