I inhaled this on audio! I wasn‘t expecting to get it so fast for June‘s #literarycrew but here we are. I loved it. Please note I am a total grudge holder just like Hazel! It‘s a ♋️ 🦀thing. Also my vendetta against rabbits continues. I planted 2 cucumbers in my garden instead of my raised beds and I thought one had succumbed to cooler than usual temps BUT NO, it‘s the goddamn rabbits. This was was so healthy and alive this morning 🤬🤬🤬

Despite having a house to clean and an unending to do list in the garden, I just want to build Lego a bit so I started Sunflowers to take a break from cleaning and gardening and not from this book for #literarycrew

AmyG So pretty! 2d
Suet624 Lego really does it up right. 2d
mcctrish @AmyG @Suet624 I hope they never stop making art sets ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2d

Sunday theatre with Daisy-May, who‘s decided she‘s tired of being upright and would like to sprawl on her awful couch for a few hours, thanks.

(The STORIES I could tell you about this couch! It‘s an atrocity. Those leather couches people leave by the curb as freebies and nobody ever actually picks up because they‘re AWFUL are nicer than this late Victorian piece to which my aunt is hopelessly attached.)

I got an amazing deal on ground pork this morning, so I went to the library to borrow my favourite cookbook and ended up grabbing a couple short story collections off their feature display plus a play by Tomson Highway. #MFMarch

ferskner I just listened to Sorry for the Inconvenience and quite liked it! 4mo
Chelsea.Poole The audio of this was amazing 4mo
Chelsea.Poole @megabooks recommended this, otherwise I would not have discovered it and it's good! 4mo
Chelsea.Poole One of the best I read last year, what an inspiration 4mo
lynneamch 💔💕 4mo
lynneamch Didn't know I'd care, but did! 4mo
lynneamch One with less trauma. 4mo
willaful Being Seen by Elsa Sjunneson, All The Young Men, Good Talk by Mira Jacob, Educated. 4mo
lynneamch A fave group from back in the day. 4mo
Megabooks @deblovestoread already mentioned my all-time favorite, I'll tag it, but also several more. If you are on the storygraph, I am megabucks there too. Go to my all-time stats page, and you will find 500+ memoirs with ratings! 4mo
Megabooks The ones I've listed to here are all the ones I have in the storygraph that I've given 5 stars to. I'll do a sweep to see what others I'd like to add! 4mo
Megabooks His next main girlfriend spilled even more, but this was definitely more thoughtful and reflective 4mo
Megabooks and I'd have to add my favorite Bourdain memoir 4mo
CBee @Megabooks wow Meg 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks! I will say I‘ve hesitated to read anything by Bourdain - I was pretty broken up when he died 😥 But, maybe I can try him now! Going to find you on SG, I might need to try and compile all of these into a spreadsheet or something 😂😂😂 4mo
CBee @Megabooks oh yes, I‘ve read that one! It was excellent @Deblovestoread 4mo
Megabooks Missed this 5 star one, and I think I'll end here. On a great high note. I hope you find some you like! 4mo
CBee @AmyG not really 😂 I just really love a good memoir and got inspired by the one I finished today 4mo
CBee @lil1inblue LOVED the McCurdy and the Smith. I agree anything by Patti Smith is amazing ♥️ 4mo
Megabooks @CBee yes, Bourdain's death was so difficult! Read In the Weeds. Tom was his long-time director, and he does a lot of really good wrestling with his own feelings about Tony's death and Tony's legacy. It's really good! (edited) 4mo
CBee @Megabooks I‘ll try that one! 4mo
CBee @OndinetheSea @Chelsea.Poole @britt_brooke @MemoirsForMe @lynneamch @willaful @ferskner @BookBelle84 thanks for the recs, I‘ll be busy figuring out which ones to read next! ♥️😀 4mo
CBee @Chelsea.Poole finished that one today, it was excellent! 4mo
CBee @britt_brooke loved Lisa Marie‘s memoir, loved Mama Love and Hidden Valley Road was great too! 4mo

MysticFaerie From Here to the Great Unknown... Sociopath and My Beloved Monster are 3 that I would recommend. 4mo

CBee @MysticFaerie loved Lisa Marie‘s book! 4mo
CBee @BookmarkTavern I do love that movie, so very much ♥️♥️ 4mo
BookmarkTavern If you like audiobooks, I can‘t recommend it enough! He narrates it himself! A lot of the cast and crew do little cameos too! 4mo
CBee @BookmarkTavern that sounds amazing! I do better with audio for memoirs for sure. 4mo
CBee @Megabooks LOVED the Grohl book. 4mo
Megabooks Best musician memoir I‘ve read!! 4mo
Megabooks I am megabooks on the storygraph! (Megabucks is my childhood nickname. Megabooks the handle came as an offshoot of that!!) 4mo
ReadingRachael I have really enjoyed reading a number of graphic memoirs over the past couple of years. 4mo
CBee @Megabooks omg I totally thought you misspelled it. Megabucks is so cute 😂 4mo
CBee @ReadingRachael thank you! Graphic novels have gotten me out of many a slump, but I haven‘t read any graphic memoirs yet. Will have to remedy that 😀 4mo

But in 1957, feminism and lesbianism were not necessarily and not frequently understood as being at all connected. That Lorraine made them so was a sign of her holistic approach to exploring her place in the world, and the world itself.
