It’s Not Common Cent$: A 30-Day Personal Finance Crash Course for College Students and Young Adults

reviews March 22, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

As a millennial – and every generation after – it’s near impossible to have a straight talk about our finances. We didn’t get much training in it, and on top of that, we’ve been hit by one life-changing event after another. It feels like they’re happening every day. So what are we to do? Amin […]

Happy Lunar New Year one and all. May the Year of the Tiger bless you and your family this year. In celebration of this event, I’m sharing a review of the books Unbound Feet: A Social History of Chinese Women in San Francisco by Judy Yung and A Larger Memory: A History of Our Diversity […]

Lady Be Good: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale

reviews January 24, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

I thought the book was well-written, but I wasn’t on board with the pace of how things happened. I get that this was a fictional telling of a real woman’s life, and it’s presented as so from the beginning. However, it was hard for me to keep the details straight. I couldn’t quite place where […]

Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss: Leadership in the Era of Corporate Social Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

reviews January 11, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

Although I haven’t read Harris’ previous book, The Servant Leader’s Manifesto (affiliate link), I would consider Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss a spiritual sequel. His corporate background informs his argument about where corporate interests can grow in a way that serves their employees and their stakeholders, and ultimately, themselves. As they say, write […]

A House of My Own by Sandra Cisneros

reviews January 4, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

I timed my reading of “A House of My Own” (paid link) by Sandra Cisneros so that I would finish it before I saw her speak via Zoom at the 2021 Las Vegas Book Festival for their NEA Big Read presentation. I ended up scoring a signed copy of “A House on Mango Street.” It’s […]

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

reviews January 4, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

The novel was published in 1920 about 1870s New York society. It’s fascinating how one look, one casual phrase, could destroy a person’s entire reputation. I think that’s still true, but we can start over somewhere else and bounce back for the most part. If someone is ruined (the Beauforts, more so Regina than Julius, […]

Remember Me by Mary Higgins Clark

reviews January 4, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 1 Comment

Back when I was a wee little Gilly, my Ma got roped into a subscription for Reader’s Digest Condensed Books. This novel appeared in vol. 217 in 1995, when I was 12. I didn’t have the luxury of going to the library often as a child. It truly was a treat, because it wasn’t a […]

Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury

reviews January 4, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

I have decided to elevate Ray Bradbury as the grandfather of my literary aesthetic: cinematic absurdist. I found an essay (an interview, really) in this book where he states “all my stories are cinematic. … I may be the most cinematic novelist in the country today. All of my short stories can be shot right […]

You Suck: A Love Story by Christopher Moore

reviews January 4, 2022January 13, 2023 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

A Dirty Job (paid link) was my first Moore novel because I bought the e-book on sale. That novel inspired one of the short stories in my thesis, Electric Angels. It taught me that even if there are rules and your characters are the only ones who know how it works, it all works together. […]
