Recent acquisition for our personal library.

Soft pick, since not all the essays were up my sleeve. But that's okay. Some parts really, really triggered me (TERFs...), some I thought were interesting (Octavia Butler). Sadly, my English wasn't good enough to get her humor, it must've been very delicate, because I totally missed that part of her writing. Chu sure doesn't shy away from speaking clear and sometimes harsh words, which impressed me.

Random book from our home library:
📖 Crediting Poetry: The Nobel Lecture by Seamus Heaney
2013 review: ★★★★★

Next round in my #bookishmonopoly journey! I got Random.org and put all my To Read books in a huge wheel thingy. It chose Authority by Andrea Long Chu which is totally a #blameitonLitsy 😁
I preordered the audiobook and can't wait to get it.

@WildAlaskaBibliophile usually crank the 80s and 90s country hits during road trips, and this weekend we spent Saturday in Homer. A song from this album popped up. This was an early favorite of mine; I grew up with country music from my mom and classic rock from my dad. This was one of the early country-pop crossover hits, but I think it was well-balanced. https://youtu.be/hU0nP9dcI_w
