BIRDING. | ROSE. RUANE

so-so

Misleading. At the end one of the women is still unaware that the collision has taken place. So many words saying so little in this book. I didn't connect with the characters at all, as they didn't seem real or realistic. This must be on the #WomensPrize longlist for its #MeToo topic and not for its prose, plot, or characters. The last 3rd had character development and nuance around consent, perception, and self that saved it from the pan.

BarbaraBB I am in no hurry to read it 3d

squirrelbrain Great review! 3d

Leniverse @BarbaraBB I can't imagine it will be shortlisted. 3d

#JoysFriday @DebinHawaii (thanks for the tag; you too, @Eggs! 💚🩶💚)

1. After having a filling that partially fell out of my molar back in 1986 ... two root canals, an implant, an implant removal because the 1st one was done incorrectly ... I finally had a new-and-improved implant done this week. So much over one stupid-ass tooth.
2. We saw every planet except Mercury and Neptune.
3. Matt survived his colonoscopy.
4. Matt.
5. Kate & Pip.

Mimi28 lol, good for you 🩷😉 I am still having tooth drama- the filling fell out and only the dentist who did it can fix it. I just need a break from them I need to schedule another appointment 😅 1mo

Susanita Been there done that with the dental drama. I‘m glad you‘re on the other side! 1mo

Lesliereadsalot Don‘t get me started! My friend who had an implant said to the oral surgeon, I could buy a car for what this costs. And he said, a small car. 😂😂 4w

The Secret History of the Rape Kit: A True Crime Story | Pagan Kennedy

pick

I had to take breaks while reading this one. The subject matter was intense and just hit too close to home. We recent (or maybe its confirmation bias) patients coming into the ED with the need for rape kits, and I just hated the language among “professionals“ regarding these women.

Everyday Sexism | Laura Bates

pick

Established before the #metoo movement, Bates‘s Everyday Sexism project gave women a place to voice their issues with predatory behavior. This book is more like a compilation of what she has learned through research, activism, & her own experiences, as well as the experience of other women around the globe through their tweets, quotes, emails, and interviews. It‘s upsetting to hear all the horrible things men do.

Stay safe, Littens
