Retail Therapy: My Top 8 Picks
/ 1 min read
I looked over my Amazon purchases for the past 5 years and here are my top 8 favorite purchases I would recommend to a friend (4 are books). Prices reported on this page reflect what I was seeing on Amazon while writing this post (they may be different now).
They Called Us Enemy
"When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated."
Superman Smashes the Klan
"Inspired by the 1940s Superman radio serial 'Clan of the Fiery Cross,' New York Times bestselling author Gene Luen Yang and artist Gurihiru bring us a personal retelling of two different immigrants finding ways to belong."
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
"A poetic celebration of indigenous wisdom, scientific inquiry, and our reciprocal relationship with nature's gifts."
The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn
"In science, if you know what you are doing, you should not be doing it. In engineering, if you do not know what you are doing, you should not be doing it."
Polarized Sunglasses 3 Pack
#1 best seller on Amazon in "Sunglasses". Solid set of shades for the price.
Ringke Google Pixel 9 Case
This case is so good for the price. I strongly recommend looking at Ringke if you need a phone case.
Busy Board Montessori Toy
If you need to buy a toy for a toddler this is a pretty cool one. It's well-made, has a bunch of different switches and lights, and it's pretty entertaining.
EGO Electric Chainsaw
This chainsaw has brought a lot of joy into my life. Let me know if you're looking for a chainsaw and let's chat before you make a purchase (I slightly regret not going bigger).
