I have a lot of opinions about the things I read and watch. I usually share some of these opinions on the library’s staff picks blogs or save them up for podcasts and programs. But there are still more things I have opinions about that don’t fit into the format of my professional activities. How convenient then that I have this blog where I can post the rest of my many varied opinions!
So, for your reading pleasure, here are some things I’ve recently read/seen and what I think of them:
Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger by Rebecca Traister – This book tackles American politics, inclusive movements, and why the battle for equality concerns us all in way that I, for one, really needed to hear. Rage Becomes Her filled me with anger. Good and Mad showed me what to do with that anger.
Lumberjanes – how has it taken me so long to start reading this graphic novel series? It is delightful! Summer camp, fantastic adventures, and rock solid female friendships. What’s not to love?
The Last of Sheila – This movie came out in 1973. A lot of it doesn’t hold up but it still gave me the creeps for days. It reminds me of Clue the movie, though not as deliciously campy.
A Simple Favor – I did not enjoy this book. The movie, though, was another experience entirely. For one thing is went dark, really dark. Like way darker than the book. But whoever designed Blake Lively’s wardrobe is a genius. Absolutely sensational.
Stay tuned for more.
