If you know me, you know that I’m a bit of a data nerd. Actually, who am I kidding? A BIG data nerd. So naturally I was absolutely thrilled when I got my hands on an advanced copy of Scott Berinato’s Good Charts.
Let me start off by saying that this book is absolutely stunning. I know that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but because this is a book on data visualization, there needs to be some stellar imagery and examples– and Good Charts did not disappoint. I was so inspired by just looking at all of the different charts and graphs throughout the book!
The content was also phenomenal. Berinato breaks down data visualization down to its basic components, serving as a starting point for beginners and a refresher for old pros. I’m somewhere in the middle, so his tips and tricks for making data appealing through visuals was a bit of both!
4 STARS! I’m not giving this book a full 5/5 stars because I thought it was a bit too drawn out. While I did enjoy the book, I found some of it to be a bit repetitive. This might be helpful for complete beginners, but I wasn’t too captivated in these moments.
Note: I was given an advanced readers copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

In Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris wows readers with a collection of essays about his father, time spent in Paris, and the speech therapy he received as a child. Within the first few pages, I found myself laughing hysterically while simultaneously feeling emotional for young David Sedaris’s experiences– this pretty much followed suit throughout the book.
I was actually crying of laugher during the essay “You Can’t Call the Rooster,” in which Sedaris describes his younger brother who affectionately refers to himself as The Rooster and succumbed to the stereotypical Southern traits his parents tried to shield him from. Have you ever heard of a Fuck-It Bucket? No? Read this essay.
While I adored most of the essays, I felt like some of them were pretty sub-par. 4 STARS!
