My goodness, I had such a whirlwind week with family in town—so dizzying that I forgot to post my heartfelt thanks to the beautiful and brilliant Subashini when this arrived in the mail! I‘m so honored by this gift, Suba. You just, like, really get me, ya know? Thank you so much, my friend!

Centique @batsy is the best isn‘t she? Beautiful gift! @ReadingEnvy this book sounds so interesting and reminds me of our conversation (about mothers in literature) after you read that difficult book! I have to read this for sure. 7y

RohitSawant How wonderful! 7y

batsy Ooh, I'm so glad it arrived! I haven't read it so I hope it's not a letdown. But it did seem like it would be just the kind of thing for you... 💕 7y

Mothers: An Essay on Love and Cruelty | Jacqueline Rose

so-so

Don't quite know what to make of this. Wasn't what I was expecting, didn't agree with some of it and it just went so far off point sometimes. I found some things quite disturbing in their presumptions. An entire chapter on someones fictional works on motherhood and I wasn't quite sure what point was being made. A lot of words and I don't feel I've come away with much. Hmmm. 2.5🌟

laurieluna Everytime breastfeeding was mentioned it was always in a sexual or incestuous context. How awful. I don't see it that way at all and it was so disheartening to read this in so called feminist literature. 😔 7y

TrishB I disagreed with a lot of those comments. Not all feminist literature puts forward the same views- these are hers and definitely shouldn‘t be seen as representing a whole movement. The chapter on the fictional books was just terrible and didn‘t fit at all!! 7y

laurieluna @TrishB I just felt it was weird. I was expecting an exploration of modern pressures on and representations of mothers and it started out well and ended up somewhere else completely. However I will be looking up some of the texts mentioned within and in the reference list. 7y

laurieluna @TrishB I think the best way to put it is I thought it was about the love and cruelty projected on to mothers, but instead turned into being about the love and cruelty of mothers. 7y

TrishB That‘s a good summary. Same as you - I thought it was going to be about pressures put on us as mums and it wasn‘t! I think some of it was controversial on purpose. (edited) 7y

What you can achieve with some determination! Managed to finish whilst they‘re still at the cinema! Some where between a pick and a so-so- mainly as I didn‘t feel there was a lot of new stuff in it- but also because I like discussions that have suggestions for change and there wasn‘t any suggestions!
Didn‘t agree with everything either- but that‘s fine!.

#selfcaresunday #hopintospring
Apart from the dog, I‘m on my own in the house!!! This hardly ever happens.....son stayed at friends last night, daughter and hubby gone to see that new superhero film!! So my self care is to read as much as I can whilst everyone is out. Wanted to read this one since @miralunasbooknook posted it a few weeks ago! Off I go.

ephemeralwaltz Yay!! Enjoy😘😘 7y

Tanisha_A Have fun! 😀 Are you planning to watch Infinity Wars sometime? 😄 7y

TrishB @Tanisha_A no- they‘re not really my thing! They‘re also one of the daddy/daughter things they have which is a good thing 👍🏻I‘m constantly laughed at for not having a clue that there‘s differences between DC and Marvel....😁 7y

laurieluna Hope you enjoy it! I started this a couple of days ago and have found it uncomfortable reading, mostly for it's honesty, which isn't a bad thing! 7y

TrishB @miralunasbooknook I‘ve just finished- I didn‘t think a lot of it was new- but maybe that‘s just because I‘m old and I‘ve read a lot of feminist literature!! Some good insights and a good summary of where we are in relation to motherhood etc! 7y

vkois88 Sounds perfect! Enjoy the alone time ❤ 7y

laurieluna @TrishB I haven't read much being a non fiction phobe, but I'm slowly getting there. If you have an suggestions for me, I would love some! X 7y

TrishB @miralunasbooknook I think most of the things I would recommend are actually name checked in the book. She has some great references in there. I‘ll let you read and say what bits you‘re interested in before suggesting anything! 7y

laurieluna @TrishB ok 😊 It's top of my list to finish first in May so hoping to have it read by next weekend once I've shifted this months current reads 🙈 x 7y

TrishB @miralunasbooknook no worries 😁 enjoy your reading x 7y

Well that got pre ordered! I'm really getting into non-fiction now, and this sounded too interesting to pass up. #tbrtemptation

Sophoclessweetheart Ooh! Wonderful to hear when others start devouring nonfiction 😍💛 7y

laurieluna @Wanderingwithwords it actually started in December when I read Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking, and has escalated from there! 😄 7y

batsy Just added it on Goodreads earlier today... Sounds amazing. 7y

Kaye NF ...it‘s always good to see others jump on the bandwagon. 7y

laurieluna @batsy I think it was on Goodreads that I saw it so I probably saw your 'wants to read' post! 😄 7y

laurieluna @Kaye books are now my main source of information as I don't read or watch mainstream news. So I'm branching out to non fiction so that I at least know whats happening to some extent. 7y

Kaye Yep. Same. After 11-9-16 , and the repeatedly chaotic news stories, I‘ve gone on News Blackout TIL further notice. Books are safer. 7y

Sophoclessweetheart Oh! Wishful Drinking is such a good book. Made me well up so badly. I recommend The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher if you enjoyed that one xx 7y

laurieluna @Wanderingwithwords it's sat waiting on my kindle 😊 I'm currently reading The Goblins of Bellwater on it and I try to stick to just one at a time. 7y

laurieluna @Kaye April last year for me, same time I got rid of facebook. It's been amaxing for my mental health. 7y

Kaye Yep. I‘ve learned to make my world smaller for the time being. Why spend my time being annoyed ? I like it here. Peace and quiet. No drama, no arguments. @miralunasbooknook 7y
