Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice | Virginia Roberts Giuffre

Current audiobook…This is horrifying, but such an important read.

#SheSaid

KLyn1 Horrifying and sad all at the same time, but so good, and so relevant. 18h

Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice | Virginia Roberts Giuffre

repost for @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Up next for #SheSaid!

Get your books ready & steel your nerves. I'm so tired of victims telling us what is going on & being ignored while those of power or celebrity can do whatever they want with little or no consequences. Our society is deeply broken, but the only way to make a better one is to learn all the tough bits & make a better future with better laws & guardrails, and we cannot fix what we don't know.

Erinreadsthebooks “We cannot fix what we don‘t know.” 🎯 Absolutely! This book should be required reading. 2d

Up next for #SheSaid!

Get your books ready & steel your nerves. I am so tired of victims telling us again & again what is going on & being ignored while those of power or celebrity can just do whatever they want with little or no consequences. Our society is deeply broken, but the only way to make a better one is to learn all the tough bits & make a better future with better laws & guardrails, and we cannot fix what we do not know or understand.

DGRachel I bought the hardcover and audiobook but I will not be able to read it. 3d

Bookwormjillk I just got my library copy 3d

Julsmarshall I just finished this (became available earlier than expected). I look forward to the discussion though the topic is tough. 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DGRachel to tough a subject or just real life commitments? 3d

DGRachel @Riveted_Reader_Melissa The subject matter. I know what I experienced is nowhere near what Virginia and the other Epstein victims suffered, but as a CSA survivor I don‘t think I can bear to hear the details of what she and others went through. (edited) 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DGRachel ok, do you want me to pull you off the tag list this month so it does not pop up in your notifications? 2d

DGRachel No need for you to do anything, but thank you for asking. ☺️ 2d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DGRachel you are very welcome. I wanted to make sure the tags wouldn‘t bother you as they pop up. 2d

AllDebooks I couldn't agree more. It's so important to bear witness to what these girls suffered and push for justice for them. It's not going to be easy. 2d

Amor4Libros Waiting for my hold for the audiobook to come through from the library! 1d

Fifth Season | N K Jemisin

repost for @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Hello #SheSaid!

I hope this week has been treating you well and that you enjoyed the break/catch-up month. We are back this week with the first section of The Fifth Season! It is a reread for me, but I have to say I still feel as lost in the beginning this time as I did then, even though I know it all makes sense later… how are you making out with this week‘s section?

The Fifth Season | N. K. Jemisin

repost for @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Updated schedule for #SheSaid!

We had 1 book with 5 votes (Wild Swans) and 4 with 4 votes. I added them all to our schedule for 2026 along with our 2 fiction reads. I did bump Wild Swans back to March, so we could read it and the follow-up book by the author after (and hopefully 🤞 when the hold lines at the library are not so long 😬). Then there were about 12 books tied after that…so new vote this summer.
