I absolutely love your reviews, Jenna!

Awww, thanks!

I’m now reading The Coordinates of Loss by Amanda Prowse. For Christmas I asked people for a book they loved this year and this one is from my mother in law.

[Pi.R^2]

Ooh, just popped onto the Good Reads and spotted that you’ve read it already!

I gave this three stars because it's such an amazing and important piece of work and I think it is still incredibly useful despite the fact that the author is definitely at least a little problematic, which lost her two stars.

As I'm sure everyone's on the edge of their seats as to what I might be listening to now, I'll spill the beans :P

Listening to Will I Ever Have Sex Again, by Sofie Hagen

I gave this 4 stars. Then I listened to what White People Can Do Next: From Allyship To Coalition by Emma Dabiri which I also gave 4 stars. And now I’m reading These Letters End In Tears by Musih Tedji Xaviere

I gave this 3 stars (liked it).

The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler - Gene Kemp.

I actually read this in school over 30 years ago. I don't remember much about it and it wasn't until 10 years ago I finally tracked down what it was called. It's an easy read so far but I have only read 2 chapters.

Read Dinosaur Therapy - James Stewart and K. Romey.

Gave it 4 stars (really liked it).

Living With Tinnitus and Hyperacusis - Laurence McKenna.

Think Again - Jacqueline Wilson.

[Elmer]

I also finally finished a book!

I listened to The School For Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan. Gave it three stars.

[one_step_closer]

Yay, well done Lio!

I have given up on Think Again. It's very obvious that she is a children's writer and the mini plot surprise thing was predictable.

Now reading Shutter Man - Richard Montanari.

Now listening to A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara; not expecting to finish it or enjoy it but want to at least give it a bit of a hate read!

[one_step_closer]

Why do you think it'll be a hate read, Jenna? I have it on my bookcase but can't really remember what it's about.

[Pi.R^2]

Because it's about a gay disabled man written by a straight non-disabled woman who openly admits to doing no research into her character which I find obnoxious and disrespectful. It features self-harm and I expected her lack of research to lead to those bits being unrealistic and badly written.

I'm over two-thirds of the way through and I don't hate it all which I'm not thrilled about :P

[one_step_closer]

Oh, I didn't realise that. Haha! You can. hate the book because you don't hate it!
