Wow! April was an amazing reading month for me! I read 12 books and 7 of them were 5 ⭐️!
Here's my stack of books for the #fbcreadathon ✨️💜
I finished Girlhood by Melissa Febos a while ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Thus book came in the March @feministbookclubbox and it gave me something I didn't know I needed. In these essays, Febos helped me think back to my own childhood and realize how some memories were more than I thought they were. Some were more meaningful, some were more painful, others made me laugh and others just had me pondering about certain relationships. My own relationship with my self is still a work in progress and these essays definitely helped me in a lot of ways.
March Wrap Up!
Gold Diggers by Sanjena Sathian took me by surprise. In this book we follow Neil (Neeraj) from his teenage years to his adulthood. As a child of immigrants he is feeling the pressure to succeed academically and make his family proud, their sacrifices "worth it". So, when he discovers that his neighbor, Anita, and her mom, are making a magical lemonade that grants ambition and the focus to succeed on whatever you put your mind to, he is hooked.
Garden update! A year ago we moved into this house and started planting and caring for a garden that I never imagined we'd have. Now we are fortunate to enjoy a variety of flowers as well as tomatoes, lettuce, peas, etc.
