📚Fifty-First Book Finished On October 16th, 2025📚

✨This memoir written by an actor (by the name of Lukas Gage) wasn't why I got it. It was because he has BDP (Borderline Personality Disorder) which is what I have & reading a memoir about that by a male who went through it...SOLD. READ IT✨

🇺🇸A book EVERYONE should read. As someone who experienced the horrors of 9/11 up close, I had zero knowledge of the Maritime Evacuation that took place.

For my forty-fourth book, this was definitely eye-opening and great read.

SO, please read it. Its worth it🇺🇸

✨Yet ANOTHER memoir but by the BFF/partner of the late Kate Spade. She talked about her history w/the late designer WITHOUT exploiting her death & to me, thats moving. In this day & age of that being the normal, she didn't. Definitely give it a read✨
