Wow, what a life! 🏰

For our Book Club this month, we read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. Wow! One of my friend's recommended this one since I liked Educated (an old Book Club pick) and I can see why she recommended it!

This follows Jeannette's extremely difficult and neglectful childhood - but it's told completely direct and devoid of anger, pain or hate. Knowing that she went on to become a journalist, it definitely reads like a reporter - straight to the point without adding in much of her own opinion.

I thought this type of writing style for a memoir was really refreshing! She also shows the good and the bad in people - no one in this book is one dimension. Really makes you stop and think about your own life.

Overall a great book and a quick one, too! I felt like I sped through this one in no time, I couldn't put it down!

⚓ Book Club pick for July ⚓

Next month, I'll be reading The Wager: a tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder by David Grann. Another friend recommended this one and that's enough for me! This tells the true story of the Wager Mutiny - can't wait!

📕 What is Book Club?

My goal is to read more - so I started Book Club! Each month, I’ll post what I’m reading and you are welcome to join in 📚 Whether you want to read or listen, it's totally up to you! At the end of the month, we’ll share our thoughts on the book (no spoilers in case you're still reading/listening).

You can try and read each book, or pick and choose month-to-month, or not! It’s totally up to you.

Happy reading!
