I‘m on a memoir kick! This author did an incredible interview on my fave podcast “We Can Do Hard Things” about parenting, self worth, and the impact of physical disability. Can‘t wait to read this!!

Bklover This one sounds good! I love Glennon Doyle!❤️ 5mo

A thoughtful memoir about Jones‘ fascinating life traveling the world while living with a rare condition call sacral agenesis. Affecting her height and her ability to easily walk, she has had to learn to live with it, however dealing with the ways others treat her because of it is also a challenge. Her most powerful points really do delve into the concept of beauty, motherhood and love, something all readers can take something away from.

Intimate scenes from a life of feeling “other” as a result of the negative reactions to her disability classmates, strangers, and even those closest to Cooper Jones heap upon her. Bravely told, and beautifully written, this memoir asks readers to look unflinchingly at the author‘s life experiences, painful though they may be. An eye-opening read for me!

It looks beautiful outside but it‘s chilly as all get out so I‘m reading inside. Picking this one back up again. Maybe it‘ll stick this time.

There‘s so much going on in this one, and I liked it all. The way Cooper Jones wrote about philosophy, identity, embodiment, and disability felt really fresh and taught me lots. The book is dense with insight but never feels weighed down by it, because she keeps things moving with vignettes from her life and little character studies of the people in it. Her writing is outstanding - hope to read some of her feature/travel/sports articles.

Megabooks Great review! 2y
Christine @Megabooks I feel like I could reread this one for sure (maybe in print, with a highlighter to note philosophy texts I‘d like to check out!). 2y

Chloé was born with sacral agenesis. Her hips are dysplastic causing her pain and difficulty walking. This isn‘t an inspirational memoir in the traditional sense. As an English and Philosophy PhD, she examines art and literature as they relate to her experience. She writes about everything from museums and a Beyoncé concert in Milan to covering Federer on the tennis circuit. I loved reading about her son and how sensitive he is. ⬇️

Megabooks ⬆️ As the daughter of a lifelong disabled mom, I understood her son‘s heightened sensitivity. I had never seen it written about the way she did, and found her stories very relatable to the ones I‘ve been told about my childhood. 2y

Megabooks @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen thank you both! 💜 2y
Megabooks @squirrelbrain are you on Instagram? My favorite booksleeve maker has the cutest squirrel pattern coming in her next release. She has a preview of it on Instagram. I‘m thinking of getting it for myself! 2y
squirrelbrain I‘m not Meg, I don‘t do any social media other than Litsy. 🙁 I‘d love to see a pic though if you do decide to get it! 2y
Megabooks @squirrelbrain I understand. Social media (other than litsy) kinda sucks. I will let you know if I get it. I can also drop a link to her Etsy when she releases it tonight. Etsy overseas shipping can get expensive though. 👎🏻👎🏻 2y
squirrelbrain That would be lovely Meg… I can at least have a look! 2y
Megabooks @squirrelbrain well, when I looked more closely when she posted it on Etsy, it‘s more field mouse than squirrel. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1199210646/forest-floor-book-sleeve-with-zipper/ 2y
squirrelbrain You‘re right Meg, not very squirrelly! 🐿😁 2y

“I am in a bar in Brooklyn, listening to two men, my friends, discuss whether my life is worth living.” This is not always an easy read, but it‘s a really lovely memoir about disability, womanhood, motherhood, patriarchy, travel, philosophy and beauty standards that forces us to examine ourselves and our perceptions. I think this‘ll be one of the big memoirs of the year.
