Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head by Warsan Shire

There is nothing in common in my own life to that of the daughter in this book. Yet Warsan Shire manage to put together sentences and verses that stab me deeply and remind me of my own story.
I'm not really big on poetry, despite repeat attempts. This book is the closest thing I've had to loving it. I read it all in one sitting, at the edge of my seat, waiting for the next page.
My only real complaint, is that there was a small dictionary in the back to explain what certain foreign words meant. I understood a lot of it from context alone, but I think it would have been more impactful had I known some of those translations before reading the book.

Weirdly Insane Fun Facts For Immature Adults: 1000+ Fun Trivia And Weird Truths You Kinda Wanna Know by Edward D. Buzzard

I genuinely enjoyed a lot of these facts. And I learned quite a few new things!
However, after 300 or so facts, the author kept repeating previous facts. Sometimes he rephrased them a little differently but I kept thinking I had accidentally gone back.
It's still a good book, esp if you give it to someone young. But reading it in one sitting was disappointing.
