I really enjoyed reading this book. Even more than the author's book dedicated to the First Ladies.This is a collection of stories told by many different voices, and that's what makes it special. I'm not a fan of scandals and embarrassing details, so I liked that this book is focused on domestic routines, funny moments,... Continue Reading →
“A Woman Makes a Plan” by Maye Musk
I truly loved this book. The style is refreshingly simple, but the thoughts - wise. Maye Musk doesn't share extensive personal details, which is rarely welcome, only if a person likes that particular thing in memoir, but at the same time, you read and really see the person behind the book.While reading “A Woman Makes...

“Inside Out” by Demi Moore
I've developed a true passion for biographies and autobiographies in a recent couple of years. It started with the two books given to me by my friend to read. The biography of Winston Churchill's mother (the most fascinating read) and the autobiography of Agatha Christie (one of the best autobiographies I've read so far).I'm not... Continue Reading →
“True Love” by Jennifer Lopez
This one is a lovely, easy read. But don't expect it to tell you J Lo's story.

“Hillbilly Elegy” by J. D. Vance

“Kellcey” by Kacey Kells
“Kellcey” by Kacey Kells is a story that often is left untold. It felt like reading a diary. And this narrative style made the story even more heartbreaking. Kacey Kells tells about her almost perfect “before” life with the ingenuousness of youth. Her thoughts are so pure that you feel helpless fury that this purity... Continue Reading →
“Becoming” by Michelle Obama
While not a huge fan of “new and bestselling” books, I could not go by Michelle Obama’s autobiography “Becoming”. The book was looking at me from every shelf of every bookstore I was passing by. I have read the book and I am glad that I have. I loved the style – deep, sincere, and... Continue Reading →
