Was so great to see these amazing authors in person to talk about their books and process. Love a book festival! #texasbookfest
pickI hadn‘t heard of Rabia Chaudry before the #TexasBookFest this year. Some of you likely know her for her true crime podcasting and social justice work.
This is a memoir of growing up in a Pakistani family that moved to the US when she was very young, and her relationships to food, food culture, and her own body image. I thought the audio was excellent and that Rabia very thoroughly explains her personal experience and outlook.
pickI‘m not sure what I was expecting from this. I saw the author speak at #TexasBookFest and added this to my TBR then.
There isn‘t any real action, just many discussions between friends, family, exes, and a cat? About life, relationships, death, and ethics. There are lots of little stories within the story.
It was strange, but I actually enjoyed it. It felt a bit like a long overdue conversation with a friend I hadn‘t seen in years. 🤷♀️
