Crazy is my Superpower by AJ Mendez Brooks

This read was so interesting. I never knew that AJ struggled with mental illness. She found a way to cope with her challenges through wrestling. This read isn't always serious. There were moments were AJ wrote with humor. There wasn't a lot of WWE moments either. My husband, who is a WWE fan felt a little japed with this book. He wanted AJ to talk more about her wrestling career. This read was solely based on how she conquered her life and made something of herself. AJ is leading a life of being a great role model for young woman. She gives them hope. I received this read from www.bloggingorbooks.com

Writing My Wrongs by Shaka Senghor

         Shaka's childhood was far from safe and happy. He experienced things that no child should witness or feel. As growing up he led a life of mischief and illegal activities. He became a drug dealer and a murderer. He ended up in prison which led him to change his ways of life and how he felt about himself, others, and the world.

          This read really put some insight on life inside of a prison. It also shows us how a bad childhood can mold someone into criminal activity due to their anger and wanting control of their lives. However, one must remember your parents can help mold you, but you are the one that makes the choices to live in their footsteps or become your own footsteps.
