The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

Title: The Giver of Stars

Author: Jojo Moyes

Genre: Historical Fiction

This book is inspired by an actual group of women who in 1935 signed up to become the first librarians of Roosevelt's Pack Horse Library Project in the rural hills of eastern Kentucky. As you quickly learn, this was no easy job and it was absolutely fascinating to learn of these brave, strong, gutsy women and their back-breaking, often perilous attempts to deliver books & magazines to the isolated, impoverished, and often illiterate men, women and children in the remote hills of the Appalachian mountains. Everything that makes a great book is included in this compelling story: friendship, hardship, romance, adventure and purpose. The author has a wonderful ability to create believable characters that you come to know, love and/or loathe. I thoroughly enjoyed this very readable book and give it my highest recommendation!

I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee

Title: I'll Be the One

Author: Lyla Lee

Genre: Contemporary Young Adult

Skye Shin is the total package: she can sing and dance amazingly. Only thing is, she's fatter than your typical K-Pop star, so when she decides to audition for an internationally broadcast competition, she knows it's going to be harder for her than most. Not only are the other competitors picture perfect, but they include gorgeous social media stars Henry Cho and his ex-girlfriend. While Skye's dad is totally on board, she is also coping with a less-than supportive mom at home who would rather Skye diet than dance. Can Skye achieve her dreams? Can she do it without losing herself in the process?

I liked this book because Skye knows who she is, and more importantly likes who she is, despite outside pressures to change. It's nice to have a protagonist that you can wholeheartedly cheer for.
