Call for Entries: Books!
I love books and I happen to work right by two major booksellers in Miami so I have my choice of where to go for good reads. Today during lunch, I happen to stop in on one of the booksellers and they happen to have two of the books I had on my Amazon wishlist, so I bought them. I will probably be reviewing them as I go.
One of them is Listen Up: Voices from the Next Feminist Generation and the other is Jessica Valenti’s He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut… I read a bit out of both books during lunch and so far I find them both very interesting. Actually, I read the first essay in Listen Up and found myself relating to it on many levels. I’ll write more on that later as I digest what I read and have more time for a thorough review.
The point of this post though is that I’d like to compile a list of books that every feminist, new feminist, or aspiring feminist should read and I would love input for all you guys out there. Comment back and let me know what books you think I and other women out there should read.
Much needed break
I took a much needed break this weekend since I’m in between summer semesters. I should be back to my usual self shortly. I’m currently suffering from “Post Vacation Syndrome” and it may take a day for me to shake it off.
Meanwhile, I’d just like to note that I must be doing something right by this blog as I am currently attracting trolls. That — to me — is a sign that what I’m saying and what I’m writing about is right on the money.
More soon…
