I am excited to start reading Normal People after seeing so many positive reviews! Like many others, I am reluctant to dive into hyped books in case they just do not live up to expectations (like Less by Andrew Sean Greer...but that's another post altogether). . Which hyped up book did you end up loving or loathing? . . . #bookblogger #booklife #bookstagrammer #bookish #bookstagram #sallyrooney #normalpeople #fruit #bookblog #booklover #bibliophile #bookworm #books #reading #readingchallenge #readersofig #instareads #igreads #52booksin52weeks
Perhaps almost mandatory reading after spending part of your long weekend prepping, planning, tidying and organising šŸ’ Fed Up is all about the work women in both domestic environments and in the workplace, that sees them take upon the burden of things going to plan and that the needs of others can be met. As time goes on, there is beginning to be a greater portion of this 'emotion work' done by men (due to cultural change - yay feminism - and changes in female labour participation) but there is still a long way to go. . I love that Gemma frames the issue of unequal distribution of emotional labour as both a gender issue and a caregiving issue to encompass that such a burden can result from heternormative perceptions of gender and from uncontested reliance on others.
When old books are new books šŸ“šāœØ also I did just shamelessly do a book photoshoot at a coffeeshop because they had cute tables! . . . #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #bookblog #bookworm #books #book #bookblr #booklr #bibliophile #walden #kombucha #igreads #instareads #reading #goodreads #bookchallenge #readingchallenge
ā„ļø Winter in summer ā˜€ļø This is my current read, though I won't be doing much reading today as I am off to @lanewayfest šŸŽ‰ . Ali Smith's writing is so unique and different and alike to stream of consciousness that I definitely struggled reading Autumn. But after becoming familiar with her style, I've grown to love her work. Her writing style is definitely what comes up in conversation around her work - you either love it or you hate it. So tell me, does Ali Smith's style resonate with you? . . . #bookblogger #book #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bookish #books #reading #readersofig #igreads #instareads #bibliophile #winter #summer #sunflower #plants #alismith #bookblog #booklife #goodreads #readingchallenge #writing
I just finished reading Tweak by @nic_sheff which frustrated me but I loved hearing his experience told in an uncensored manner. For personal reasons I won't be writing a full review on this book. . I think Tweak is the kind of book that should not be reviewed - we should take this book for what it is. Tweak is a raw journey through the constent to and fro of addiction, from using to relapse and back again. Nic is more introspective than you would initially suspect, and you walk away from this book knowing that addicts are more than their addiction - which I know can be difficult for some people to comprehend. Overall, this book is an important read to help communities understand the complexities of addiction and recovery, but it may be triggering for readers who have struggled with addiction in the past or do so currently. . . . #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookish #bookblog #booklover #bookworm #bibliophile #igreads #instareads #plant #record #vinyl #goodreads #bookchallenge #bookfeature #nonfiction #booklr #bookblr #book #books #reading #readingchallenge #livingroomdecor #livingroom
Monday morning coffee and books and @womankindmag ā˜•šŸ“– thank you to @g_bate for kindly lending me Call Me By Their True Names, and to @jessicamckenzie496 for lending me her copy of Womankind šŸ’– . '"You can't be objective, but you can be fair." Objective is a fiction that there is some neutral ground, some political no man's land you can hang out in, you and the mainstream media. Even what you deem worthy to report and whom you quote is a political decision. We tend to treat people on the fringe as ideologues and those in the centre as neutral, as though the decision not to own a car is political and the decision to own one is not, as though to support a war is neutral and to oppose it is not. There is no apolitical, no sidelines, no neutral ground; we're all engaged.' . Rebecca Solnit's collection of essays eloquently verbalise the many ideas shared by the left in the light of US politics in recent years. However, she does not leave criticism of left movements to be addressed by right-wing aggressors. Solnit discusses the the fractured left movement where the intersections of identities and beliefs is ignored for 'greater' mainstream purpose. This collection is a thoughtful handbook for the academic and the activist. Absolutely essential reading. . #bookblogger #bookworm #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookish #womankind #activism #rebeccasolnit #callthembytheirtruenames #essays #bibliophile #igreads #igbooks #instareads #coffee #morningroutine #bookblog #bookblr #booklr #goodreads #bookchallenge
An overcast summer's day is perfect for tea, chocolate and books šŸµšŸ«šŸ“š I went along to @sydneyveganmarket today and picked up a caramel dream bear and a PB&J bar from @treat.dreams (though the PB&J bar was devoured on site šŸ˜) . I am currently reading Maggie O'Farrell's 'I Am, I Am, I Am' and it has been a great so far! It's observant and poetic and real and impeccably written. I picked up this most of this stack from @dymocksbooks summer reads sale after giving into the hype around Less and Normal People. . . . #bookblogger #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #book #books #booklover #bookblog #bibliophile #bookish #ceramics #vegan #sallyrooney #reading #readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofig #igreads #instareads #bookfeaturepage
