Very readable and very informative! But I am probably biased.
Is it too late to change my challenge for year?
Or maybe I just need to be clearer about the previous years‘ challenges that I am applying to this year:
1:1 :: fiction: nonfiction
2:1 :: owned : library
Emphasis on books purchased 2+ years ago
Only purchase nonfiction and rare fiction books
2025 round up:
37 books
Only non-fiction and rare fiction purchased!
Best: Isloa by Allegra Goodman, Factfulness by Hans Rosling,Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver,
2026 goal: keep up with past years challenges || 12 books that have been on my TBR for 2+ years or nonfiction pertaining to my #selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
New day. New book.
Foot is still healing.
Resting my bum foot on a drawer while reading this and drinking coffee.
Experience: 7/10
Book: 8/10
Foot recovery: 2/10
panThere were so many side stories that didn‘t add anything to the big picture.
So much of the conflict was people not talking to each other.
My pile of books to read during toe surgery recovery couch time!
TIL: I have limited patience for stories with conflict that would be resolved if people talked to each other.
pickThis might be my favorite book of the year. Although - not for the title.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The print is so small in this edition. But the content is great.
The writing style (from the 16th century) makes you think about how differently people used books back in the very old days but people were still people.
I have a cold. This book is a good friend to have right now.
I have three books checked out from the library and two books that‘s I‘m started and put aside. - but I‘m going to start reading this one I bought a week ago.

Anyone read this? The library doesn‘t have any copies (!!!) so I‘m thinking of buying it new (!!!!).
Just picked this book up from the library and am going to drop everything to read it right now.
It‘s about Muslim women in India questioning the patriarchy and caste system.
Should I look up all the cultural words I didn‘t know or just assume I‘ll learn from context?
#selfguidedcourseinwomenandgenderstudies
so-soI gave up trying to be perfect a long time ago (I find it to be logically impossible and I‘m very literal like that).
But there are some lessons to be learned from reshma Saujanis story.
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
The books I stressing me out. Not much has changed in 20+ years!
The pile is a metaphor for my day.
pickThis book built me up. It confirmed so many of the inklings I‘ve been having about roads to gender equality.
10/10
#selfguidedcourseinwomenandgenderstudies
An important question.
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
There‘s a lot of talk these days about getting 3.5% of the population involved in a protest. But why? And how?
I‘m trying to learn more about how nonviolent resistant world and (why) 😉
pickVery good. Very good.
My enjoyment of the book ebbed and flowed. But ended on a high note.
bailed125 pages in I remember that I didn‘t really like Huck Finn. So I probably wasn‘t going to start enjoying a retelling of it either.
Also had to get a tire changed which was a real bummer on a Sunday.
pickYezierska‘s stories are exactly what I feel as an American Jew. Reconciling inherited traditions and modern life. Things aren‘t bad or good, merely different. The best road through life is live and let live while honoring your own history and family.
Through her stories I feel more connected with my culture and my immigrant ancestors.
pickYes I did stay up too late finishing this book.
Unsheltered is my first of Kingsolver‘s books. But it won‘t be the last!
What should I read of hers next?
Unsheltered called to me more than the sentence. It was a more ragged copy which felt better for a beach trip. I don‘t have to feel bad about it getting wet and sandy.
Which one do I bring on vacation?
pickHard not to give this book a “pick”. It‘s not high literature by any stretch. But it‘s imaginative and consistent with the original three books in the series. It was a nice easy read.
Actual, physically by my bed TBR.
I‘m in the middle of three of them. (Why civil resistance works, sunrise of the reaping and language city.)
I am about 8 books behind where I should be in my 50 books in ‘25 goal.
Suggestions for quick books welcome! Especially if they can be part of my #selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse!
I was planning on #bailing at page 212 it‘s been a slog and I know that‘s the point and yet… I‘m not sure I can abandon the characters.
Does this happen to you? What do you do?
“The prioress remarked that it was not till christian times that simplicity became a virtue; the good characters of the Old Testament were ingenious as well as virtuous.”
Pg 115
Really overly excited about this massive #bookhaul from a used bookstore in Philly.
Yes, all of this fiction counts as rare as per my 2025 reading challenge. 😬😬😳😳🤪🤪
Can someone explain how litfluence is calculated?
pickGreat, wonderful book. Full of snippets of Arendt‘s philosophy and theory.
❤️❤️❤️
My last book was a s l o w read. Hoping this one is a quickie.
I‘m having difficulty articulating to friends the difference because library curation and banning books.
How do you guys explain the difference?
Thanks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa for the inspo.

No computer. No internet. Guess I‘ll just have to read.
Not quite #selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse but seems like a good time to learn more about thought biases.
Library says, “Hurry up! Read faster!”
Blurgh.
Paused on buying this book so I could look into its bit more.
What do you think?
pickBought this for the bookworms. I‘m tempted to read it to them. But I‘ll probably just cry the whole time. 😢🥺
