Notes on a Silencing: A Memoir | Lacy Crawford

How do you accurately review a book like this? It‘s an important book to have around for the person and to the intended audience. I had a hard time doing this book in long stints.

In Cold Blood | Truman Capote

I'm so excited for my #auldlangspine list from @CSeydel. The only book on the list I've already read is My Friends by Fredrick Backman.

I'm going to prioritize reading In Cold Blood, Tress of the Emerald Sea, We Solve Murders, Mickey7, and The Stardust Grail in January, but there are so many other interesting books on this list that I'll hopefully manage to read at some point!

Thanks @monalyisha for organizing!

monalyisha You‘re welcome! I‘m trying to get my IRL Book Club to choose The Stardust Grail as one of our picks for 2026 but I don‘t think it‘s going to happen. I‘ll be looking forward to your review(s)! 6d

Amiable Oh, “Hellhound on His Trail” is a phenomenal read! 6d

CSeydel Yay, I‘m glad you like the list! I‘ll be interested to hear what you think of Stardust Grail. I was very torn whether to include it … it had some flaws, and it took a while to grow on me, but by the end I was having a good time. You‘ve got a great lineup picked out for January! 5d

Lin3han Love love love Tress!!

Tress of the Emerald Sea

Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and My Father, Warren Jeffs | Rachel Jeffs

so-so

TW: SA. This rating is hard because Rachel Jeffs went through actual hell as Warren Jeffs daughter. But, at moments I was disappointed in her word choice. For example, she mentions “underage sex” a few times, but that makes me think of two minors having consensual sex. The word she should use is rape, and I think she only uses it once when reading charges brought against her father. I also found her voice difficult to listen to so I sped it up.

Bringing Down the Colonel: A Sex Scandal of the Gilded Age, and the "Powerless" Woman Who Took On Washington | Patricia Miller

During early Puritan America until the end of the 18th century, “ bundling”, a custom in which couples were “ bundled” separately in cloths & permitted to spend nights together in bed, parental approval was common. It was thought that this practice would create lasting relationships & ultimately marriage.
I am having so@much fun learning about the sexual mores & practices in 17th, 18th & 19th centuries. #NFNovember #TodayILearned #NFN
