pickSo I‘m not a big Britney fan, but I enjoy audio memoirs for my commute. I enjoyed hearing her background and her story of her conservatorship. It was insane what her father did to her, and no one should have to endure this level of control from another adult. She seemed very naive for much of her life. I‘m glad she‘s free of that and hope she can rebuild her life in a positive way. Overall a pick for me #freebritney
I really enjoyed this. I used to be really into celebrity gossip in Perez‘s peak. Here in the #freebritney era that‘s not that cool anymore, but picturing Perez working on his laptop at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Nicole Richie coming in to cuss him out brings me joy. He does show some remorse and regret for the bridges he burned. He presents himself as somewhat oblivious to the power he has holding. I don‘t know about that, but it was not boring.
pickI loved it. The twist is that this is more of an examination of our mental health penal system than a straight study of one specific crime. The imprecisions and sometimes injustices that come with how the mentally ill are treated is fascinating (and enraging) to me. (#FreeBritney) This is a good follow up for those that enjoyed Hidden Valley Road, but want a true crime twist. #Screamathon @4thhouseontheleft
pickIn 1934, at the height of eugenics, heiress Ann Cooper Hewitt‘s mother had her sterilized claiming that she was an oversexed imbecile when she was neither. Mom just wanted her inheritance. This book cover‘s Ann‘s life, the trial of the doctors who sterilized her, and also the broader issues of forced and coerced sterilization in the US up through today. The lack of control women still have over whether or when they have children so angers me!
My small haul from the bookshop we went to yesterday; my total was only $25! I scored a fun murdery Victorian novel, a cute YA novel about a girl joining her local quidditch team (how cute!) and a #botm about a pop artist and basically her ride and fall, which seemed super relevant to me with the #freeBritney movement. I‘m about to start This is How We Fly since my heart is broken after The Four Winds 📖
pickI don‘t like the comparisons to Daisy Jones. Daisy is a woman coming into her power through music. Cassidy is a girl seeing herself and her life through distorted funhouse mirrors of tabloids and hanger ons.
The members of Gloss are also better fleshed out characters than The Six. DJ is 3⭐️ CH is 4⭐️, imo.
In real life, Stevie Nicks had a lot more control over her image than Britney. #freebritney It was interesting to read each time novelized.
