Finishing up "Gold, Fame, Citrus" at the Desert Botanical Garden this morning.
It seemed fitting to enjoy this book about a SW ravaged by drought in the vibrant desert.

This was this month's #harpercollins @BookClubGirl pick! I need to hurry up and finish some other books so I can get started on this one!

Tonight's reading pick in our tiny house rental for the weekend.

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man...We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.

Today's reading nook. I don't normally read #thrillers so let's see how this goes!

Today is #OnceUponABookClub day! My favorite day of the month!

I will finish this book before #firstdraftbookclub tonight! Luckily it is AMAZINGLY and easy to get though. Highly recommend!

To The Bright Edge of the World and Chicory coffee.

Super cute little YA novel. I had a lovely time reading it while camping at The Grand Canyon.

This book is amazing. A really fascinating portrait of turn of tech century Congo. Spiller Alert: all that gruesome stuff in Heart of Darkness? It's all true.

Quiet reading time. Finished this book for The Goodreads group Bookworm Bitches.

It was a huge privilege to hear Gloria Steinem last weekend at the Orpheum Theater in Phoenix!

This month's First Draft Book Club pick! Can't wait for Wednesday!

Fantastic read at First Draft Book Bar!
