Me


Sometimes, I like to talk about different things that are going on in the book world. I even talk about non-bookish things I like on occasion. I also like to talk about books I've loved with the authors who wrote them. I've grouped links to all of these different posts here because they reveal the most about my personality!

TW: drug use, mentions of suicide/self harm, bulimia Overview: While we don't know the protagonist's name, nothing in her inner world is off limits as Moshfegh probes through the life of a grief stricken, isolated young woman in New York City at the end of the year 2000.

Maybe if she can finally, truly rest, she'll be able t

Overview: It's assumed that children of rockstars have their lives made. But that wasn't true for the Riva siblings.

To celebrate how far they've come, they throw an epic summer party every year, and this one is looking to be the biggest yet. Told in alternating timelines between flashbacks to their ch

Hunger by Roxane Gay: A Memoir Review

Overall: 4  TWs: discussion of eating disorders, sexual assault When I was looking through my TBR trying to figure out what to read next, I discovered that Hunger  was available on audiobook from my library and immediately dove in without reading any kind of summary. It was a book I needed to read for a project, and all I really knew was that this book had been a big deal when it had first come out. I was re-reminded of it as Roxane Gay announced she was pulling her podcast from Spotify as not to share airspace with Joe Rogan. Over the years, I've seen Tweets or heard random podcast episodes with Gay, so I was curious to finally read her writing.  This book is quite heavy and does not hold back when it comes to a multitude of potentially harmful or triggering topics, so proceed with caution. Still, that's
