Double Bind: Women on Ambition | 
Finishing up my day reading one more chapter in this. I will be 74 pages into it. I just finished The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher. For a total of 15 hours reading! Not a win but not a total loss either.

This one calls for some scribbling in the margins!
pickA solid essay collection on ambition, particularly revealing for how uncomfortable this word made most of the authors. There is a block of essays about child/career decisions that didn't resonate with me as a woman who is childless by choice, but many others did. Roxane Gay's essay is a standout (of course), as are several others.
"Ambition's greatest reward is to do the thing you love most, and do it, at least momentarily, well enough to satisfy yourself." - Pam Houston
Starting a new job has left little time and energy to read anything. So this collection of what ambition means to various women on the inside cover is exciting and oddly satisfying.
Kudos to all those who are banning book buying! I have tried to cut back but just fell off the wagon hard with this #bookmail today. 😬 Many of these are #blameitonLitsy!
Possibly one of my favorite sentences. Or first half of a sentence, technically. This books is wonderful too.
Very exciting new book day!! I am extra ready for this after shitty executive team comments re women in management at our staff conference Friday.
Guys. I want to write about this book so badly. I'm going to try to cover it for big pubs but if you have any suggestions or want to solicit a review let me know!
