Nonfiction2025

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is EIGHTEEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is ONE!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are a lot of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇

The Woman They Could Not Silence: The Timeless Story of One Woman's Journey to Be Heard | Kate Moore

pick

A powerful book about 19C Elizabeth Packard: forced into an “insane asylum” by her husband and separated from her five children with the collusion between her husband and the controlling institution director. It vividly portrays how she challenged the horrific institution staff, developed solidarity among the patients, fought back in the court system after discharge, and became an activist for mental health rights. #SheSaid #Nonfiction2025 #MeToo

Summer Stage: A Novel | Meg Mitchell Moore

MallenNC How was Bug Hollow? I saw it in a summer book preview but haven‘t seen any reader opinions 3mo

LeslieO @MallenNC I really enjoyed it. I liked the different POVs of each family member. But one of my favorite podcasters did not like it at all. (edited) 3mo

MallenNC @LeslieO I think I first heard of it from Modern Mrs Darcy and it was also in Fabled bookshop‘s summer preview. I keep feeling like I should add it to my TBR but I haven‘t yet. 3mo

LeslieO @MallenNC I think it was Cindy from Thought From a Page who didn‘t like it. It‘s got a 4.1 rating on GoodReads. I also loved the authors book Search. 3mo

MallenNC @LeslieO Oh I didn‘t realize it‘s the same author as Search. I still need to read that one too. I put a library hold in for Bug Hollow 3mo

The Humorless Ladies of Border Control: Touring the Punk Underground from Belgrade to Ulaanbaatar | Franz Nicolay

bailed

The book description captured me, partly because of the ref to the #PussyRiots, which are part of the #Nonfiction2025 challenge, and mainly because of the idea of exploring the punk rock world behind the former Iron Curtain. However, while the writing is very good, I just couldn‘t stay with it. Too many deep dives into philosophy and theory, and not quite personal enough for me. Also, unless he loops back, the Pussy Riots are just peripheral.

We Still Here: Pandemic, Policing, Protest, and Possibility | Marc Lamont Hill

pick

The subtitle of We Still Here covers the main topics within: pandemic, policing, protest, and possibility. This book was published in 2020 and is organized in interviews format. The chapters Justice for “All” and Whose Violence? were especially powerful.

Interesting and disturbing.

Amiable Looks interesting—and one that I can possibly make fit on the #Nonfiction2025 bingo card… 10mo

JenReadsAlot @Amiable Let me know what you think of it. 10mo

DogMomIrene I loved this book, especially how the author works in the context of North Korea‘s history. The audiobook performance was great too. 10mo

JenReadsAlot @DogMomIrene Agreed! 10mo
