My #top10ofthedecade #nonfictionedition 12, because again, I cheat.

squirrelbrain Great choices! I really want to read

Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Emilymdxn Great choices! Evicted and collected schizophrenias are two of my favourite reads of all time. I forgot collected schizophrenias in my list and feel bad now it definitely deserved to be there 6y

Aimeesue @squirrelbrain Evicted is eye-opening, but frustrating and sad. I saw Desmond at the National Book Festival a couple years ago talking about this book, so obviously I had to buy it. No choice, really. 6y

Aimeesue @Emilymdxn Its a great book! 6y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen Pretty sure I bought The Brontësaurus because you posted about it! I loved it. 6y

Megabooks I‘ve read 7/12 and loved all of them! 6y

Daisey I‘ve listened to a few of these on audio and a few more are on my TBR. Great list! 6y

Cinfhen 12 does look nicer 😜 6y

vivastory I love Ronson & I think about "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" often. Great list!! 6y

Aimeesue @Megabooks Clearly, we have great taste! 6y

Aimeesue @Daisey IMO, everyone should listen to Born A Crime. Such great narration! 6y

Aimeesue @Cinfhen Right? Much neater! 6y

Aimeesue @vivastory Every time Monica Lewinski's name comes up! 6y

jillrhudy Someone should write “So You've Been Publicly Shamed and Evicted.“ Bound to be happening to people in the current climate, no? 6y

Amazing. So even if you're Charlotte Bronte and have written one of the greatest proto feminist works of literature, you still have to be hot.

One Brontësaurus, two Brontësauruses!
Such a treat! The appendix, “Jane Eyre Abbreviated” by John Crace (who does The Guardian‘s Digested Read) is a scream. Extra twenty points just for including that. ?

LeahBergen Wasn‘t ‘Jane Eyre Abbreviated‘ awesome?? 😂😂 7y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen I loooooove the Digested Read. JE Abbreviated was awesome! I would recommend this book for that alone. But wait! You also get a book called “Brontësaurus” AND the bit about Heathcliff‘s teeth! What a steal! 7y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen Asaaaand the spring issue of SF has a piece about Villette in it. Apparently it‘s all Brontë all the time around here. 7y

LeahBergen Oooh, I can‘t wait! 👏🏻👏🏻 Bloody Canada Post is poky and I‘m always a little late receiving my Slightly Foxed mail. 7y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen I just got mine yesterday, so I hope yours will be there soon! It‘s a great issue. 7y

I started reading bits and pieces of this book to fact-check the similarities between the characters of Caroline and Shirley with the real life Anne and Emily Brontë (in Charlotte‘s novel, Shirley) ... and now I can‘t stop. This alphabetical look at Brontë lore is erudite and witty and an absolute delight.

LeahBergen Fellow buddy readers: do not read the comment below unless you‘ve read Ch. 28: Phoebe 7y

LeahBergen The rabid dog incident is EXACTLY what happened to Emily Brontë. Right down to the cauterizing bit. ? 7y

Susannah I mean, “Brontesaurus.” The title alone is worth four stars. 7y

batsy @LeahBergen Oh my! I could *feel* that pain when she described it. 7y

batsy Wow 😍 I must have this! #blameitonLeah 7y

erzascarletbookgasm I am stacking! 7y

Kimberlone Clever title! 7y

Reviewsbylola Can‘t forget Branwell! You‘ve made me really want to read Shirley! 7y

LeahBergen @Susannah Right?? 😆 7y

LeahBergen @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm It‘s a really fun little book to dip in and out of. 👍🏻 7y

LeahBergen @Kimberlone Isn‘t it? 😄 7y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola I‘m so into it (Shirley) right now but be forewarned: I found it a bit of a slog for the first several chapters. 7y

Hooked_on_books Love the title! 7y

merelybookish This is amazing! And I love the parentheses. Does it support the Caroline/Anne and Shirley/Emily theory? 7y

saresmoore And it has the best title! Thank you for sharing! 7y

Blaire @LeahBergen oh wow! It was a very vivid description. 7y

Blaire This sounds like a lot of fun. 7y

RohitSawant Obviously stacking! 😄 7y

A collection of short essays about the Brontë family and their history. This was enjoyable and educational, and a very fast read after finishing Jane Eyre recently. If you love the Brontë‘s this one is for you!

I was excited to pick this up from the library today! Somehow I thought a book with this title would be very large, but it is agreeably small. UPDATE: Finally reading this. It's great -- erudite, wide-ranging and very funny.

kathleenaflynn I really enjoyed this! 8y
