Book cover of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Joanne Alain Cook ❤️ loved this book because...

This awesome story is jam packed with lyrical and brainy writing. Even if you don't gravitate toward digital games, like me, the characters will charm you into a fascination with them. The creative process detailed here is awesome. Best of all, each of the main characters are likable and unlikable. I found them human, believable, and beautiful in different ways.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Women

Joanne Alain Cook ❤️ loved this book because...

This one is thought provoking with important commentary on the military service of women during the Vietnam War. More than the historic details about the war, this gives a pretty accurate glimpse into the female experience in the armed forces.

What is this book about?

The missing. The forgotten. The brave… The women.

From master storyteller Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes the story of a turbulent, transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels—at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and broken by politics, of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the battlefield.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies

Joanne Alain Cook ❤️ loved this book because...

This book is a complete breath of fresh literary air! Well-written, fast-paced, developed characters, lots of historical Easter eggs of Regency England! Not to mention, two middle-aged, but spunky feminists navigating the ills of a male-dominated oppressive society. This book was pure fun.
