Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

So…Christmas was lovely–we are blessed–and two of my sisters-in-law graciously took my kiddos so my hubby and I could have a mini-staycation for our anniversary; now I’m posting because I want the books I’ve finished in 2022 to count for my Goodreads goal, and that involves reviewing them as part of the ‘marking as read’ process.

First up? Chris Barton’s Can I See Your I.D.?: True Stories of False Identities, which I finished yesterday evening. This was a completely interesting read told in second person–as in, “you wonder this, and then you do this”–which I kind of hated but which might well be the best way to tell these stories to a youth audience. Youth? Opinions? The voice aside, learning about ten people who assumed false identities for a wide variety of reasons was neat in an “I sympathize with some of them and am completely baffled by others” kind of way. If the topic interests you, I’d recommend it–it’s short but fascinating.
