Chasing_Pages @4thhouseontheleft That‘s ok, I knew going into it that I might not do all 6 every season but I‘m going to try to for the next one! I had a lot of others to get through the past couple months so I‘m surprised I got that close. Hopefully I do better this next round. 7y

You'll Grow Out of It | Jessi Klein

pick

Finished this last week. These were essays about the author‘s life. It was a fun read for my commute but not much more than that. I thought it would be funnier. She talks a lot about being a woman and growing up as a tomboy so I‘m going to use it for #booked2018 #bodypositivememoir

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage, alisiakae

Cinfhen Nice progress for #booked2018 ❣️😉 7y

ElishaLovesBooks @Cinfhen Thanks! Working on the #cozymystery and then I‘ll be done with this season! 😊 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I think a couple of folks have picked this one for that prompt. Good job! 🙌🏻 7y

ElishaLovesBooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks! 7y

This Is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare | Gabourey Sidibe

pick

Finished this today for #booked2018 #bodypositivememoir
I loved this book. It was entertaining throughout, but completely open and honest. Gabourey doesn't pull any punches about her struggles through life but brings humor into all of it. Definitely recommend this book.
@BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft

Cinfhen I'm glad u enjoyed! She seems like an honest and real person 💗another prompt completed!!! 7y

Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman | Lindy West

#FierceFeb #ReadingResolutions Three #memoirs/ personal essay collections from three witty, strong & outspoken #RebelGirl(s) 👊🏼Amy Schumer was my favorite of the bunch...all three books were ok, nothing life affirming but made for an entertaining & interesting read💟☮️☯️ all three will work for #bodypositivememoir #Booked2018

batsy, Jess7

batsy Very cool 👍🏽 7y

JennAndrew I got ‘Not That Kind of Girl‘ from the library and returned it unread. I go back and forth on how I feel about Lena Dunham. Do you think it‘s worth a read? 7y

Cinfhen Not really, it was a library read for me too @JennAndrew she‘s not very endearing and her book came across as trying a bit too much to seem relevant 7y

readordierachel Lindy West is one of my favorites 💕 7y

Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body | Roxane Gay

Borrowed a new audiobook and it fits the #bodypositivememoir for #booked2018

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage, alisiakae

Librariana Roxane Gay is such an intelligent, fiercely eloquent writer. I love reading/listening to her perspective 💜 7y

Cinfhen This book was truly powerful for me...I loved it for what it taught me about myself. 7y

Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman | Lindy West

pick

So.....rough start, strong midway, meh ending...I guess this is somewhere between a pick & so-so. Lindy West is cool and goofy and opinionated and that‘s all fine by me...at times I felt she was being redundant & overly obtuse but overall I appreciated her message”F@$k You, I‘m fat if you don‘t like it, go F@$k off!!!” She did provide some insightful commentary and a few chuckles too. Not bad for a Kindle deal...#Booked2018 #BodyPositiveMemoir

BarbaraTheBibliophage, AmyG, alisiakae

BarbaraTheBibliophage Good pick and I 💯 agree with your review. 🙌🏻 7y

AmyG Thanks for the review. 👍🏻 (edited) 7y

TrishB Great review 👍🏻 I don‘t think I‘m bothering! 7y

emilyhaldi Meh 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

Mdargusch Ok. I don‘t need to read this then. 7y
