Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Jason Reynolds & Ibram X. Kendi
Pub Info: March 10, 2020 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
I’ve been determined to start taking better care of myself this year, and part of that includes taking better habits when it comes to taking care of my skin. Korean skincare has always interested me, and a couple of years ago, one of my college roomies recommended I pick up The Little Book of Skin Care to help me understand the basics. I should’ve listened to her then and there, but instead, I waited years before picking this one up (which I’m regretting now). While I did know the basics about Korean skincare (thanks to the internet and friends who have incorporated it into their own routines), this book provided me with a fresh perspective. I appreciated the way that it delved a little deeper into the aspects of a normal skincare routine, including the reasoning and benefits to be gained from each. I liked the practical, friendly tone Cho uses in this book, as it feels like you’re learning from a relative or a friend. I also liked that this wasn’t just focused on what products you need to acquire (which can often be overwhelming, and I’ll admit that it still is since both you and the product offerings are changing constantly); it talks about better habits that will also contribute to overall better skin. I definitely tabbed a lot of pages, and will be referring to this one as I embark on a journey to figure out my new skincare habits and routine!

I probably wouldn't have had Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir on my radar were it not for my friend Kristin, who read, enjoyed and recommended this title after she devoured it last year. Ruth Reichl is a well-known American food writer, restaurant critic and former editor-in-chief of the magazine Gourmet. She's released a number of memoirs, but this one in particular centers around the ups and downs of her life when she was in charge of the magazine. I didn't know anything at all about this author before picking up the memoir, so everything revealed within its pages was new to me. It's clear that Reichl loves food in many capacities; she enjoys consuming, creating and writing about it. And it was pretty interesting to see her at various points in her life and career, especially when it came to being a big player in the magazine industry. I liked it overall, but it did take me longer to read than I'd anticipated since there were portions of the story that didn't hold my attention well.
