#AuthorAMonth I‘m learning a great deal from Roxane Gay. But I‘m not planning to finish this book this month. There‘s too much to take in and I don‘t want to miss a thing.
This quote resonated deeply with me while I was doing my bachelor's. I found reading classics a bit overwhelming, but somehow, I managed to finish them. This quote is very close to my heart. ❤️
pickToday's quick read. It's a modified version of the authors TEDTalk from 2012. Excellent message and it gives us a look at how feminism looks in another country.
pickSomehow, O'Meara is able to condense a global history of alcohol into an easy-to-read book infused with plenty of her own personality. She highlights some amazing women and tells some mind-boggling stories. She also avoids the woe-is-woman tone by focusing on the empowering nature of the histories.

pickThis was a powerful read and such an interesting and important pov, but hearing how Gay kept punishing herself for her own childhood trauma was oh, so sad. @Read4life #weeklyfavorites25 @Soubhiville #AuthorAMonth
It's been a hard week all around and I think I need some happy fluffy reads next for my own mental resilience haha. Suggestions?
pickI had no idea until I had this in my hot little hands that it was short stories. I always assumed it was essays. Side note that the ebook has additional stories in it that do not appear in the original print version. I love this author. This didn't disappoint.

It is ironic that I would come across this passage in my book today.
Trans history will not be erased. This isn't the 1800s; you can't just burn a document and pretend it never existed. Trump's administration cannot delete history and it will not define our culture. #ThisIsNotAmerica
