“Nobody wants to know why Indian women leave or where they go. Our bodies walk across the highway from the dances of our youth into missing narratives without strobe lights or sweet drinks in our small purses, or the talk of leaving. The truth of our leaving or coming into the world is never told.”

pickOne of the most soulful, connecting and real books I've read in a long time
I could feel the author connect with me
Reading this was a much needed wake up call when we tend to lose ourselves in cyclic mundane routines. It's a book I will probably re read again.

I discovered the How To ADHD YouTube channel after my son‘s recent diagnosis. The channel is full of information that is well-researched and presented in a digestible, friendly way. This book felt more geared to adults, as opposed to children, and I am so grateful to have read it.
pickIf you are (or ever were) a Britney fan, was curious about the conservatorship, saw any of her IG posts, I recommend that you read her book. What everyone did to her is heartbreaking. I mean this was Britney-effing-Spears. They never should‘ve had the power that they did. Britney is stronger than any of us could ever imagine. 🌹 🌹🌹🌹

pickI read this for my book club, much read during a 3 hour plane delay at the airport.
There is a lot to unpack in this tale of 1 coming-of-age Mexican-American daughter. Although this is YA there are multiple adult themes, but I most appreciated the illustration of the divide that can happen between immigrants & their first generation American children. Above all I enjoyed the snarky main character navigating a complicated teenage life.

panI‘m not panning this because it‘s bad, I just wasn‘t the intended audience. Sometimes graphic memoirs reach out and touch deeply me even when they‘re wrestling with questions I‘m not, or I‘ve already answered. This one didn‘t. It was more like rambling conversations I‘ve had with friends over the years trying to sort out ourselves and our lives. Which makes the book essential if you don‘t know people actually asking these questions when you are.
pickI don't know how to properly review this. I feel like it requires multiple reads or a slow, contemplative one. Topics include suicide ideation, communication, depression, self-worth, relationships with self and others, creativity and creation. The art is wonderfully varied to convey different ideas. The narration is very meta and very personal, but I think the message is universal, especially post-2020, even if you don't struggle with depression.
So I had to post my psychology books for @catiewithac … but there are so many great reads here and it keeps growing as I have several on my tbr shelf still 🙌🏽📚 hope you can see a few you‘ve read 😊… the pic on the bottom right are all college books from getting my degrees
