Gonna Write a Letter in the Month of May
Edition 1: May 2016
It seems everyone these days is doing a newsletter. I subscribe to tons of them, and this week, pondered making one of my own. But I know I ain’t fancy enough for that. I have this blog right here. So, following some formats I love, how about I start doing this thing right here? I’m noodling around with a concept, but the idea is this: Things I read, things I learned, things I wrote. It may evolve as time goes on, but, here we are.
What I read
May was such a good month for filling my brain with words. I love, love, loved Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, and wrote about it for Book Riot’s monthly roundup. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes left me crying on the floor in a rage. Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History by Florence Williams was an excellent and informative commute buddy (and now I am terrified of plastic). A coworker lent me 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad and it should be required reading for everyone. You are a Badass by Jen Sincero is the best self-help book I've found, and is great on audio.
