Rewatching #TheHandmaidsTale and realizing it’s basically like eating chips. I can’t have just one, I have to keep watching until I physically can’t of absolutely need to stop. That’s how good it is.

A truly gorgeous story of becoming one's true self, Stein brings readers along on her journey of self-discovery and expression.

So grateful to #AbbyChavaStein for sharing her story.

That's a wrap for April's #MCBC pick, #WacoRising.

This was a pretty quick read for me, as the writing flowed well and the story was engrossing.

Must say I did read the part about "Pastor Pace" with squinty eyes though. Yikes.

I mean, truly who better to learn from when trying to survive and fight Facism than cats?

Thank you, @brittlestar.com for this treasure 🐈

Just wrapped up this month's #MorbidlyCuriousBookClub pick, #GoryDetails.

A delightful dive into the "dark side of science", this is worth a read if you're interested in the oddities, morbid curiosities, and lesser known and discussed phenomena of our universe.

This is one of those books that altered my brain chemistry.

Diving into the decades leading up to the Challenger disaster then covering its aftermath in clear yet respectful detail, Higginbotham gives an amazingly detailed account of a quite complex topic.

True to style, Higginbotham writing style is accessible and informative, drawing on extensive research.

Midnight in Chernobyl was one of those brain chemistry-altering reads for me, so Challenger was a natural choice.

Oh. This one is definitely on my list.
At long last, I’m thrilled to announce that my new book, WITHOUT CONSENT: A Landmark Case and the Decades-Long Struggle To Make Spousal Rape a Crime, will be published on November 11, 2025 and is available for pre-order wherever books are sold! www.sarahweinman.com/book/without...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

As someone who has been fascinated by this story as it’s broken and progressed, reading the story of someone who lived it was refreshing and felt like a glimpse that could provide the only true understanding of what actually happened.

I know you're not supposed to judge books by covers, but if your cover includes a cat I'm about 15% more likely to give it a shot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 4 stars

As a massive fan of the movie (it was filmed about 20 minutes from my hometown) I was excited to read this (30 years later, but who’s counting?...)

This was a quick and well-written read. Kaysen set the scene perfectly, giving solid background and explanation throughout.

First finish of February!

Cinema Love was one of the February Modern Romance picks for my local book club and it did not disappoint.

#January2025ReadingRoundup

Never in a million years did I think I'd finish six digital/print books and three audiobooks in one month. I enjoy reading, but have always struggled to finish books and find reads that really grab me. So to be nearly halfway through my yearly goal in one month is crazy.
