Because of Jenny 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Three to Get Deadly 🌟🌟🌟🌟
To Be Young and In Love 🌟🌟🌟
Accidental Activist: Justice for the Groveland Four 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I can’t believe that February is over already! 😲 Although I am so ready for winter to be over. We haven’t even had that bad of a winter this year, but I am just so over it. The cold, staying inside all day, the dark and gloomy sky, so depressing.
But we did have some great reads this month!! Winner for sure is Accidental Activist. I am still working on the review, so stay tuned for that. Because Of Jenny coming in a close second! Both were so good!

Accidental Activist- (Memoir) Young college student becomes committed to getting a posthumous pardon and exoneration for the Groveland Four 66 years after they were falsely accused. This is his story of the four years of dedication and hard work it took to right this aggregious wrong. So inspiring and infuriating at the same time.

Because Of Jenny – (Literary Fiction)
Eric is an 18 year old with severe depression. After a failed suicide attempt, but before he tries again he meets Jenny.
Jenny is a heroine addict, who is ready to become clean. She has friends in California, and a doctor has agreed to provide her with Suboxone, a drug that will help her fight her cravings so she can get finally get clean. Eric offers to drive her across the county to achieve this. Brutally honest book about societal views on suicide and addiction.

Book Review – To Be Young and in Love

To be young and in love

To be young and in love by Kuo Kenih

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Poetry

Give yourself
Love and see how
It spreads.

You were not
Born for him
You were born
For the world.

She did not let
Her past define her present
Nor the future


A short book of poetry directed toward girls between ages of 16 and 25. Very simple haikus about broken hearts, moving on, and healing. For myself as an adult woman, they were just okay. The language is very basic and lacking substance. A few I really liked and connected with. For me, the ones about loving yourself were my favorite. As a whole though, I could see a younger girl really identifying with them and maybe even finding solace in them.

2021 Book 4 – The shortest book (by pages) on your TBR list

This is a book of poetry, 41 pages. Definitely my shortest book.
I chose to read this one next as I am still in the Valentines weekend mood. Carying on the LOVE theme.

Blurb:
Are you in a relationship and are struggling to make a decision? Read this now for some inspiration.

Very interesting…. I’m not struggling in my relationship but I’m intrigued as to what this poetry is all about as the description is pretty vague and reviews are all over the place.
