Book club participants dove into three books: I Did a New Thing: 30 Days to Living Free by Tabitha Brown, This Could Be Us: Book 2 of the Skyland series by Kennedy Ryan, and Not Everyone is Going to Like You: Thoughts from a Former People Pleaser by Rinny Perkins.

My younger sister and I are reading books together this year. Our first book was Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD. Our second book was We Are Not Like Them by Christine Pride and Jo Piazza.

The book We Are Not Like Them centers around the friendship of Leroya “Riley” Wilson and Jenny “Jen” Murphy who affectionately call each other Puff (Riley) and Pony (Jen). Riley, a Black woman, is a reporter, and Jen, a white woman, is pregnant and married to a cop.
