Holis Ya llegué a mostrarles la última lectura de este mes, pero como mi compañerita no se me despega, decidí que participara de la foto. ¿Qué les parece mi perrita lectora? 😏👍 Por otro lado, ¿Qué onda con este libro? Me sorprendió un montón, aunque en el buen sentido. No esperaba que una historia de fantasmas se volviera algo más, y que el papel del antagonista se rotara a otro lado. Y ustedes, ¿Ya lo leyeron? ¿Qué les pareció? ~*~*~*~*~ Cassio Lowood ha heredado una inusual vocación, la de matar a los muertos. Su padre también lo hacía, hasta que murió truculentamente a manos de un fantasma al que intentaba dar caza. Ahora, armado con el misterioso amuleto de su padre, Cas viaja por Estados Unidos junto a su hechicera madre y un gato que olisquea fantasmas. Siempre tras leyendas populares, intentan acabar con los molestos y crueles espíritus que se cruzan en su camino. Un nuevo caso les lleva a una ciudad en busca de un fantasma al que todos llaman "Anna vestida de sangre". Cas espera lo habitual: persecución, caza y matanza. Pero lo que encuentra es a una chica furiosa atrapada en una maldición, un fantasma distinto a todos los demás. Todavía lleva el vestido del día en que cometieron su brutal asesinato en 1958, un vestido que un día fue blanco y ahora aparece cubierto de sangre. Desde el día de su muerte, Anna ha asesinado a todo aquel que ha osado entrar en la casa abandonada que, una vez, fue su hogar. Pero, por alguna razón, a Cas le perdona la vida. #bookgram #bookstagrammexico #bookheaven #bookstime #librosdeterror #lecturas2023 #annavestidadesangre (en Col.

I need a watchman to lead me around and declare what he seeth every hour on the hour I need a watchman to tell me this is what a man says but this is what he means to draw a line down the middle and say here is this justice and there is that justice and make me understand the difference.

Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee

“Food was how my mother expressed her love. No matter how critical or cruel she could seem—constantly pushing me to meet her intractable expectations—I could always feel her affection radiating from the lunches she packed and the meals she prepared for me just the way I liked them.” Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast’s touching memoir about losing her mom to stage IV Squamous cell carcinoma. Chronicling her at times volatile relationship with her mother, and how food connected them to their culture but also each other. I loved that though this book deals with loss and grief I didn’t find it to be over-wrought or depressing. Zauner’s beautiful writing has a lightness to it so that instead of being bogged down with emotion you can focus on the mother-daughter relationship at the heart. A hungry read. 🍱🥡🍚🍜🥟 “How cyclical and bittersweet for a child to retrace the image of their mother. For a subject to turn back to document their archivist.” . . . . . #bookstagram #booklovers #booksbooksbooks #bookstagramza #southafricanreaders #bookstagrammer #bookstagramsouthafrica #readersofinstagram #sareaders #literaryfiction #igreads #bookheaven #readerofinstagram #bookish #booksonbooksonbooks #belletristbabes #read #nextread #cryinginhmart #michellezauner #japanesebreakfast #picador #alfredaknopf #penguinrandomhouse #panmacmillan (at Durbanville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfoBmwwr1-H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone and welcome to the end of the week and a book haul!! These three hardbacks are so beautiful and difficult to resist but what’s a bookworm to do? 😉 Look at that cover for The Secret Lives Of Church Ladies 😍 This is a short story collection explores the raw and tender places where Black women and girls dare to follow their desires and pursue a momentary reprieve from being good. I bought A Lady’s Guide To Fortune Hunting in the gorgeous @illumicrate edition and I’m so glad I did. It’s described as a whip-smart historical rom-com debut that follows an entirely unconventional heroine who throws herself into the London Season in hopes of finding a wealthy husband to save her family from ruin. Finally, I couldn’t resist Hansel and Gretel and other Siblings Forsaken in Forests. It contains seven different versions of the classic fairytale and has beautiful illustrations as a bonus! I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhoarder #bookhaul #bookheaven #cantstopwontstopbuyingbooks #thesecretlivesofchurchladies #deeshaphilyaw #shortstorycollection #aladysguidetofortunehunting #sophieirwin #hanselandgretel #originsoffairytales #prettybooks #morebookslessstress https://www.instagram.com/p/CfMi5qErAsT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨NEW BOOKS & NEW DUCK✨ Meet Rowan, or Rowie for short! This little guy was given to me when a friend of a friend heard I was raising ducklings. She had gotten him from someone who was keeping him in an apartment in Toronto (???) after the poor little guy was abandoned in the city. He’s had a tough life, but I’m hoping to give him a nice new home! I may not be able to keep him when he reaches adulthood (If he’s a drake he and my other boy, Zephyr, would fight over the ladies) but I’ll be raising him until then. He’s either a Mallard or a Rouen, I think, but I can’t be sure because of his sketchy past. He’s become quite attached to little Penny and they’re so cute to watch 🥰 Annnd a friend lent me the Jamieson brothers trilogy, which she loved and I hope I will too.

Undoubtedly, it is one of the best books I have read this year. Trans like me by CN Lester is a collection of arguments that questions and dismantles misogyny, transphobia, patriarchy and societal gendered norms and expectations. Lester carefully puts down their thoughts into 15 brilliant chapters that touches upon every aspect of being trans.

In every chapter, I found myself thinking and learning. Lester argues that it is not merely the absence of knowledge that keeps the truth from being widely known and accepted, it is the active production of ignorance that alters the truth in a way that even silence could not. They talk about the importance of language and terms and the importance of learning them as we go.

The recent arguments presented by JK Rowling can be easily debunked with the narrative Lester presents. Why are you trans? To this Lester says, "I don’t have a quick and easy answer as to why I’m trans, no more than as to why I’m a pianist, or how I experience the colour blue. I don’t have to know every why of who I am to know the truth of my existence, and know that I can only find happiness by embracing that truth."

The argument that trans people are just confused since there are numerous transgender folks who de-transition is proven false with extraordinary evidence by Lester. Lester argues that there are very small number of people who de-transition and even when they do so, it is mostly because they don't identify within the gender binary and are unsatisfied with the results or they need more surgery to feel more like themselves. There are rarely any trans people who regret their transition unless the results were not what they wanted or if the results were not the destination they were thinking of.

Lester talks about the famous movie "Danish Girl" and how it distorted the reality of Lily Elbe and how it contorted facts to present a much oppressive trans narrative. They beautifully explain the historical context of Lily Elbe's real story and the relationship Lily had with her wife and how Danish Girl failed to portray the reality of their loving, lesbian relationship by presenting a ruined marriage due to transition instead.

The book talks about sex and gender and the role of chromosomes in predicating the realness of trans people. Lester argues the importance of intersectionality in feminism and quotes South African activist and artist Gabrielle Le Roux -

"...a struggle for gender equality founded on the idea that we are struggling for equity between men and women is also profoundly flawed. Having worked as a feminist activist for two decades with so many issues and such diverse women, for us not to have engaged with transgender issues as gender issues made me feel cheated. Gender is the connection between transgender and feminism – I feel strongly that until we engage with transgender and intersex inclusively as gender issues, our feminisms are stuck."
