Feeling watched as I read this book 👀
Galentine‘s Day gift that includes the Barbie movie and I just happen to be reading tagged book…love when my reads coincide with real life!
pickVicki and her sister are estranged from their parents, living an isolated existence in Canada. Finally, after years of shutting everyone out, EMS arrived on the scene when her mother had a fall. The daughters enter their parents‘ lives again and discover some disturbing stories about what‘s been going on: their mother (difficult, ill)has been controlling their father. The memoir takes place in the fallout: in the hospital, caring for their father.
pickJanuary is the time I use for catching up on missed books over the previous year(s). There are fewer new/shiny books distracting me from my tbr, so I‘m able to plow through it quicker! This memoir has high praise and has been on my radar for years. It‘s about family and identity, coming into one‘s own and the way language plays a part in all of these aspects of life. Quiara narrates her own story to add to the experience.
I‘ve been watching the U.S. Figure Skating Championships this weekend & remembered Rudy Galindo‘s biography. Rudy was the surprise U.S. Men‘s Champion in 1996. His long program was one of the best in U.S. skating history in my opinion. #FigureSkating
Listening to this one today! 🎧 ❤️
Finished this one and felt a little “preachy” to me 🤷🏻♀️

pickWhat a wonderful time. ☺️ While the 'choose your own adventure' format is somewhat modified for the audiobook, I love how it was done, and I would not want to pass up the chance to listen to Neil Patrick Harris narrating the majority of the book. The little missives from friends and acquaintances peppered throughout are in a different narrators voice, but they're almost more hilarious for being read in a deadpan 'straight-man' style 1/?
pickI‘m on a roll with the tough memoirs of horrible lived experiences. This is a topic I had little to no knowledge of prior to reading this book: the oppression of the Uyghur people in China. Izgil, an intellectual, recalls his life under strict rule with lyrical writing, a sharp contrast to what he calls and his family endured. Constantly scared of reprimand, never knowing who may sell them out for owning the wrong book. Unbelievable but real.
pickEve Babitz was a whole vibe and you can feel the way Anolik is drawn to her (first through Eve's writing but ultimately in a desperation to tell Eve's story). There's sex and celebrity here, sure, but there's also a great deal about how we make and live our art.
