Book #70: I Who Have Never Known Men - Jacqueline Harpman #BookSky
Really interesting concept and setting, I've never read anything else like it. I wish we got more answers as to what was going on in the world, but I enjoyed the relationships between the women. A very unique story

Book #69: Inferno - Dan Brown #BookSky
Dan Brown books are always fun but the science in this one was just too fantastical to give more than 3⭐. Interesting and twisty plot, lots of cliffhangers, and brilliantly described locations. Not good but definitely fun, basically an action film

Read for the Native Voices GR challenge and so glad I did, very good. Frontier town America is not a setting I've read much in, and I enjoyed the storytelling style. Kinda forgot about the modern plot framing device

Book #65: Educated - Tara Westover #BookSky
This is a tough read but fantastic. Great insight into cult behaviour and ultra religious communities in small town America. Tara had a very hard life, but she fought to find her own path. Fundamentally a story about misogyny

It was a nice way to link the plot lines together. The story starts in the mid 1950s when a murder has just occurred, then flashes back to different women telling stories of the past. And the house sort of introduces the next character to be focused on
