Relatable: Read three books and two journal articles, then I might be open-minded about it... 🥴

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir | Michelle Zauner

Pickpick

Michelle‘s mother always had the highest expectations of her and it often caused tension between them but the one thing they always bonded over was food.
When her mom was diagnosed with cancer, it changed Michelle‘s relationship with nearly everybody in her life and with food. When her mom passed, it forced her to find a new path for herself and come to terms with her relationship with her mom.

Read with tissues.

The author's account of how as an adult his Catholicism re-asserted itself and what that meant as the Church hierarchy threw itself into the fight against even secular civil gay marriage in the mid 2000s. ⬇

rwmg In the beginning I thought the author was trying a bit too hard to be witty but once he settled down, this became an interesting and readable account of a tumultuous time. The book dates from 2008 and it does show sometimes with its cultural references to celebs I'd forgotten about if indeed I was ever aware of them. I would read another edition with a retrospective afterword as a properly edited ebook - this one had far too many OCR mistakes. 2d

Rememberings | Sinad O'Connor

I loved listening to Sinéad read her memoir. At times she giggled & it was the most heartwarming thing to hear. Before reading, I knew maybe one song & that her head was shaved. Now I‘m quite sad cos we lost such a beautiful soul & she won‘t be reading more audiobooks. At first I was shocked by how old she sounded, like a grandmother (she was!), & I wasn‘t sure if I could keep listening but 7 minutes in I was hooked. Her life, my god.
