This was a good one @daniwithtea ,& it hit me at the right time too (June is Pride Month). I blew through it in just a few days, plus it made me keep wanting to stop and pull out old albums, play favorites, and google new songs. I liked that the analysis was both deeply personal, but also analytical at times, and how it explored rule breakers, and how some of those broken rules became subsumed into the next iteration of acceptable masculinity.

Blatt uses statistical analysis to examine books written by bestselling, classic, or award winning authors. It sounds like 💤 but it‘s not. His writing is readable and I like his wry sense of humor. And I‘ll never view the cliffhanger at the end of a chapter the same. Not to mention adverbs ending in -ly. Word nerd heaven!

Hey #NisforNonfiction friends - here are my suggestions. I went for shorter length and a few are lesser known. But I think they hit on topics we‘d be interested in right now. What do you think?

Riveted_Reader_Melissa They all look excellent, and I haven‘t read any them yet! 4y
daniwithtea These are all fantastic picks! 4y
tjwill These are great picks! I would definitely like to read Nickel and Dimed, and the Sotomayor and Goodall memoirs! 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @tjwill Those were my top three out of these too! Nickel & Dimed and Sotomayor have been on my to read list for awhile, but I‘ve always been fascinated by Jane Goodall, so no matter what we pick, I‘ll be adding that one to my long to read list too. 4y
daniwithtea I am good with Nickel & Dimed, Sotomayor, or Goodall as well! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @tjwill @daniwithtea @Riveted_Reader_Melissa So we have one LGTBQ topic and one Politics / current events pick. I say we skip Nickel and Dimed and choose one of the other two, depending on Tara‘s suggestions. I‘d like to have an inspiring choice or two! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Okay friends - I suggest we go with the Jane Goodall to round out our four. That way we have one more international story. What do you think? @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @daniwithtea @tjwill 4y
daniwithtea @BarbaraTheBibliophage sounds great to me! 4y
tjwill @BarbaraTheBibliophage Sounds great! I‘m looking forward to it! 4y
