This book was a quick read about feminism. I like the many personal stories and how it was more an of essay then a book. Nice little short read! Although it didn‘t really mention anything I didn‘t already know or belive.

Has anyone mentioned that one of the best books is on sale today for Kindle?
pickI‘m tempted to give this a lower rating, but I realize that wouldn‘t be fair. B/C while I hated everything that happened in this book, I think that that was exactly the author‘s intention. I don‘t have a sister, & don‘t know any serial killers (that I‘m aware of), but I related to the narrator, who lives in the shadow of her beautiful, enigmatic, dangerous younger sibling, & their relationship reminded me of many past friendships-minus the murder.
so-soI've only heard praise for this book, which is how it ended up on my tbr but after having read it I felt underwhelmed. It *is* a good read, but mostly I felt that after all was revealed. The story lacks excitement and all I could think was "if I had a sister like that it'd be over" but perhaps that's the point. I grew up with "family is Everything" and we kind of see that here. Still, it was missing something & I found myself (mostly) indifferent
pickRead in 2024. Super short book about the author‘s loss of her father during the pandemic. “Grief is a cruel kind of education.” “It is an act of resistance and refusal: grief telling you it is over and your heart saying it is not: grief trying to shrink your love to the past and your heart saying it is present.”
“It does not matter whether I want to be changed, because I am changed.”
pickWhat a powerful audiobook. On this one, Chimamanda talks about the impact her father‘s passing had on her.
Loved!

#Bookspin #Doublespin January (and my new 2025 tracker that turned all my hair gray trying to make).
I'm trying something new for 2025 #bookspin, pulling from a list of books currently speaking to me for the bookspin drawing, and using buddy reads + planned reads, and leaving room for more mood reads for the #bookspinbingo board. I think a lack of structure may be good for me, I've been treating reading too much like a sport lately!
#bookspin is tagged and #doublespin is The White Lady 🎉
I‘m excited to read some great books from the #auldlangspine list created by @HOTPock3tt ! Thanks to @monalyisha for organizing. I finished 11/22/63 at the very end of the year and LOVED it, and I‘m aiming for Akata Witch, Bride, and These Impossible Things in January! 💗
