Why'd I read it: Title seemed interesting Genre: Nonfiction Thoughts: A look at groceries from sourcing to distribution to how they get on shelves. Expose on some of the darker truths about how we get our groceries. One quote I liked was "we eat they way we are." #BookSky #QuickReview

Why'd I read it: The cover 😅 Genre: fiction Thoughts: 1st half was slower and was reminded me of a mukbang when she was describing food. Addresses societal norms, views on appearance particularly weight, and I felt like MC was learning how to actually live a life. #BookSky #QuickReview

Why'd I read it: Title Genre: Memoir, Nonfiction Thoughts: Her childhood in North Korea was very reminiscent of 1984. As she mentions people in North Korea don't know what liberties they gave because they have no comparison to other nations. Information is power. #BookSky #QuickReview

Why'd I read it: The title Genre: nonfiction Thoughts: Some quotes I really enoyed: Your life is defined by not only by what you think about it, but also what you think of yourself. The greatest act of self love is to no longer except a life you are unhappy with. #BookSky #QuickReview

Why'd I read it: Saw that it was a top audiobook Genre: Fiction Thoughts: Definitely see why people preferred it as a audiobook. The structure is like a behind the music style documentary. The cast did a great job bringing out the emotions that mightve felt lost on a page. #BookSky #QuickReview
