A book club can be full of personality conflicts, or lack of commitments, or no real intellect but with the right books, you can have a blast.
My book club is coming soon. Get ready to decolonize your bookshelf in 2019. I hope to host some great, thought-provoking discussions and open people’s eyes to what they’ve been missing by relegating Asian American writing as “special interest” and therefore, inessential. To us Asians, these works

I always get asked what the best books to read in your early 20s are, or even just what are the books every millennial should read... but the truth is there are so many books we all need in our lives. We need fiction books inspired by true stories or real life events that let us into the heart and soul or allow us to reimagine worlds we think we knew. We need non fiction books to offer us tips, advice, and experiences that can only be shared by an inspirational messenger who lived it and practices what they preach. Some books may be better suited for females and other for males and others for non-identifying. But the reality is, there are so many good books out there, and while this is a long list of some of the best books to read before 30, it's not the only list. This is a (hopefully) balanced reading list for how to survive your 20s with books on career, finance, overcoming adversity and tragedy, life hacks, new perspectives, helping the planet and more.
This post is part of my Books That Feel Like This... series, showcasing books that feel like whatever you want more of in life.

"Notice that I say 'books', not some random Internet articles. Reading, especially in long form, can help you develop your intellectual and deep understanding in a much better way than scanning a five-minute 'X way to do Y' kind of news. Also, the more you read, the better you write. So get some books and start reading right away!"
Readers, get ready. It's the first-ever Modern Mrs Darcy Reading Challenge, and it's gonna be great. Here's the deal: read 12 books in 12 different

We love the characters in The Good Place, but alas, all comedic afterlife shows must come to an end. Read these books to fill that Good Place-shaped hole!
It’s no secret that I love reading. I’ve always got a few books on the go and at any given moment am a part of two to four different book clubs. I don’t just enjoy reading though, I also enjoy making book lists, talking about books, writing about books, shopping for books, scoring a cheap…

Welcome to my online reading log! I love Scribd and you can check them out for two months for FREE to see which of these books might be on Scribd as an ebook or audiobook, just click on the word Scribd here in this post. I do find that most books I want to read or listen to can be found over there with only a few exceptions. Please check back here regularly. I have eclectic tastes and I include what I'm reading to the kids as well (just click here to go to that post)! And yes, I do read more than one book at once! (disclaimer: I might get a few cents if you buy a book or ebook using the links in this post) On my Scribd list of audiobooks to listen to next while I walk (I pay $8.99 for unlimited audiobooks and ebooks each month!): Light Over London by Julia Kelly The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman The Mermaid by Christina Henry Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult The Home for Unwanted Girls by Joanna Goodman Inside Out by Demi Moore finished in December and loved it! So many great insights I might just buy my own copy and mark it up. Listened to this one on Scribd while I walked, put away laundry, made dinner, drove, etc. (Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine). I found it a little slow. (Finished August 12, 2019) Reading this one in paperback by the pool (gift from my friend Jill); (Finished around August 20, 2019): This one looks like a quick read I might do next: Jill also gave me this one in paperback, and it will round out pool season nicely! (started 9/8/19 and still listening to on walks as of October 8, 2019) Planning to start this one in September. Started this one August 12 on audiobook and was immediately drawn in (over half done as of August 27 and can't wait to see the movie); finished 9/8/19 and highly recommend: I got a little distracted because some friends want to go see the Downton Abbey movie and it was a show I always wanted to start so I did. I watched before bed, while putting away laundry, doing dishes, cooking, etc. As of 10/8/19 I'm on the final season and excited to go see the movie with friends! If I fall in love with Kristin Hannah, I'm heading to this one next, then I'll start posting more: Then I'd like to check out this one: And this one: And this one: I got this one free at church and keep it by my bed for reading a little at a time: Suggested for everyone to read by Stephanie Williams on my Facebook fan page: Stephanie Williams Read : A million Little Pieces, Piece of Cake and Vurt at least twice each.
I love a good book club, but mostly for terribly lazy reasons. Book clubs not only keep me reading, but they also keep me honest. The knowledge that I’m going to have to talk about whatever I am reading with a group of my friends will at least make…
A list of books on political activism recommended by American philosopher and public intellectual Noam Chomsky.
As the Northeast is battered by “Winter Storm Hercules”—a nor’easter all but destined to enter Wikipedia’s list of notable nor’easters—one public library has provided succor, sort of. In Hopkinton, Massachusetts, a redditor came across this sign; to its great credit, it suggests neither burning books, nor reading erotica aloud, nor any other heat-generating gimmickry. Rather, […]
