This was a 3.5 to 4 ⭐ read for me until the superb twist at the end pushed it up to 5⭐ status. I really enjoy this series.

Next up is A Room with a View borrowed from #PrimeReading. Similar, yet not really. Having a hard time getting into it.

Sr Joan is very inspiring. This short book is incredibly motivating. She says we are all called to be prophets. I highlighted at least half of this book. By the last page, you're convinced you can change the world for the better. A call to activism like no other, with Catholic Doctrine backing up everything she says. The Church, country, and world depends on us.

Good to read if you are liberal and a Christian. President Carter has an interesring perspective, and it's nice to hear a voice from his generation counter the alt right narrative. This book addresses spirtual and sociological faith. He also explains how faith and science aren't in conflict. Good, short read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This book was a lot of fun. I especially appreciated that there was a half Mexican (like me!) MC as well as the topic of LGBTQ members of the British monarchy and the US first family. The reason I only give 3 stars is because the wealth and privilege was so unrelatable to me. I know that‘s the reality of those positions, but I had a hard time with it.

Two of my favorites

>>I have violent thoughts when people use the terms sci fi and fantasy interchangeably. "Oh, I love science fiction. I just read Lord of the Rings." I will end you.

>>I always say the book was better than the movie, but I don't even know if the movie has a book.

This showed up in #PrimeReading probably because of the new HBO series I haven't seen. It's a gritty, graphic, harsh commentary on humanity and society. Oddly enough, I feel a little better about the current state of affairs, since it isn't nearly as bad by comparison. Could be a helluva lot worse. Still a sobering read. Also, I found Rorchsach less endearing this time than I did when I saw the movie years ago.

SleepyDragon I didn't love the way the characters were drawn, but the artwork truly captures the sad state of humanity and it's deplorable underbelly. 4y

I picked this book up to help better understand what someone close to me is going through, but then something weird happened. I identified with some of what she was talking about. This makes me think that maybe sanity is a spectrum, like gender, and I'm further across the scale than people think I am. Or maybe I'm just some kind of mental health hypochondriac. At this point it's anyone's guess.

First book finished in 2020.

Can't really go wrong with Calvin and Hobbes. This was a trip down memory lane thanks to my friend's book club that I read along with online (#RtC).

Alternated between this and Watchmen the day I had to appear for jury duty. That was a bit surreal.
