OutsmartYourShelf
The Woman in Me | Britney Spears
post image
Mehso-so

The autobiography from one of the most successful female artists of the twenty-first century. I have to say that I was never a big Britney fan, I liked some of her songs & I also vaguely knew that there was some beef between her & Justin Timberlake at one point, but that was about the extent of it.

Reading this, Britney has obviously gone through some terrible experiences at the hands of those who should have loved & protected her, (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf but the book itself is not good reading. I think she could have gone into the issues of being a child star a lot more, & the effects that has on them growing up. It feels very surface level & it's just terribly written. It's a great shame as Britney's story needed telling. 3⭐

My second book by Ozeki and she just isn‘t for me. I really wanted to finish this one for #authoramonth but was finding too many creative reasons to avoid picking it back up.

AmyG I thought it was me but I agree with you. I did read it but I have no desire to read another of her books. 3d
JenReadsAlot I ended up bailing on this one too 3d

Started this one after Kim Jiyoung. Had been debating getting a new therapist, but by the end of the intro I knew it was time! I downloaded the PDF of the questionnaires and wow talk about clarity! I don‘t know if any real healing has happened yet, but someone is ready for therapy now. Very clear how both my mother and grandmother expressed their emotional immaturity. Talk about an eye opener!

GingerAntics I mean, I knew they were both abusive in their own ways, but I always thought of my grandmother as the mature one… the adult in our house. Turns out, NOPE! Just as immature as her daughter. #LindsayCGibsonPsyD #AdultChildrenOfEmotionallyImmatureParents #audiobook #busbook #mindblown #newperspective #therapy #therapyhereicome #eyeopener 4d

This book. Once I started, I could not put it down. Anne Deveson writes about her son Jonathan‘s lived experience of schizophrenia, focusing on the impact it had on her and the family. Deeply moving, tragic and devastating. Absolutely outstanding and essential reading for anyone wanting to better understand chronic mental health issues. Vale Anne Deveson (and her daughter, writer Georgia Blain).

Rissreads I‘m so glad it was as good as you hoped! 7d

Super sad to hear a lot more about what Britney Spears went through in her life and how mistreated she was. It‘s a really heartbreaking story, but it‘s satisfying to hear about what she overcame and how positive she is about the future. I really enjoyed this and am hopeful for her and her family.

Cheddar cheese fudge?
Who thinks it sounds good?

Think it or any food that glows in the dark make my list of fears.

Therewillbebooks Oh man. I'd try it but with some hesitation 1w
vlwelser Try it. But also cheese shouldn't be that color imo. 1w
CatLass007 @Therewillbebooks @vlwelser I‘ll try it as long as y‘all are trying it at the same time. Safety in numbers. (edited) 1w

Ooh tough, so I'm relying on Google for suggestions. The tagged book sounds funny. I'm adding to my list!

Pruzy Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse is a fantasy YA in which eclipses are major plot points! It was a good read! 1w
BookmarkTavern That does look fun! Thanks for answering! 1w

I'm unable to quite describe my feelings about this book. It was weirdly beautiful; however, it was equally just plain weird. Plus I found both of the main characters, Benny & Annabelle, incredibly infuriating & annoying. The Bottleman was my favorite character by far, so full of colorful personality & wisdom. ... ⤵️

monkeygirlsmama ... ⤴️ Definitely a good book on audio because the narrator had a great voice. I do wonder though if I would have hated Benny & his mom less if the narrator had made them less whiny. Cause, despite everything they both had going on mentally and emotionally, I feel like neither would have been so infantile in the way they talked and pitched fits. Fits & frustrations? Sure, I just don't think they'd sound so childlike; that's what rubbed me wrong. 1w
Suet624 That‘s too bad about the voices. 1w
monkeygirlsmama @Suet624 The narrator did amazing with other character voices so maybe he read it the way the author intended, but I know if I had read it I wouldn't have made these two so over the top. Guess it just depends on the vibe of the reader. 🤷‍♀️ 1w
CindyMyLifeIsLit I just bought the physical book yesterday, so hopefully it will be better without the voices! 1w
monkeygirlsmama @CindyMyLifeIsLit Will be interested to hear what you think. Happy Reading! 1w
