Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

Roxane Gay

From the New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist: a searingly honest memoir of food, weight, self-image, and learning how to feed your hunger while taking care of yourself. “I ate and ate and ate in the hopes that if I made myself big, my body would be safe. I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere. . . . I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe.” In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. As a woman who describes her own body as “wildly undisciplined,” Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. In Hunger, she explores her past—including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life—and brings readers along on her journey to understand and ultimately save herself. With the bracing candor, vulnerability, and power that have made her one of the most admired writers of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to learn to take care of yourself: how to feed your hungers for delicious and satisfying food, a smaller and safer body, and a body that can love and be loved—in a time when the bigger you are, the smaller your world becomes.

I can finally update my library

It's so easy to add read books to my library that I'm finally adding all the books I could never be bothered adding to goodreads 😅

Suddenly I realised how many books I've actually consumed over the years

Godslayers (Gearbreakers, #2)

Zoe Hana Mikuta

Godslayers--Zoe Hana Mikuta's high-octane sequel to Gearbreakers--is perfect for fans of Pacific Rim, Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga, and Marie Lu's Legend series. The only way to kill a god is from the inside... The Gearbreakers struck a devastating blow against Godolia on Heavensday, but the cost of victory has been steep. Months later, the few rebels who've managed to escape the tyrannical empire's bloody retribution have fled to the mountains, hunted by the last Zenith--Godolia's only surviving leader. Eris has been held prisoner since the attack on the capital city, which almost killed her. And she begins to wish it had when she discovers Sona--the girl she loves, the girl she would tear down cities for--also survived, only to be captured and Corrupted by the Zenith. The cybernetic brainwashing that Sona has forcibly undergone now has her believing herself a loyal soldier for Godolia, and Eris' mortal enemy. With the rebellion shattered and Godolia moving forward with an insidious plan to begin inducting Badlands children into a new Windup Pilot program, the odds have never been more stacked against the Gearbreakers. Their last hope for victory will depend on whether Eris and Sona can somehow find their way back to each other from opposite sides of a war...

I have to say, i quite like the FMC She seems to be smart and determined and wants to be recieved that way Her being pretty is not the main focal point and her whole personality like you sometimes get with FMC She is very confident which might rub some people the wrong way, but i admire that What is your take?

Indian Inspired Stories?

Hiiii, I am excited to read some of these books, but I was also wondering if anyone had Indian specific recs? I'm half Indian but raised in New Zealand so I don't really have a ton of connection to my culture and would love some recs to get a bit more connected :)

When to DNF

I’ve always struggled with DNFing books even when I find myself dreading reading them. I just feel so bad because the author put a lot of work into their writing, but sometimes I’m just bored or uninterested and don’t want to keep reading. But at the same time, I don’t want to habitually drop stories a couple pages in because they don’t immediately grab my attention.

How do you guys decide when to DNF a book? How do you balance pushing through and dropping books when you don’t enjoy them?

100% Thoughts

This book will forever live in my mind. It's grown its roots and burrowed deep inside me. I cannot get over how this ended, the amount of anguish, tears, and confusion that is still going on inside of me. I'll be posting a review soon, but this is definitely going on my favorite bookshelf.

I am in a romantic mood, tell me real life book boyfriend /girlfriend stories you have experienced!

We all want men in books, but they sadly do not exist, or do they? Share your stories of past or present experiences that felt like it was straight out of a book. You don't have to have dated them, or still be with them, just something you sometimes think of and believe could be written into a book! Ɛ>

HATE: Why We Should Resist it With Free Speech, Not Censorship (Inalienable Rights)

Nadine Strossen

We live in an era in which offensive speech is on the rise. The emergence of the alt-right alone has fueled a marked increase in racist and anti-Semitic speech. Given its potential for harm, should this speech be banned? Nadine Strossen's HATE dispels the many misunderstandings that have clouded the perpetual debates about "hate speech vs. free speech." She argues that an expansive approach to the First Amendment is most effective at promoting democracy, equality, and societal harmony. Proponents of anti-hate speech laws stress the harms that they fear such speech might lead to: discrimination, violence, and psychic injuries. However, there has been no rigorous analysis to date of whether the laws effectively counter the feared harms. This book fills that gap, examining our actual experience with such laws. It shows that they are not effective in reducing the feared harms, and worse yet, are likely counterproductive. Even in established democracies, enforcement officials use the power these laws give them to suppress vital expression and target minority viewpoints, as was the case in earlier periods of U.S. history. The solution instead, as Strossen shows, is to promote equality and societal harmony through the increasingly vibrant "counterspeech" activism that has been flourishing on U.S. college campuses and in some global human rights movements. Strossen's powerful argument on behalf of free expression promises to shift the debate around this perennially contentious topic.

Buddy read?

Edit: Should we read HATE at the end of the month? Like around the last week of October?

I was wondering if anyone here would want to do a buddy read in October or even November? I'm open to suggestions ☺️

Tell Me I'm Not Alone!

I am a snacker (both healthy and not so healthy) when it comes to reading, I've done it since my college days (Classical major with a minor in History so I had to read multiple books each week regardless if I liked them or not 🥴). Sometimes it's bad because I tend to want a messy snack but I would be reading a physical book instead of an ebook 😅

I want to know if I'm not the only one and what your go to snack or treat is. OR if I'm the only one that does this lol.

(I'm secretly trying to get recommendations and new snack ideas 👀)

Mexican Gothic

Silvia Moreno-Garcia

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemí’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.
