For the month of April I only made it through three books. It’s been busy month at work, its been a good month at work im really proud of the testing i have been doing.

First book adoptee killers it was hard to read sometimes, some of the killings were brutal. These are real stories if you were wondering.

The Dutch House by Ann Pattchet

I listened to the audio book version the narration was done by Tom Hanks. I enjoyed this book very much it was about a brother and sister and their relationship growing up.

Evicted by Matthew Desmond

I just finished this audio book the other day it was hard to listen to but it was eye opening. It discusses the housing crisis and poverty in our country. It follows five families in the Milwaukee area in their struggles finding housing, fighting evictions, feeding their kids, issues with drugs, poverty, and more.

These are the books I managed to get through for the month of April. Im now reading It didnt start with you, Maybe you should talk to someone.

Im an avid reader/audio book listener, I tend to listen to audio books more due to my busy schedule. I finished this audio book the other day, I was really moved by the book. I first heard about the book on book of the month’s instagram page, I follow their page to see what their picks are. I have listen to several books that they have mentioned on their page, and they are all really good. I dont have a subscription to them, I have one to audible.

I found the book to be deeply moving, its a memoir about Nicole. Its her experience as a Korean adoptee. She talks the many challenges she faced growing up with nobody that looked like her. She talked about not really understanding her ancestry. She finds her birth parents and her sisters, she forms a close bond with one of her sisters. Overall I think gives readers a better understanding of how complicated Adoption is, and how the adoptee suffers many losses when they are adopted. If you are interested in understanding adoption I recommend the book.
