The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too. (edited) 9h
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 9h

I read about half of this before deciding to ditch—more of a focus on potential romantic tension than actually telling the story.

The Girl Sleuth | Bobbie Ann Mason

Pickpick

It's interesting that the Melanie Rehak book (which is great!) has almost the same title and is the same color as the original, 1975 edition of this Bobbie Ann Mason book. Mason's book covers lots of sleuths, not just Nancy, and has Mason's personal commentary. I love Bobbie Ann Mason and her thoughts on the Bobbseys, Cherry Ames, Trixie Belden, and others were entertaining. I think I'd like to try a Judy Bolton, but probably not a Vicki Barr.

Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

None of the books that I read wholly within March were noteworthy, so the tagged book is one of the favorites I finished in March. I need to get a copy so I have a reference of artists that I want to treasure hunt in museums.

I did also greatly enjoy Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

Well, March whizzed by!
🌸 Did you read this month's #buddyread
🌸 Did you like the author's style?
🌸 Were there any particular women that stood out for you?
🌸 Did it give you more of an insight into VW?

The awakening and selected short stories | Marilynne Robinson, Kate Chopin

Started this morning!

First impression: A Southern "society woman" seemingly content on the outside is perhaps dying inside. The world around her seems all proper, straight, satisfying & cold, but something iconoclastic & real is burning inside of Mrs. Edna Pontellier.

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 3d

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! The tags even posted without issues today! I need to post late more often 🤣 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 3d
DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 3d
vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 3d
AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 3d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 2d
staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 1d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads there was a great footnote about Harris too, from the primaries…which was very relevant now too. 9h
