What a gem of a book!

I am personally not a fan of positive affirmations. They‘re just not my thing and I find them overly optimistic. Disappointing affirmations are more up my alley so I ended up loving this book.

Sort of obsessed that RWRB was my first introduction to the notorious George Villiers, and now Nicholas Galitzine (AKA Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor) is playing him in Mary and George! What an incredible series! I delved into the Jacobean era after reading RWRB for the first time, and love this series even more because of it. Thank you Casey McQuiston! #RWRB #CaseyMcquiston #queerhistory #HistoryHuh #nonfiction #LGBTQ

What an insightful look into the world of Barbie!

This book was originally published in the 90s, but this edition has a new preface which does discuss the Barbie movie. In the preface, the author also discusses that she left the book unchanged so it‘s a large reflection of the 90s.

This book was so powerful and so full of information. This #nonfiction read I think will be my favorite for the month. Such a stressful part of WWII #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

The book discusses Pelzer's struggling with his ability to fit in and adapt to the new environment around him as he is put into foster care. It also talks about the kindness of his foster parents and other people around him as well as his inability to brush his mother aside.

This is such a crazy idea! I love nonfiction- especially narrative nonfic; my most memorable entry to reading something “true” for FUN? Let me introduce you to Tracy Kidder. #TLT #ThreeListThursday #NonFiction

1. Tagged book. Inspired me to read all of Kidder‘s books (I haven‘t 🫤) but Mountains Beyond Mountains is another of his extremely inspirational reads.
2. Born a Crime by Trevor Noah - LISTEN 🎧 to this!!!!

Up next for #SheSaid….and somehow it‘s falling at a very good time for reading it, bad time for women in the US.

So put in your library holds, interlibrary loans for this one starting next weekend.

vlwelser I requested this with my other March books and it's been staring at me, all ready to go. 2w

CatLass007 I‘ve got my copy! I wanted to clarify something. Is my understanding correct that you are the host for both #SheSaid and the #Nonfiction 2024 Bingo Board? What source did you use to determine what fiction prompts to use? Is there something resembling a master list of banned books that I can google? I feel like I would enjoy thumbing my nose at the right wing fanatics who try to tell others what they can and cannot read. (edited) 1w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 Yes, both are me. You can just google Banned Books and multiple websites will come up. Many libraries do their own Banned Books Week now, abd you can get details by state on banned & challenged books broken down by year usually & state. The American Library Association also collects a lot of data on the issue and has statistics on their site. 1w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 Here is even a TN specific list for you ⤴️ 1w
CatLass007 Thank you so much! I did some googling yesterday and found the American Library Association. But one specific to Tennessee is great! (edited) 1w

In 2022, German American illustrator Nora Krug interviewed weekly the same two individuals over the course of a year: a Ukrainian journalist who had been born in Russia, and a Russian artist living in St Petersburg who opposed the war in Ukraine. If you want an idea about the psychological effects of war on individuals, as well as daily practical challenges, this is the book to pick up. Eye-opening and tactful. #comics #nonfiction
