LIFESTYLE | December 2020 Reads
24 / 6 | TIFFANY SHLAIN
This read all about taking a day to rest and unplug from screens was right up my ally. If you know me at all, you know that as a personal rule I am unplugged on Saturdays. This puts another spin and perspective on why that might be the best thing for you.
THE MOMENT OF LIFT | MELINDA GATES
I loved getting Melindas perspective on all things work/mothering and passion for both. Her relationship with her husband is one that they have honed and harnessed to inspire, collaborate with and love each other.
REFLECTION | ELIZABETH LIM
A fun rapid read twist on what happens after Mulan causes the avalanche.
ONCE UPON A RIVER | DIANE SETTERFEILD
At times, I struggled to keep track of the characters of this one. If you love a good plot twist, and major character weaving, this is a good one.
UNTAMED | GLENNON DOYLE
Does this really need any explanation? Glennon speaks to the heart of personal identity, womanhood and all that we have struggled to overcome in a society that repeats its mistakes over and over again.
THE SCOTTISH PRISONER | DIANA GABALDON
I admit, I found myself skimming sections of this huge novel. Mostly, because as this is an “aside” to the series of a side and main character, I accidentally fell into thinking I had already read sections, when really it was more zoomed in moments, filling in the gaps and giving us insight into what John & Jamie got up to while Claire was in the future.
THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM | MARIE BENEDICT
An interesting take on a woman during WWII trying to navigate the pursuit and marriage of a dangerous man. I found it interesting. The main character a delightful read.
