I was a student in my second to last semester in Alabama's distance education MLIS program on April 27, 2011. Cohorts full of students watched the news like hawks from afar, breathing sighs of relief when it was announced that everyone in the Libary Studies department had come through the storm safely, rejoicing when first responder classmates were honored for their work.

This book ... I am so glad, so grateful, that this book exists on a deeply personal level.

The breadth of experiences Justice Sotomayor shares in this memoir is awe-inspiring. Some of them in particular spoke to situations in my own life and made me doubly glad I picked this book when I did.

And Rita Moreno's work on the audiobook is simply lovely.

The book left me really, really angry. I can't say why without being spoilery, but when the audiobook ran out I wanted to scream "DAMN YOU ERNIE CLINE YOU FIX THIS RIGHT NOW!"

sigh.

Checked this out on Kindle because I couldn't BEAR where the writers of the Poldark tv show left series 1. (Cliffhanger on a cliff. OMG.) Tore right through it in the space of an hour and a half while sitting on a beach.

To channel Jamie Fraser: I liked it fine.

[Current commuting audiobook, 14 August 2015. Started reading this book in text months ago, wondering if the audiobook is a better format for me.]

This cookbook had a recipe for gluten-free pizza crust that I'm really looking forward to trying.

[Downloaded 7/22/15 to be my next commuting audiobook.]
