I was SO SO lucky to win a free copy of Vanity Fair's Women on Women from Goodreads last month. This is one hefty book and I think I'm going to love every page of it.⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ Brief Book Synopsis (from back of book):⁠⠀ Gail Sheehy on Hillary Clinton. Ingrid Sischy on Nicole Kidman. Jacqueline Woodson on Lena Waithe. Leslie Bennetts on Michelle Obama. And two Maureens (Orth and Dowd) on two Tinas (Turner and Fey). Vanity Fair’s Women on Women features thirty of the best profiles, essays, and columns on female subjects written by female contributors to the magazine over the past thirty-five years. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #elliesbookshelf #vanityfair #vanityfairswomenonwomen #feminist #feministliterature #feministlit #iamafeminist #goodreads #goodreadsgiveaway #penguinpress #penguinbooks #radhikajones #davidfriend #essays #bookofessays #readmorewomen #avidreader #goodread #womenwhoread #readersofig #representationmatters #feministbooks #diversereads #bookcommunity #flatlay #bookflatlay #bookish #bookishpost #bibliophile #whattoread
I had a chat with my good friend @marinakaren over the weekend and one of the things we talked about was practicing self-care with our reading. We both agreed that our excessive Goodreads Challenge goals were causing unnecessary stress in our lives and preventing us from picking up the books we really want to read. ⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ For me, this is a particular problem with big books - I love them but they require a lot of reading time, time that could be spent reading several smaller books that push me closer to my goal. This is just silly. I shouldn't be restricting what I read just because I want to meet some arbitrary goal at the end of the year. So, I've edited down my Goodreads Challenge goal and given myself permission to read as many or as few big or little books as I want.⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ How do you practice self-care with your reading???⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #elliesbookshelf #bigbooks #ilikebigbooksandicannotlie #ilovebigbooks #bookstack #bookpile #fallofgiants #kenfollett #theluminaries #eleanorcatton #insunlightandinshadow #markhelprin #sarum #edwardrutherfurd #alwaysreading #goodreads #goodreadsreadingchallenge #goodreadschallenge #readinggoal #bookphoto #bookpic #booktography #bookphotography #readmorebooks #booksbooksbooks #readwhatyoulove #booktastic #booksofinsta #booksaremylife #bookstagramfeature
