In the Country We Love: My Family Divided | Diane Guerrero

Finished this one last night on audio. Amazing story. This book is not only a true American immigrant story for the 21st century but also a coming of age memoir, a raw look at trauma and depression in America. I literally cannot give it enough stars. This is one of the most real memoirs I think I've ever read and I loved it. Also my latest nonfiction! #giveawayrealtalk

Dataclysm really made me think: What do our online identities say about us?

The Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help | Amanda Palmer

pick

Most recent nonfiction I read was The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer. I adored this book. Incredibly well written, Palmer is a fascinating person from her first career as a street performer, her band the Dresden Dolls, to her marriage to Neil Gaiman. She is unapologetically herself and that is part of the reason this book meant so much to me. #GIVEAWAYREALTALK @Liberty

You Play the Girl: On Playboy Bunnies, Stepford Wives, Train Wrecks, & Other Mixed Messages | Carina Chocano

so-so

After hearing about this essay collection on All the Books! I knew I had to check it out. The intersection of pop culture and feminism is one of my sweet spots. But I found this collection to be too self-serious for my taste. I prefer my feminist essays more in the earnest, down-to-earth, hilarious Lindy West/Caitlin Moran vein. But it was a worthwhile if not entirely enjoyable read, with lots of good food for thought. #GIVEAWAYREALTALK @Liberty

Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography | Neil Patrick Harris

#giveawayrealtalk @Liberty doing this made me realize it‘s been a minute since I picked up a nonfiction book! I listened to this, which was a weird format, but I am a sucker for a memoir or autobiography read by the author.
