Part memoir part manifesto from one of the founders of #timesup actor, filmmaker, and activist Amber Tamblyn. Celebrity memoirs are not really my thing and the manifesto part didn't work for me either.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa This one is on my list to read too, sorry you didn‘t enjoy it more. But great job on your challenge! 5y

I first remembered @amberrosetamblyn from being on General Hospital, @maceyjann recognized her from The Sisterhood of the traveling Pants, but we both appreciate her honest speaking, writing and tireless work as a founder of the #timesup organization. #girlpower #eraofignition #booksofinstagram @penguinrandomhouse I was so excited to hear her speak today!!

This was a hard book to read. It makes me think of all the voices that have been silenced through fear, unjustified shame, and pain—and those who ignore the silence. At the back of the book, there are tips for responding to sexual assault, and number one is “believe the person.” Indeed, more should. #timesup

TheBookHippie The new 20th anniversary is on its way to my house. I give out the graphic novel a lot and the book as well. Necessary read. #survivor #metoo 6y

Oh man this book. I cannot say enough amazing things. Like Fight Club for angry feminists, and especially relevant in this era of #TimesUp and #MeToo. The women in this book don‘t just get angry, they get even.

Beartown: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

This book about a hockey team is so much more. It‘s small town politics and priorities. It‘s both the huge fish and the minnow in a small pond. And it‘s sexual assault.
In this #timesup & #metoo time, there‘s a lot of talk about how women can‘t do this ourselves, we need the voices of good men. The compassion shown in the few compassionate characters, & the characters who stand up for what‘s right makes me think Backman is one of those good men.

AF_AF The rape culture portrayed in the town was scary. I liked the tone in the end, though. Change can happen if people work to change the culture. 7y

@Liberty I found my favorite read of 2018 so far during the readathon.
This slim 26-year-old novel, based on the Chappaquidick incident, feels relevant during today‘s #timesup movement. And Oates does an AMAZING job of putting the reader in Kelly‘s place during this most crucial moment of her life.
Best read in one setting.
Enjoy!

Violence doesn‘t have a race, a class, a religion, or a nationality, but it does have a gender. #truth #timesup
