Oh my GOD thank you so much for posting your reviews and also your recommendation about Book Riot! I am going to check all of these out and this is exactly what I needed!!! You rule!

Very true. So many people were quick to dismiss his accusers and the girl from the rape tape as fast girls who went after Kelly. Even now people will say those girls wanted to be with him and should have known what they were getting themselves into. Can you imagine someone saying that about a 13 year old white girl? I…

Considering the US kept him imprisoned for a year even though he’d been cleared for an asylum claim (which should have sent him to his family), denied him his prosthetic limbs for months, punished him for not having the very limb THEY TOOK, and now are threatening to send him back to danger. Yes, please, Canada,…

He should flee to Canada and seek asylum based upon credible threats to his safety from American immigration officials. 

You betcha! I started blogging all the books I read back in 2014...and then it went down to just my favorites...and now I haven’t blogged since last May, lol. But you can check out my (usually brief, occasionally funny, sometimes painfully earnest) reviews here: http://www.thewomeniread.com/

I’m so in love with this image I’m going to tattoo it on my person.

This is so viscerally frightening on every level. Stalking her from a random sighting, stranger abduction from her own home, murdering her entire family to get to her, and then extended captivity. Fucking christ. I’m so glad that the people Jayme ran to for help are decent people.

That’s the thing about all these conversations about whether or not we should accept back these fuckers after some nebulous period of “time out” from public life - it presupposes that there’s no one else with sufficiently good (or better!) talent that we could direct our attention to. It all focuses on the tragic loss…

the father who provided the killer with the gun, he needs to be questioned. men like his son do not need to “borrow” guns for innocent reasons. 

Bless your heart.

This is forever my primary Carol Channing reference.

I fell in love with her in “Thoroughly Modern Millie”. Such an awesome classy lady.

I don’t know if Gillette razors cut into hair better than other razors, but nothing cuts into a person better than the truth.

Oh, raspberries. :( :( :(

I think it’s a good thing. Democracy is about representation, and if there’s one demographic that’s horribly underrepresented in Congressional committees relative to the overall size of their population, it’s cruel white women.

Awwww! She was holding up one corner of this planet, I’m pretty sure.
