2020

May 2020, still inside and i accidentally quit audiobooks

I read quite a few books this month but don't have as many "you absolutely must read this book" recommendations this month. My two favorite things I read this month were Kerry Winfrey's Love and Other Alien Experiences and Levine and Heller's Attached. I also adored Kiley Reid's Such a Fun Age.

April 2020, i'm pretty sure

The only thing I read this month that I would 110% recommend to anyone is Sam Irby's wow, no thank you.

2020

March 2020, a month we all just tried to figure it out

[What I Recommend] I'll admit Zami: A New Spelling of My Name will not hit everyone the same, but I do recommend it. And Heartburn because everyone should read Heartburn.

February 2020, Black history month

[What I Recommend] Everyone should read The Yellow House by Sarah M. Broom, and if you love Nora Ephron and romantic comedies, you should also read I'll Have What She's Having by Erin Carlson.

2020

January 2020, a very long month

What I Recommend I liked all of these, but what I would say you must read is Her Body and Other Stories, Shrill, and Americanized.

Recommendations

  • Abortion on TV
    Abortion on TV
    tumblr.com/abortionontv

    There aren’t many good depictions of abortion on TV. This tumblr explores mostly the good, but sometimes the bad. Real brownie points if the show actually says “abortion.”
