Almost Almost Famous

The Uncool by Cameron Crowe

March 25, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Though it’s been a while since he last had a big hit movie, Cameron Crowe’s name still has a resume that would make any pop culture fiend seethe with envy. From his impossibly early start as a teenage rock-and-roll journalist for Rolling Stone magazine to his award-winning career as a screenwriter and director, Crowe has lived a fascinating life full of encounters with the biggest names in show business. In The Uncool, his first memoir, he concentrates on his early life and journalism career. The […]

The American Female Q

In True Face: A Woman's Life in the CIA, Unmasked by Jonna Méndez

March 14, 2026 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Jonna began her work at the CIA as a ‘career wife,’ supporting her husband’s job, but soon she started taking on bigger and important roles in the agency, for which she lived all over the world and eventually rose to the position of Chief of Disguise. Having read plenty about the CIA’s origins as the OG old boy’s club in which a lot of men threw ideas at a wall and hoped they’d stick during World War 2, this book was interesting to me for […]

A Change in Perspective

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad

March 14, 2026 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I found One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This [One Day] (2025) by Omar El Akkad because I was seeing it all over the place. It won the National Book Award and was on a number of high-profile lists. I’ve been interested in learning more about Palestine for some time, especially after the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas, and the subsequent violence from Israel against Palestinians. I found this book very well written and eye opening. Omar El Akkad was born in […]

The celebrity I would be most excited about sitting next to on a plane

The Look by Michelle Obama

March 10, 2026 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of Michelle Obama, and I find news about either Obama kind of nostalgic and reassuring these days. So, I picked up The Look (2025) by Michelle Obama from my library as soon as I heard about it. It is probably relevant that I do not have a strong interest in fashion. Although I like to sometimes browse through movie stars’ dresses from award shows or look at wedding dresses, I personally dress only for comfort. My job and my lifestyle do not […]

It’s never too late for a comeback

Awake by Jen Hatmaker

March 7, 2026 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I think I may have first seen Awake (2025) by Jen Hatmaker on NYT’s Best Books of the Year List. I’m a fan of memoirs, and the blurb caught my attention. So, I borrowed the Audiobook from my library and gave it a listen. Jen Hatmaker woke up in the middle of the night in July 2020. Her husband was in bed next to her, declaring into his phone that he loved another woman. At this point, they had five children and had been married for twenty-six […]
