Let's Chat: Whatcha Reading?
Hi, friend.
I had grandiose plans for giving you a list of fun, witchy books in time for Halloween, but I have been burned out beyond belief and wasn’t vibing with the first few books I wanted to read for the list. It was the perfect storm to get me to take a break for a minute.
Instead, I thought I’d try out something different: A discussion thread! Pop in the comments below—or respond to this email—with what you’re reading right now or what you’re excited about reading next.
I’ll go first.
I’m reading PMSL: Or How I Literally Pissed Myself Laughing and Survived the Last Taboo to Tell the Tale by Luce Brett, because ya girl cannot get enough of medical memoirs. In this, Luce tells the harrowing story of her traumatic birth and subsequent chronic leakiness. She’s pissed (ha) that it’s considered normal for women to be incontinent after a vaginal birth and brings snark and empathy to the discussion of medical bias against women.
And I picked up Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson a few nights ago to get some adventure in my brain. Stevie Bell is abroad to solve another murder. Say no more.
Your turn!
