Bad Feminist | Roxane Gay

Finished these two for #AuthorAMonth

I flew through these powerful stories.

“I believe feminism is grounded in supporting the choices of women even if we wouldn‘t make certain choices for ourselves.” ~ Bad Feminist

My February #bookspin is The Kiss Countdown - reading with #riseupreads and enjoying it so far
My #doublespin is any memoir. I'm thinking of reading Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay for #AuthorAMonth if library holds work out

These short stories about women in Haiti or its diaspora are painful and poignant, sometimes hopeful and sometimes despairingly sad. Some feel so real I thought they were autobiographical. They are not but I felt I learned so much about the author from reading them. This is the first I‘ve read by Gay and it was so good. I look forward to reading another one by her. Having just finished a book of short stories about Nepal, with what I felt were ⬇️

Texreader Incomplete and contained gratuitous scenes of se*, Gay has some stories without endings and certainly contain very intimate scenes. But it feels like her stories have real purpose and so does the intimacy—they are important parts of the stories. This is a short read, and worth anyone‘s time to read. #authoramonth @Soubhiville 4d

JacqMac I have read her other books and I was looking for one for this month. It sounds good. Adding to my February list. 4d

JacqMac My grandmother was like this. “You can have it when I die. It won‘t be long.” She started saying that at 40 and she lived to be 93. lol (edited) 5d

Great reading month for January! I finished 19 books total & read almost all I set out to. I think weekly plane rides & trying to avoid media upped my reading time. Finished all 3 #Roll100 books, 3 from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac + #AuthorAMonth #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FoodandLit #ChloeGongReadalong #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #JaneAustenThenAndNow ⬇️

DebinHawaii … & #SeriesLove2025 & also had some library books sneak their way in. I enjoyed most everything I read (although I got a little heavy with Nazis/Fascists books for a month of political horror that was depressing but some lighter books pulled me out). Top 3 Favorites were Bad Cree, Lula Dean‘s Little Library of Banned Books & The Night Guest. (edited) 6d

repost for @Soubhiville:

It‘s February #AuthorAMonth readers. This month we‘ll be celebrating Roxane Gay. What are you planning to read?

I haven‘t gotten to this year‘s Google form yet. I will try to do that by my mid month post so you can start recording what you‘ve read. In the meantime, if you use StoryGraph here‘s the link to the challenge there:
