MJ is starting An Unkindness of Ghosts

3.5, rounded up. There were a lot of elements I really liked about this book, but the overall storytelling, especially the ending, felt lacking

MJ is starting The Accidental Pinup (Buxom Boudoir #1)

“Cassie had yet to go there yet.”

This is an actual sentence in an actually published book.

I also want to know if anyone in this book has heard of a novel development known as a “contract.”

Example of telling, not showing. So far, anyway.

MJ is on page 78 of 257 of The Te of Piglet

I thought this was going to be charming, but it is not. The author is a crotchety old white dude who just came out of nowhere with an anti-feminist screed.

MJ is on page 63 of 197 of Braving the Wilderness

Reading this suspiciously, because if he conclusion is “be nice to fascists” I’m going to be unhappy

MJ is starting Getting Away with Murder: The True Story of the Emmett Till Case

“Southern racism won a battle in the Emmitt Till case, but that was one of its last victories against segregation and racial equality”

THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT READ BOOKS ABOUT RACISM THAU ARE WRITTEN BY WHITE PEOPLE

MJ is starting Getting Away with Murder: The True Story of the Emmett Till Case

Listening to the audiobook. There’s a reason I do not typically read white authors on Black issues.

This is...not very good.

MJ is starting Unfinished Business: Women, Men, Work, Family

I’m getting annoyed at the author’s seemingly obtuse refusal to confront the central role of sexism in the problem she describes.

MJ is 55% done with In the Midst of Winter

I want to really like Isabel Allende, but there is just something that is not exactly my cup of tea.

MJ is on page 94 of 412 of The Devil in Silver

Having some trouble suspending disbelief. If Pepper signed a consent form, he's there voluntarily and can leave any time.

Ugh. I hate oversights/mistakes like that.
