Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson - Book Review

This non fiction book covers a wide range of topics in the field of astrophysics. And for someone who is not in the field of astrophysics professionally, or even as a hobby, I feel like this book covered a lot of information in a fairly deep manner, in a hurry - but it didn't provide a lot of how and why for the field, which negatively affected my reading experience. I tried to listen to the audiobook, because Neil deGrasse Tyson reading this to me should be a pleasure, but nope - couldn't do it! This book is under two hundred pages, but as I was reading it I had to go over each page two or three times. Until reading this I don't think I had a full appreciation for just how abstract all of these ideas are and how hard it is to wrap your brain around them. I do think I learned a lot from reading this book though and enjoyed the experience when I felt that the information was explained in an accessible manner!

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman - Book Review

I love this book SO MUCH! And I think that it might be my new favorite fiction novel, and I can not possible tell you all of the reasons why, but you have to read this book! It follows a woman named Eleanor and she is wonderful, but she is definitely not "fine". Something terrible happened to Eleanor as a child and as a result she really struggles socially and also emotionally. And this book explores her experience, and how she might be able to heal from that trauma. You know those books, that you feel if everyone read them the world would be a better place? This is that book. I finished this books week ago, and let it sit with me before reviewing - I still think about it, and the things that it taught me.

STILL ME GIVEAWAY - US ONLY

"Still Me" is the third book in the series, and follows my, much beloved, Louisa Clark, on her newest adventure in New York City. She works there as an assistant to Agnes, the wife of a wealthy businessman. Agnes has some major secrets, and an agenda all of her own, and Louisa is left trying to pick up all of the pieces. " Still Me" is now my second favorite book in the series. I really like how the author returned to some of those more difficult topics that drew me to the first book in this series, "Me Before You". Louisa really struggles in this book in staying to her true self, her bumblebee striped tights wearing Louisa, while also exposing herself to all of these new opportunities that core person.
