pickI read two great queer BIPOC essay collections recently. Thunder was written by an indigenous punk woman from the Pacific NW. She linked her personal history with that of tribe members who came before her.
Geoffrey worked in art and fashion in Berlin and NYC. He examined what he enjoyed about the fast, sex and drug-fueled lifestyle he lived and what it cost him in mental health struggles.
Both TW for sexual assault.
Recent acquisitions:
📖 W. H. Auden: The Life of a Poet by Charles Osborne
📖 Shakespeare and the Problem of Meaning by Norman Rabkin
📖 Nora Webster by Colm Tóibín

pickCharlie White passed away on his 109th birthday in 2014. The author was neighbor and friend to this centurion and was regaled with 100 years of memories. I loved reading this but realize I‘m biased because there is many a Kansas City reference here. Also, my grandfather was a medical doctor (wish I knew his professional story better now) in the same era as Charlie so I found his description of pre vs post WWII doctoring fascinating.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickI‘m so excited to get these ✨signed✨copies for free! Sometimes my honor society advisor gig has cool perks 😎 I‘m also incredibly honored and lucky to work with these students— two of our officers were named All-American Scholars this year!
So much of this work is a bureaucratic nightmare but there are definitely glimmers to keep me grateful lol any other Higher Ed teachers out there?
pickI‘ve been a fan of Anthony Bourdain since the No Reservations days and have read all of his non-fiction (including a couple co-written with this author), so this has been on my Kindle TBR for ages. I was a bit disappointed with the Roadrunner documentary, so I was happy that this book delved a lot deeper into Bourdain‘s life before Kitchen Confidential and the early TV days before he was a household name. Unfortunately, 👇🏼 (cont‘d)
pickI had been meaning to read this book for a while now. Her death reminded me of this book, so I figured it was the right time to pick it up. I'm amazed by how vulnerable she was throughout the story. There were a lot of things about her I didn't know. The way she managed to overcome some of her hardships is inspiring. I admire the way she owned who she was and showed her love for the Lord. She managed to touch a lot of hearts while on this earth.
