5feet.of.fury @Roary47 for some reason I thought it would be easier once he was out of the potato stage but I already see that I was wrong 😂 and I agree -so catchy! So many earworms! Hope the sleepover goes well! 52m

I'm a little late for the #OhCanada discussion, but I didn't want to miss out on this book. It's hard to review a memoir, especially one with this much trauma, but I think Knott faced her trauma head on and framed her story well. I'm interested to see what her newer book is like.

I‘m glad our library picked this book for One Book One Denver this year so that I finally got around to it. I loved Hsu‘s approach to this memoir about his college experience, his relationship with his friend Ken, and his identity as Taiwanese American. Trying to find his place and who he wants to be in the context of who he is and who others are around him. It felt so relatable despite our different experiences. A sign of a great memoir.

'Becoming' truly changed my life
Reading Michelle Obama‘s memoir was inspiring on its own, but sharing thoughts with others who were reading it on Piki made it hit even deeper.
I loved the feeling of supporting and connecting with each other, it felt like we were growing together.
Thanks to Piki, I not only discovered a great book but also had a space to talk about it, which made reading so much more fun. Highly recommend both the book and the app

Making sense of the unimaginable, natural disasters, struggling with what can be real, remembering, enduring love, details, grief, survivor‘s guilt, haunting, rebuilding a life. Deraniyagala‘s family killed in 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka. 2013

P198 “It still seems far-fetched, my story, even to me. Everyone vanishing an instant, me spinning out from that mud, what is this, some kind of myth? Even now I cannot mouth those words “They are all dead.“

This was the first of two “close my eyes and pull from my shelves” #bookspin choices this month. I switched to the audio since it was available from my library.

This is a memoir about trying to get US citizenship, about immigration and deportation. The author‘s family has experienced it all.

The author is a poet, and I didn‘t love his writing style. He switched timelines in a way that was hard to follow for me. But it‘s an important POV.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 5d
