Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. ❤ The book is about a Nigerian girl who moves to the US for university. Living all her life in Nigeria, she has never perceived race as a problem, and getting to America, she recognizes herself as black and what race means to the American culture. It is a powerful book. As someone who has immigrated from South America to North America, there were a lot of relatable topics. I have wanted to read immigrant literature for a while, and I feel like I made a great choice to start things up. The only downside is that the book was a little longer than needed. I feel like about 100 pages could be cut out, and the ending was a little rushed. Still, it's a fantastic book! Cheers everybody! View all my reviews

Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a fantastic experience. I am a huge fan of Ocean Vuong's work. The way he works with language and its relation with the body fascinates me every time I get through his writing. Every poem was worth starting over as soon as it was finished. Five stars!
