Janine is 5% done with Son of a Critch: A Childish Newfoundland Memoir
After watching three seasons of Son of a Critch only to pick up the book and find out Patrick actually died when Mike Sr. was a kid was devastating.

what a beginning, dang. your parents are gone, the one woman who cared for you died of the plague almost immediately after you were cruel to her (and she made you porridge while dying of the plague?!?), everyone else is dead, and you have a mysterious illness so you can't walk... god bless brother luke bc otherwise robin would've had a really awful death.

Janine is 45% done with When We Were Arabs: A Jewish Family’s Forgotten History
i am struggling to finish this despite finding it valuable because of some of logical inconsistencies/choices such as: hayoun's decrying of race science a few pages before saying white people's biological predisposition to megalomania is not not-true just not universal or describing the levys as "priestly class in the temples of biblical canaan" as if there never was a kingdom of israel or temples with kohanim?

i’ve never been so emotional over reading about a rabbi with a thorn in his paw

i really wish they were more female characters though.

To Be Devoured

Janine
Janine is 31% done with To Be Devoured
in love with the way that tantlinger can use prose and word choices to really encapsulate both the genre and the prose. the tension between the flowery prose of the protagonist’s inner monologue and the dialogue is fantastic.

Janine is on page 13 of 263 of Tell Me I'm Worthless
“His heart aches. You broke his heart. He’s miserable, and sings about how everything makes him miserable. The meat industry, it makes him miserable.” this vague description if morrissey and the smiths made me internally guffaw

Y’all I didn’t expect to find this at the library today. I am so fucking hyped. Just then opening barber scene had me mesmerized.

Janine is 3% done with Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality
First chapter in and there’s nothing more than a throwaway line about bisexual being used to refer to “hermaphroditic plants and creatures”. No mention of eugenics or race science in 19th c sexology re: bisexuality and “psychic hermaphroditism”. The use of creatures and entire erasure of intersex people… Disappointing. I don’t know if I’ll like this work.
