The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult

Find on Amazon

First book for 2025 ✅ (although I did start it the last week of December).

What I love most about Jodi Picoult is how much she invests into researching about subjects. This story was about Egyptian tombs and things which was unique to this one. I’ve learned so much about humpback whales, elephants, prejudice, autism, a breakable bone condition, and more from this amazing writer.

And despite this copy was missing 30 pages about 2/3 way in the storyline was still complete, engaging, and so heartwarming.

10/10 (once again)

Books like this sure can make you rethink your life choices and if you’re doing your best in the present.

Following head trauma, 37 year old Ramie wakes up as an 18 year old. She looks back at her life as it was and wonders what would have made her happier.

It was a good one.

Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford

Find on Amazon

This book was so well written, depicting a part of history that may not be as familiar: early American trafficking of children from Japan and China. Really makes you think about the value of a life.

As a mom it’s hard to imagine the desperation that would cause a woman to give up her child … 😭

He’s such a great writer. I will be looking for more titles by Jamie Ford!

Talk to you soon!
