Famous for a Living

By Melissa Ferguson

Literally, every person who has a smart phone and/or social medua shoud read this book!! So many powerful truths and messages!! 

I was instantly drawn into Cat's world. As an influencer myself I totally understood the lifestyle of always having my phone in my hand. I was thrilled that it all upended for her! And she handled it like a BOSS!

Oh, and Zaiah. What a perfect male character if there ever was one! I loved him from the airport and all the way through to the end. He was swoonworthy every step of the way. 

The other park rangers, that quirky and charming Mina, Zaiah's mom, Cat's uncle Terry and best friend Serena were all very well thought out and they filled in all the pores of Cat's life. I did not want this story to end! I loved the audiobook version, and am a huge fan of Talon David's narrating. 

Review of Dear Martin by Nic Stone

Dear Martin, took me by complete surprise and introduced me to an Own Voice author that I have not known before. Nic Stone has become, very quickly I might add, one of my favorite new middle grade and YA authors. Her storytelling ability is remarkable as I'm reading the book, I am picturing scene by scene in my mind and putting faces to voices. This character-driven story has impacted me in a way most contemporaries don't do. 

Dear Martin, made me look at my surroundings, my work office, my school, my church, my grocery store, and my neighborhood. I listened to how people said things to and about one another, and I recognize the injustices as soon as I opened my eyes. I am a white middle-aged, middle-class woman and even though I struggle from time to time to have money to do extra things that I want to do (I am by no means a Beverly Hills chick), I don't and could not understand what it is like to be oppressed in America. 

Dear Martin, opened my eyes to the injustices that surround us on a day-to-day basis. For such a small book to have such a huge impact makes me speechless even though I'm rambling on about how much I loved it. This is a book that my 12-year-old son will read. This is a book, that I want my husband to read. I want to gift this book to everyone I know because I want people to look past the notions of prejudices that we’re taught and raised with.  I immediately fell down a Nic Stone rabbit hole and just devoured my third book of hers and I'm ready for the next one!

Cornerstone message from the collection: 

            My cornerstone message is about freedom. Freedom from the past, from the messes, the mistakes, regrets, fears, and failures. As a military wife, freedom means so much to me, but as a Christian, I want to be as free on the inside as I am on the outside. This cornerstone message resonates with many believers. We say we’re free, but often we’re in that freedom.
