Some of the stories were to esoteric/technical, or they were just OK

The Sinners All Bow: Two Authors, One Murder, and the Real Hester Prynne by Kate Winkler Dawson
4.75
The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done by Kendra Adachi
3.75
I really like the tools and techniques mentioned in the book, very practical and very useful. I do think the mention of God was not necessary as it was only sprinkled one or two times throughout the book and the last three minutes. Not relevant to what she was talking about and could only serve to isolate readers who are not Christian. (Like me)
Happy All the Time by Laurie Colwin
4.5
I really enjoyed this!! It was very funny, great observational comedy and relationship dynamics .
Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People by Imani Perry
4.0
So smart and interesting. Looking at the color blue throughout Black history, “blue black” skin, slavery, African history, blues music.
Apartment Women by Gu Byeong-mo
3.0
I enjoyed this book and read it on audio. I liked the insight into the women’s lives and struggles against expectations of how they should be. Gender dynamics were well explored too.
