One day on twitter, I tweeted that I was looking for a book to read. Within a matter of minutes, someone tweeted back that I should check out this one. I had no idea who the person was, nor had I heard of the book. But still, I decided to check it out. Honoring Your Lane is an inspirational book with a sprinkle of biographical elements and self-help. It’s not a terrible book. I don’t harbor any negative feelings towards it. It simply was fine for me.

It’s a typical inspirational book. And yes, it does offer great encouraging words. But again, it’s typical and almost unoriginal. That doesn’t mean it’s a terrible book by any means. It just means that I wish the author added more things to make it stand out and make this book theirs. For me, I was intrigued with how the author set up the book by talking about Birmingham and their complicated relationship with it. I wish that aspect had been woven more into it.

I did enjoy the voice of the book. It felt very personal. And I will admit that I was a little taken when the pandemic was mentioned. It was a brief mention, but this was my first book that I’ve read that had acknowledged the current situation.

Final Thoughts

Honoring Your Lane is a typical inspirational book that is fine and one that struggles to add anything new to the genre.
