I am enjoying this fairy tale book. I have about an hour left.

Fiction is the great lie telling the truth…
Spot on articulation for why writing & reading “fiction” is important. 👌🏾 I could listen to Verghese all day - so insightful & relaxing. Bet his medical students like him.

pickI knew I wanted to read this book as soon as I saw it on the shelf. This memoir is told not directly by the family, but as it was told to the author writing for them. Nicole and her twin brother were adopted, and from a very early age, she knew she was in the wrong body. The family‘s journey from observation, to education, to the many steps of gender affirming care and inevitability the legislature is told. This book was published in ⬇️

Dear Universe, Hi it‘s me, Nikki. I know that we haven‘t talked in a while, but I thought that I would just bring up something that has been bothering me lately. Transgenderism. No, not transgenderism itself, more like, how we are treated, and why we can‘t do this or that, or why it‘s such a big deal to everybody. For starters, why IS it such a big deal to everyone what somebody has in their pants? Now, I don‘t mean to get too philosophical⬇️
In the context the spiders should be venomous, not poisonous. 🙄 I‘m trying hard to not be too judgmental of this book, because I really want to like it. The characters are pushing my limits though. Please tell me it gets better.
I got 40 out of 100…

pickI absolutely loved Nam's take and illustration of this manga.
She drew a lot of the characters in such a way that mirrored how I imagined them during the original read of Rowell's book.
Just like when I read the book, I'm saddened to end the manga. I've enjoyed every variation of this whether it's in manga, like here, the audiobook or the actual book, I enjoy it every time 😍

pickRead in 2024. Typical Christian Lauren book. Fun, quick summer read. I read it over the summer when our lives were in the midst of chaos & transition, so all the details are escaping me (I‘m sure I could remember if I read the cover). Point is it was a good escape book when I needed it.
pickThe twins‘ grandparents send them silk orchids as a Valentine‘s Day present, so Jessica decides to start the Orchid Club with Lila & Ellen. But you have to have a silk orchid to join. Liz thinks they‘re snobs so she starts the Sunflower Club where anyone can join. Jess soon feels left out. This had a cute ending. Oh, to be a kid again. 4⭐️
