Scarier in 2025

I learned a great deal- and am chilled to my bones in Trump’s America 2.0.

Inspiring, Relieving and Insightful!

Revisado: 08-07-24

As a late bloomer this was exactly what I needed to read. It both validates my lived experience and challenges areas where I have unnecessarily foreclosed possibility for myself. Thank you!!

A revelation!

Revisado: 07-15-24

This was exactly the book my middle aged heart needed! I love how much it surprised and delighted me. July has an uncanny ability to put language to cringe-worthy private thought fragments you have but never fully articulate to yourself, let alone anyone else. I’m recommending it to literally every mid-life woman/human I encounter. Just heard from an old cis het male college friend I haven’t seen in 10 years who randomly recommended it to me, too!

Rushdie is a treasure

Revisado: 05-07-24

I’ve loved his books all my life, but Knife offered a wonderfully intimate and unique glimpse into his mind in and around the terrifying attack. It’s above all else a love story, and he is unflinching unapologetic about that. This brazenness - given his age and the number of marriages in his wake - was so refreshing it cracked open my calcified heart ever so slightly. Is that uncomfortable feeling I’m having hope? Rushdie is a magician!

Thank you, Dr Ford!

Revisado: 05-01-24

I felt enormous gratitude for Dr Ford as I listened to this and gained further context around this collectively tragic chapter in so many women’s & survivors lives. She’s an unlikely and ambivalent American and feminist hero, but a hero is unequivocally what she is! The personal cost to coming forward - to her, her family, her friends, her colleagues, and her students - has been profound and unjust. I hope she knows what an extraordinary gift she gave us - in coming forward and in writing this book. I love the humanizing personal details like: she’s a passionate surfer, a lover of misfits, a bit of a misfit herself, that she dyes her hair blue, and that her favorite bands are Metallica and Pearl Jam! She’s wonderfully human and reluctantly brave.

Changed my thinking profoundly

Revisado: 12-16-23

I’m asking my parents and siblings to read it as well. It’s an incredible roadmap for doing the impossible: helping those we love die well.

Excellent resource for all of us

Revisado: 01-24-19

Eddo-Lodge does a powerful job of breaking down often hard to understand concepts like structural racism, white privilege, and intersectional feminism. I definitely learned a lot and feel better armed to continue to talk to white about race - as well as how to listen better to experiences different from my own.

Extraordinary

Revisado: 12-10-18

Given the current state of affairs, I wept through most of this extraordinary listen. It’s incredible when people with power disclose their own vulnerabilities and champion and amplify the voices of the struggling and disenfranchised. Grateful for Michelle, modeling curiosity, grace, imperfection, and ongoing growth for us all.

Must listen immediately

Revisado: 07-29-16

This almost from the first line became one of my favorite books- audio or paper. Stunning storytelling, gorgeously written and performed.

LOVED

Revisado: 01-06-15

Amanda Palmer is a wonderful role model. I love everything about this book, who she is, what she represents, etc. I'd been a casual fan of the Dresden Dolls but didn't know much about her. Be prepared to Fall In Love!
