Ten Days a Madwoman: The Daring Life and Turbulent Times of the Original "Girl" Reporter, Nellie Bly | 
so-soThe formatting of this book drove me mad. There were interruptions everywhere. Also, the parts about being committed seemed to be picked out of Bly‘s “Ten days in a mad house” and plopped into this work. I enjoyed the bits about Nellie‘s own history.
What I‘ve read so far of the two bags of books I brought home from work to read over the summer. Two YA nonfiction, one graphic novel, two YA fiction and a reread of The Handmaid‘s Tale in anticipation of the sequel being released this fall.

Write up things as you find them, good or bad; give praise or blame as you think best, and the truth all the time. - Nellie Bly

I've read quite a bit about Nellie Bly but I am not sad to read even more.
so-soA fast-paced and interesting narrative nonfiction book about some of Nellie Bly's most daring exploits. Good reading for women's history and young journalists but the sidebars were too distracting - oddly placed, sometimes jarringly different topics - and detracted from the narrative. #24in48 Book number 4, about 10 hours read!
so-soInteresting but not riveting.
