2021 Reading: Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered

 #35 A book in a different format that what you normally read (audiobooks, ebooks, graphic novels)

This book was on my reading list last year and I was so upset that I didn't get to it that I knew I needed to read it this year somehow. This seemed like the perfect way to do that since I tend to listen to podcasts or audiobooks in what little time I spend in the car or sometimes even in the shower.

I found myself laughing hysterically at this book (especially the parts that they got Paul Giamati to read). It was a bit more somber than I was thinking it would be, but considering who the authors are and the context of the stories they chose to tell, I'm not surprised. Either way, I really enjoyed it and I'm glad that I got the chance to hear them tell it in their own voices like I always do on the podcast every week.

2021 Reading: Poor Unfortunate Souls

 #31 A book that has the same title as a song


I know that I have read this book before, but since I am reading the rest in the series, I knew I wanted to read this one again so that I could have more context for the story and also have this one fresh in my mind as I go on to the rest of them. I'm very excited.

2021 Reading: Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress

 

I'm really loving these cute little books that play into the destruction of gender norms with children and I am so happy that my library (with as many problems as it has) is letting our children's librarian order these books. So very happy. This was a cute story and I hope that we get even more like it as time goes on.
