pickOne word review: inspiring.
Born in Nepal, Gurung experienced trauma w/his dad, bullying, &sexual assault. But he had the love &acceptance of his mom & a determination &courage that allowed him to stay true to himself.
He went to NYC to pursue his dream of being a fashion designer, facing challenges by being a POC in a predominately white field. His grit &authenticity was so inspiring & moving. I celebrated each dream achieved w/ him.

This might be the kind of book that you have to be in the right mood for, but if you want the vibes of a comforting quest told by the glow of the fire with cups of warm tea while surrounded by friends, this hits the mark!
Exchanged one of my previous #BOTM books for this one at a LFL! 🥰
Hi all!
As I told @AardvarkBookClub - while I would 🩷 to receive 6 #aardvark books in a month, this month it was bc I rec‘d 2 of my July box! In their graciousness Aardvark told me to share!
So - if you would like *the whole box,* comment below - 1st come, 1st served. 🩷Aardvark
In other news, for my last #bookofthemonth #botm month, I picked this audio. Why cancelling? Let‘s say their customer svc (even for bffs) leaves much to be desired.
so-soParts of this were similar to books I‘ve read before, and other parts were fun and twisty. I liked how this book had sort of a mise en abyme technique as Grady was an author himself (see spoiler below).

I considered skipping #BOTM again, but I liked the add-on, so I figured why not since I did skip #aardvarkbookclub this month.
I think I‘m just annoyed that I‘m going to have to spend full price for the Sager and Ware books because the library holds are going to take months to come in. 😣
