April reads

 

I am still playing catch up with my reads but this will be my last delayed post. Hopefully, I will continue more regularly.

In April, I read 4 books on 4 very different topics:

• An essay on the persistent racial injustice in America.
• A friend-to-lovers vacation story.
• A collection of essay about pregnancy, birth, and motherhood .
  A bit hard to relate as most writers have tons of money, which does make a difference in the options you have for your care and baby’s. Be prepared to cry everything you have (especially if you listen to the book as the authors are reading) during Emma Hansen’s essay. It really made me want to read her whole book, “Still: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Motherhood”, I am just not ready to face it at the moment.
• A “memoir meets masterclass”. We follow the author from aspiring author to professor. Her book is an “exploration of how we think and write about intimate experiences—“a must read for anybody shoving a pen across paper or staring into a screen or a past” (Mary Karr).”
