    How to Share an Egg by Bonny Reichert

    Book Summary.

    How to Share an Egg Bonny Reichert HOW TO SHARE AN EGG is a memoir that is a mix of a food biography and personal experiences. Bonny grew up in a loving home with food and fond family memories. Her father, a survivor of the holocaust who lives his life in response to his horrifying experiences and her mother who does the same but in different ways. Food was always at the center of her familial experiences. Around the table is where some of her favorite parts of childhood happened. She learned very early that love meant food and food meant home. Although she knew her parents always loved her she didn’t always feel that they allowed her to live her own life. She was often plagued by inherited guilt. And oftentimes felt that she could not want more for her life as she was surviving which was more than her father could’ve expected. It is a story of one life that I think a lot of us can find a home in. Sharing her perspective will help a lot of us own ours.

    The Review.

    An important conversation had within the pages of HOW TO SHARE AN EGG is about trauma and the exchange that happens when our traumatic stories are shared. Learning there is a difference between what is secret and what is private. What is relieved when it is shared and what is transferred. In all cases light is cast into the darkness but oftentimes, someone is left in the shadows. It’s about love, family expectations about finding you own path. Growing up and growing into yourself. I am thankful for the opportunity to read it and it opened my eyes to my own associations with food and survival. It helped me to understand and really contemplate what food means to me.

  • Book Review: The Truth About Immigration by Zeke Hernandez

    The Truth About Immigration by Zeke Hernandez

    Book Summary.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT IMMIGRATION Zeke Hernandez Reading this felt like watering a swamp bush. But even the ocean needs the rain and I’m glad I scheduled in time to read THE TRUTH ABOUT IMMIGRATION. THE TRUTH ABOUT IMMIGRATION promises the truth about what happens negatively and positively when people migrate. How it affects the economy and culture of the place migrants migrate to. Trends in business ownership, culture, production, and impact on surrounding areas include employees, owners, and patrons.

    The Review.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT IMMIGRATION talks little about how the immigrant population is affected, how the originating country is affected by migration, and how we who are in support of immigration can help to support the migrant population in our communities near and far. It touches briefly on how immigration affects politics and voting. I would’ve liked a lot more information on voting statistics. Overall, I would’ve liked more specific substantiated statistics. Some of that information is not available. Some of the research is done the way it’s done because those are the most effective ways of collecting, interpreting, and summarizing that information. It may not cover all the aspects and details of what you’re looking for. THE TRUTH ABOUT IMMIGRATION is a convincing argument for those who believe immigration affects the livelihood of the country they migrate to negatively. It is lacking for those who are in support of immigration. And we need both. Thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy! THE TRUTH ABOUT IMMIGRATION…⭐⭐⭐xesd

  • Book Review: Imminent by Luis Elizondo

    Imminent by Luis Elizondo

    Book Summary.

    IMMINENT by Luis Elizondo was embargoed and no part of it was available to read before midnight. There is a reason for that. The text is mind-blowing. “While there are valid reasons for secrecy around some aspects of UAP, I do not think humanity should be kept in the dark about the fundamental fact that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe.” 🤯 Introduction Imminent Luis Elizondo Not science fiction, urban fantasy, and not alien books (thanks GOODREADS). This title is classified as nonfiction. NONFICTION! If you read anything that comes out on August 20, 2024, let it be this. If you want to know the truth pick it up. Things can only get better with knowledge. Let’s chat.

    The Review.

    Scarier than the latest book about a home invasion (NIGHTWATCHING). More worrisome than the expose of an inevitable nuclear war (NUCLEAR WAR by Annie Jacobsen), and more frightening than the storyline of Stephen King’s latest title because it is all real. It’s all true. Everything you thought was, wasn’t. Everything you thought wasn’t, is. No matter how much you want to feel like you’re alone, we are not. “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers.” James Baldwin The truth about Roswell Encounters Pregnancy Abduction Chemtrails over the country club Animal mutilation Time distortion GOD helmets Experiencers (not a typo) Remote Viewing Defying current laws of physics Tic Tac shaped, self-propulsion, UAP (Unidentified Ariel Phenomena) Redacted information Other specific pieces of information leaked What it has to do with GOD, with religion, with angels, and with us. Orbs Quantum Entanglement Intelligent life We are not the Alpha Instantaneous acceleration Automatons Secret government programs How it matters, why it matters, and when it matters. Gary Nolan Blink 182 Congress and the parts they play in disclosure and US Presidents and the parts they don’t play. You can’t believe everything you think. You can’t listen to everything you’re told. You can’t buy everything you’re sold. The reconciliation is IMMINENT. IMMINENT…⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This week. A week full of reviews. 2024 Booker Prize longlist novels, Obama’s summer reading list titles, and some of my most anticipated of the year. Don’t miss it. Stick around. Subscribe for a while.
