Wild and Precious Life: A Memoir | Joshua Lyon, Edie Windsor

pick

Spent my day off home sick, again. But I used the time to finish this book! Intended to be a coauthored memoir, Edie Windsor died before completion, leaving Joshua Lyon to figure out how to finish when her voice was so specific. His solution: to wrap up chapters in his own voice & with interviews with those who knew her. An interesting way of giving context to a fascinating woman‘s life.

akaGingerK Windsor is famous as the widow whose court case opened the doors to marriage equality- but the stories of her wild-but-discreet youth and her relationship with Thea are by far the most engaging parts of the book. 4y

Dear Mrs Bird | AJ Pearce

My first #NetGalley #ARC read!

Described as “[a]n irresistible debut set in London during World War II about an adventurous young woman who becomes a secret advice columnist— a warm, funny, and enormously moving story for fans of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and Lilac Girls.”

Super excited about this one!
