pickEdgar says I am not journaling right now about the best book I've read so far this year. I've read several books (both fiction and nonfiction) by Sarah Moss, and damn, can she write! This was definitely her most vulnerable, and if you choose to read, proceed with caution. It's a hard subject, but she handles in well. She's sharp, intense, and brutally honest even questioning her own unreliability as a narrator of her own story.
so-soKari Ferrell was known as the Hipster Grifter in NYC after articles published gave her this moniker after the discovery of some of her scams around 2009. In her new memoir, she recounts the scams she ran on friends and family, from elementary school in Utah (after being adopted from Soith Korea), through young adulthood in Brooklyn. Terrell‘s scams targeted those closest to her. Though I typically love to read about scams, this missed the mark.

pickThe subtitle and even the description of this one are misleading. I was expecting an exploration of the genders from someone who has experienced living outwardly as both, but this is really more of a straightforward memoir. It‘s lovely for what it is and Boylan comes across as sweet and charming. It‘s good to have trans stories out there, now more than ever.
I popped into the library to return a bunch of stuff and pick up my hold (the tagged book, which I discovered by chance when I searched for something completely different by an author with the same family name), but of course I also found a couple things off the Featured displays. I‘m excited to read more poetry again after I got a bit stuck on a collection last month. #MFMarch
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In a Venn diagram of hilarious southern storytellers, Corren is the intersection of David Sedaris and Leslie Jordan. In this sometimes dark, often humorous memoir, he details pivotal stories from childhood through his hot mess mother‘s death. There‘s a whole cast of siblings with funny nicknames. Thanks for the rec, @Booksnchill - You nailed the Jordan comparison which sold me on picking this up!
