Considering Talaga's book Seven Fallen Feathers is among my favorites, I'm not sure why it took me so long to read another of hers.

Needed something lighter and requiring less focus while I also read Unreasonable Women. This book fits the bill, as middle grade often does!

Darn it, already crying. I missed the memo that this is a tear-jerker.

Oh gosh, this is hard to put down!

Really fun for readers of this era! A series of essays - brings back many memories but is also teaching me some things I didn't know.

Makes me want to take a return trip to Duluth, Superior, Two Harbors, etc.!

Intro and first chapter really interesting. Second chapter was all about historical apocalyptical beliefs - less interesting.

I think I could read this five times and would continue to learn/retain more each time. Very easy-to-follow writing.

One of two books set in Utah that I'm reading prior to and during a trip. I'll likely not learn too much from this one, but it's the light selection.

I thought this would be a good selection for Juneteenth, and have been meaning to read it for years.

Shame on me. I didn't think I would like her, but had no reason. But I can't stop listening to her narrate her own audio book. What a full and sometimes tragic life. I appreciated the self deprecation early in the book, yet now feel sad about how she feels about herself.

Last memoir was by a celebrity I had never heard of. This time, I've heard of her, but was never a fan of her shows. Unfortunately, I'm learning why she may have fallen into some sexualized roles, and it's sad. So often what seems like a glamorous life has much trauma behind the scenes.

I've never watched One Tree Hill, but do find cults to be fascinating. I'm reading this for the Goodreads "Escapist Reads" bookmark, mostly because it was available through Libby and my other top choices are not.

Reread after loving it when it first came out. As good as I remember.

To colleagues who see this - oops, I started this before we were told to get good sleep last night and tonight!

I like linguistics and the changing of language, but considering I'm not much of a social media user, I'm not sure if this is for me. I'm learning, so that's good, but not sure how far I will read.

95% selected because of the beautiful, intriguing cover.

Laughed out loud numerous times so far. Love the characters!

I never grow tired of this genre, whatever it's called!

This is SO good. Doing partial audio and the narrator is fabulous.
