Educated by Tara Westover

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson
The more I think about this book the lower my rating gets. - 🫠 1/5 Stars

Catherine The Great: Portrait Of A Woman by Robert K. Massie
A very engaging biography sourced from personal memoirs. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Doppelganger by Naomi Klein
I enjoyed the doppelganger lense, and it's insightful but didn't really offer me any new information. And it is quite depressing! - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England’s Kings and Queens by David Mitchell
David Mitchell telling me the history of England's monarchs, what's not to love?! - 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 5/5 Crowns
The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell
An accessible, conversational look at the cognitive biases that affect our thinking in the modern world. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell
Exceptionally thin on the linguistic elements, and full of basic filler on cults - all of which I already knew! ⭐⭐ 2/5 Stars
I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn’t) by Brené Brown
An interesting topic but felt a bit too American, and focused on research findings rather than actionable advice. Her later books are probably a better starting point. - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
