September #MonthlyNonfiction2025 reads @julieclair
All three were great reads!

This is a reread for me. I read it back in 2001 and struggled with it. This time I had more things to make connections to that helped with my understanding. I‘m glad I reread it.

A memoir of Conroy's time teaching at a small school on Yamacraw Island in 1969. A desegregation coming-of-age story of sorts for him. It was interesting to see the origins of characters that appeared in his later books.

Very informative

This is the list every year that really excites me—the nonfiction NBA longlist! As usual, this year‘s list is super topical and I‘m delighted to see it‘s very feminist as well. Again, I‘ve read 2, the El Akkad and the Li, both terrific. Run the Song seems the odd one out for me and I‘m most curious about Motherland, which isn‘t out yet.
