There‘s a lot of talk these days about getting 3.5% of the population involved in a protest. But why? And how?
I‘m trying to learn more about how nonviolent resistant world and (why) 😉

pickVery good. Very good.
My enjoyment of the book ebbed and flowed. But ended on a high note.
bailed125 pages in I remember that I didn‘t really like Huck Finn. So I probably wasn‘t going to start enjoying a retelling of it either.
Also had to get a tire changed which was a real bummer on a Sunday.
pickYezierska‘s stories are exactly what I feel as an American Jew. Reconciling inherited traditions and modern life. Things aren‘t bad or good, merely different. The best road through life is live and let live while honoring your own history and family.
Through her stories I feel more connected with my culture and my immigrant ancestors.
pickYes I did stay up too late finishing this book.
Unsheltered is my first of Kingsolver‘s books. But it won‘t be the last!
What should I read of hers next?
Unsheltered called to me more than the sentence. It was a more ragged copy which felt better for a beach trip. I don‘t have to feel bad about it getting wet and sandy.
Which one do I bring on vacation?
pickHard not to give this book a “pick”. It‘s not high literature by any stretch. But it‘s imaginative and consistent with the original three books in the series. It was a nice easy read.
Actual, physically by my bed TBR.
I‘m in the middle of three of them. (Why civil resistance works, sunrise of the reaping and language city.)
I am about 8 books behind where I should be in my 50 books in ‘25 goal.
Suggestions for quick books welcome! Especially if they can be part of my #selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse!
I was planning on #bailing at page 212 it‘s been a slog and I know that‘s the point and yet… I‘m not sure I can abandon the characters.
Does this happen to you? What do you do?
“The prioress remarked that it was not till christian times that simplicity became a virtue; the good characters of the Old Testament were ingenious as well as virtuous.”
Pg 115
Really overly excited about this massive #bookhaul from a used bookstore in Philly.
Yes, all of this fiction counts as rare as per my 2025 reading challenge. 😬😬😳😳🤪🤪
Can someone explain how litfluence is calculated?
pickGreat, wonderful book. Full of snippets of Arendt‘s philosophy and theory.
❤️❤️❤️
My last book was a s l o w read. Hoping this one is a quickie.
I‘m having difficulty articulating to friends the difference because library curation and banning books.
How do you guys explain the difference?
Thanks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa for the inspo.

No computer. No internet. Guess I‘ll just have to read.
Not quite #selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse but seems like a good time to learn more about thought biases.
Library says, “Hurry up! Read faster!”
Blurgh.
Paused on buying this book so I could look into its bit more.
What do you think?
pickBought this for the bookworms. I‘m tempted to read it to them. But I‘ll probably just cry the whole time. 😢🥺
This book was initially published in 1989 but has some revisions from 2008. The discussions of gender strategies and the “myths” we create in our own homes to make the family work (or not) is rocking my world.
What myths have I created to justify how my family functions? Are they serving me and the rest of my family or should I rephrase my reality to better serve us all?
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
Next up in my self-guided women and gender studies course.
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
I‘m at page 177. I‘m on the edge of my seat over the last 50 pages and reading feels akin to watching car crash. 😳🫣😳🫣
Happy International Women‘s Day.
May there be a time when women don‘t need a special day or a month because they are always treated as full human beings.
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
What should I read next?!?!?!!?
This is the kind of book you want to keep near you just in case you have a spare minute to read a page.
pickThere are some heart wrenching letters in here. But the ones that got me were the ones that hit closest to home.
I‘m taking these two on vacation with me next week.
Immigrant stories are really speaking to me right now even though I feel like I need to continue my women‘s studies course.
I wasn‘t getting anything done at home. So I came to a local coffee shop for thank you note writing and some reading.
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
This book is a bit farther off the women and gender studies mark than I expected. But I‘m muddling through.
The documentary was great! Watch it with your partner!!
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
I was fairly indifferent to the work of the Gates‘ Foundation but now I have a new found respect and admiration for Melinda French Gates. I can‘t wait to se what else she does.
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
Bit of a shopping spree but no fiction!
🤪😜😜😜😬🥴
#selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse
