The Woman in Me | Britney Spears
post image
Pickpick

If 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. 🌹 🌹🌹🌹

Silas agrees to help Eleanor line up a husband at the Monsters Ball. Seduction lessons ensue. I wish there had been more between each lesson to show Eleanor and Silas bonding. The end was too rushed for me, too.

There were some errors throughout that kept taking me out of the moment because I‘d have to read the sentence again a couple of times. As an ex-editor and a writer, I couldn‘t shake it, but that‘s just me.

I read this book a couple of months ago. I‘ve always admired Bethany‘s strength, bravery, and faith.

Angus loves things that sparkle and glitter and gleam. He loves his grandma‘s necklace that she gifts him when she realizes it brings him joy, but when he wears it to school, the reaction of the other kids dims that joy.

An older story with a message still relevant today. Kids should be able to play with whatever toys they wants. Toys shouldn‘t be gendered. Girls can play with skateboards, and boys can play with dolls. A boy who learns how to care for a doll is preparing for being a father. ❤️

A nice follow-up to Prince & Knight. Perhaps not as special, but it still carries the important message that it‘s okay to be different, and that no one should be shunned or harmed for being different.

A lovely story about a child who knew he was a boy, and whose parents accepted that. The three of them, especially Aidan, want to make sure they don‘t make the same mistakes with the new baby. This is a great lesson for siblings & parents about not assuming gender and how you can alter your way of thinking and actions.

KathyWheeler I have only been to one once, and it was an accident. In 1992, I did not know anything about Pride parades. I was in San Francisco for the American Library Association conference and was supposed to meet my sister downtown. It took us forever to cross the street to meet up because of the huge Pride parade! It was fun though. 1y

A great picture book about the Stonewall uprising. It‘s written in the perspective of the building—originally two stable houses—which is unique and I loved.

Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw was my first full read of 2023. The writing is pretty and unique, perfect for Sally and Halloween Town. I‘ve always loved Sally (hence the costume I handmade), and enjoyed this story that featured her as the protagonist. I want to read more stories in her point-of-view.

I was thrilled to discover this is a graphic novel. I chose this book for a reading challenge because of how it‘s been heavily targeted by book bans (and idiots).

I was also pleased to see my nails matched the cover. Milo, my orange tabby who is standing over the book, also matches! 😹

One of my favorite reads this year.

This books is a MASTERPIECE! 🔥 It spans eight generations from the Gold Coast of Africa to America, from the eighteenth century to the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem.

Homegoing should be required reading by EVERYONE, especially Americans and the British. Just sayin.

Hunger: A Tale of Courage | Donna Jo Napoli

About the potato blight in #Ireland that led to crop failure and famine and disease and death. This story is dated from the Autumn of 1946 to the Spring of 1947 and is in the point-of-view of a twelve-year-old girl named Lorraine who lived in County Galway on a farm leased by an English lord. I recommend this story to anyone who doesn‘t know this #history and enjoys #middlegrade #reads.

CaitZ I definitely need to read this. My grandmother and her 7 sisters grew up on a leased farm in County Galway, although by 1946 she was already in Chicago. Thanks for reviewing it. 2y

I read the book when I was a teen but didn‘t remember much of the story, and I‘ve never seen the movie adaptation.

⭐️ Utterly DELIGHTFUL. ⭐️

Fans of Little Women who love remakes and modern takes on this classic story (and who won‘t mind creative liberties) and who also want to see more diversity will enjoy this graphic novel.

Hey #Littens! I haven‘t been here or posted here since 2017! I‘m hopping in to test the waters and see if I should be active again.

Earlier this year I had moved my office out into the living room to make caregiving a little easier while I worked/wrote. Except, I didn‘t have time to write and barely went to my desk all year. Since things have gotten better 🤞 I‘ve decided to move my office back into my bedroom. Here it is.
