Book one of the Aloha Reef Series. We meet the Oana family. The first book focuses on Kaia Oana. She works with dolphins specifically a dolphin named Nani. An explosion on the water occurs and the next thing you know, Kaia and Nani are working with the US Navy to figure out why the explosion occurred. Good Story but predictable.

How to Make a Pancake

I read this book all by myself. It's a silly book about how to make a pancake. It tells you every step you take like adding the eggs and then the milk and pouring it into the pan. If you listen to the directions you can make a pancake. I like bacon and pancakes.

Incredible book! It gives a context for why we are kept away from learning the truth about our nation's history.

It was a great book to just relax and enjoy reading.

Maybe You Should Talk To Someone
by Lori Gottlieb

book cover


I liked this book at first. Lori Gottlieb has an interesting background and she writes well about the patients she treats and her own sessions in therapy. But this book was way too long - the short chapters jump around among these different stories and after a while I lost interest. Also, since Gottlieb combined and changed many parts of her patients' stories in order to protect their privacy, it was easy to get distracted wondering what was real and what was fiction.

Of Women And Salt

I usually love a good historical fiction read, but this one never caught my attention like others I have read. Took a while to get into this book. It was hard to follow for me. I liked that the theme was very relevant to the times we are living in.

Mystery Of The Griefer's Mark

Nice book, action, not a lot of details though. Overall, I thought it was good but not great.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
by Ocean Vuong

book cover


I listened to this book, read by the author. It is a letter to his mother telling her how he viewed his childhood with her. She is Vietnamese and brought him up in America alongside her own mother. His American father was aware but not involved in his upbringing. His mother is quite abusive to him and he also has a relationship with a boy called Trevor so it is quite a difficult book to listen to, but beautifully written.
