so-soI went into this book thinking it might be a more personal deep dive into the hidden abuses revealed in the shiny happy people documentary. It was more about Jill talking about how uncomfortable it was to be on camera all the time, the double standard of how her brother was treated by her father versus how she was treated, and later financial abuse. I‘m glad Jill found her way out of the fundamentalist stranglehold, but I think she‘s still in⬇️
Before this panel I hadn‘t heard of either of these books or of Nnedi at all. I am so glad I got to hear these two vibe on stage! They talked about their writing processes and it was all something that I didn‘t know I needed to hear. First panel of the day and it was an absolute banger! Can‘t wait to read both books! #nationalbookfestival #fiction #scifi #tbr #nnediokorafor #veschwab

pick#CharacterCharm Day 26: #Author - I shared our #CampLitsy25 discussions for the month of July here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-rGS as hosted by @Megabooks
Eight books read in July while still making my way through chunksters Kristin Lavransdatter (#KLBR) and Little Dorrit (#whattheDickens). Stats:
1 book finished for last month‘s #foodandlit #Greenland
3 books for #foodandlit #Peru
1 book for #authoramonth (Virginia Wolff)
2 books for #campLitsy, including the tagged book, best book of the year so far
pickOops! Finished this in July for #camplitsy25! I already had this one on my radar but picked it up because of this. It was very interesting and I did like it. I didn‘t get to participate in the conversation, but I‘m glad I read it. I listened to this on audio and it had different readers for the sections. I liked the mix of different PoVs, interviews and the story within the story.
pickThis book was such a treat to read! The book -within-a-book was well done, and both stories were engaging and meaningful. It probably would have been a 5-star book for me anyway, but that last chapter cemented the rating. My brain was like, "Wait, what?! But...! So...?" I loved that ending!
This month was a lovely reading month! My book for 07/27-07/31 was actually so-so for me, but since it's the only one I finished that week, it's my favorite. The tagged is my favorite for the month, and I've been talking with excitement about it to anyone who will listen since finishing it.
