Random ramblings:
The best decision I ever made in july was to take a week off of reading and just consume all the other medias. I'm still catching up on tv show episodes that aired november '18, I haven't watched a movie in forever, and I'm still painfully behind on all the True Crime podcasts. So I took care of that for a bit. And when I decided to go back to reading again, I didn't care about the books I was currently reading, I decided to start some new ones, that I really wanted to read, no matter if they fit with that month's reading challenge for the goodreads bookclub I'm part of, no matter if I HAD to read something. I just picked up what I felt like. So yess, I'M BACK. I'm back to reading, enjoying my reading and actually finishing books. YAY ME.
english review
Summary: Sharing never-before-heard stories ranging from their struggles with depression, eating disorders, and addiction, Karen and Georgia irreverently recount their biggest mistakes and deepest fears, reflecting on the formative life events that shaped them into two of the most followed voices in the nation.
In Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered, Karen and Georgia focus on the importance of self-advocating and valuing personal safety over being ‘nice’ or ‘helpful.’ They delve into their own pasts, true crime stories, and beyond to discuss meaningful cultural and societal issues with fierce empathy and unapologetic frankness.
My review: I LOVE THESE WOMEN. I LOVE THIS BOOK. BYE.
That's kinda it. That's all I want to scream in the book review void and just kinda leave again.
First off all, THIS was the perfect book after my week long vacation away from books. This was the perfect book to get back into reading and really enjoying every little thing about it. THIS WAS PERFECT.
I love these wonderful ladies. I loved learning more about them and hearing all the things they have been through. I especially love how open they are about mental health and therapy. It makes me feel like I TOO, can get a handle on things, if I just take my time and work on it.
I love the writing. I love that while reading it, I could hear them telling me these stories. I felt just as connected to them as I feel when I'm listening to a podcast episode.
Also, PICTURES (and artwork)!!!!
The thing with this book that excited me the most was the fact that I wasn't even half way through with it and I already talked about how I can't wait to reread this over and over again.
I'M FULL OF LOVE AND ALL THE PRAISES FOR THIS BOOK.
