Catching up with my September recap. I read less than August due to a really busy work month with less captured reading time on flights but still managed to complete 11 books + 2 Vonnegut stories & 2.5 chapters of Women Who Run With the Wolves.

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #SheSaid #MonthlyNonFiction #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 (3) & AuthorAMonth & ongoing read #WildWomenReading

MallenNC I‘m going to try to keep up this month! I‘ve been thinking about what she says in chapter 1 about the tendency online to say people opposite of our beliefs are aging faster because they are hateful inside. (Paraphrasing) and how that makes us see aging as a sign of failure. That‘s interesting to me 9h

vlwelser I do think this is interesting @MallenNC it's like they couldn't come up with a more creative insult. Joke's on them though because it happens to everyone. Angry people are often accused of being ugly. I like the Twits quotes even if Dahl was a crazy bigot himself. 8h

The Woman They Could Not Silence: The Timeless Story of One Woman's Journey to Be Heard | Kate Moore

pick

“Ahead of her time, she challenged a patriarchal system & a doctor-dominated world, compelling both to be better & fairer. She did it all alone, bolstered only by her belief that she was right, in a world that continually told her she was wrong. She fought every day of her life to make things better, dedicating her life to others, wanting justice for all.” Finally finished this #shesaid selection. So good, nonfiction that doesn‘t read like NF.

ncsufoxes The obstacles Elizabeth faced back then are some of the same that women face today. The stigmas of mental health & women being lessened are still all very prevalent today, sadly. Elizabeth was an inspiring woman that fought the system even when the odds were insurmountable. It‘s amazing what she accomplished at a time when society was so against her. #Fthepatriarchy 17h

TheBookHippie It‘s on my list! 16h

ChaoticMissAdventures I really enjoyed this one. I thought the writing and research was well done and the entire book highly readable. She was an amazing woman. 14h

Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution | Cat Bohannon

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction

Finished yesterday for #SheSaid & my third #Roll100 puck for September #23 Any Audiobook, this book was long but fascinating. Evolutionary biology centered around the female body over the past 200 million years. I learned so much listening to the audiobook, read by the author. It took me most of the month (it‘s 16 hours), listening to it mostly in my car but the blend of science & history kept me interested. There ⬇️

DebinHawaii … is a PDF of drawings from the book included in the audiobook & while sometimes science books can be tough for me to fully absorb while driving or just listening, I had no issue with this one. It answered questions I had & some I never thought of so I recommend it if you are interested in science, evolution & the mind & body. #MonthlyNonFiction2025 (edited) 1w

Hello #SheSaid!

I really liked this one, I‘m on the last chapter now, so will finish in an hour or so. How are you all doing? Catching up? Enjoying the anthropological deep biological dive? I like both her research and examples she weaves in, what were your favorite parts or least favorite parts?

vlwelser Still glad I recommended this one. Glad I read it. I had zero clue it was so long until I retrieved it. The author did a great job and I will probably read whatever she does next. 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser me too! I will add her to my…read whatever they write list. 1w

DebinHawaii I‘ve not done a good job with the discussions but I listened slowly over the month & finished the audiobook yesterday & I really enjoyed it! I learned a lot & was kept entertained. Great recommendation @vlwelser 🤗 1w
