IF it ever arrives.......

I will be reading Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister The Official Companion to the BBC Series by Wainwright, Sally. I guess I didn't realize it was coming from across the pond when I ordered it. |

It F I N A L L Y arrived and it was wonderful....... The books goes into more details about the various affairs she carried on and some shall we say "one night stands" which she had more than her fair share of.. yup Anne got around! The book explains how the diaries were almost NOT published and who found them. If you're enjoying the series, I think you'll enjoy this companion piece. |

With yesterday being the 75 anniversary of D Day, I thought to read something from the history section and I chose 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' author Heather Morris. Based on one man's account from the time - being a Slovakian Jew and forcibly taken to concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Although it was a very hard book to read - it is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions. Not for the faint of heart, but highly recommended. Comparable intensity to the 'Pianist'

John Waters.
Mr Know It All
I've always been a fan of Waters the man but Waters the movie director and his movies not so much! This book is typical John Waters the man's outlook on life, love, death, and even some very interesting advice for those "would be movie makers"! Who knew securing the music used in movie soundtracks was so freaking E X P E N S I V E ... |

The Shakespeare Requirement (2018) by Julie Schumacher ....
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune keep hitting beleaguered English professor Jason Fitger right between the eyes in this hilarious and eagerly awaited sequel to the cult classic of anhedonic academe, the Thurber Prize-winning Dear Committee Members. Now is the fall of his discontent, as Jason Fitger, newly appointed chair of the English Department of Payne University, takes arms against a sea of troubles, personal and institutional. The fearsome department secretary Fran clearly runs the show (when not taking in rescue parrots and dogs) and holds plenty of secrets she's not sharing. The lavishly funded Econ Department keeps siphoning off English's meager resources and has taken aim at its remaining office space. And Fitger's attempt to get a mossbacked and antediluvian Shakespeare scholar to retire backfires spectacularly when the press concludes that the Bard is being kicked to the curricular curb. |

Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984-1988 by Jane Mayer and Doyle McManus.
Several weeks ago, Rachel Maddow made mention of this book, when she made a correlation between Attorney General Edwin Meese (who Trump had just awarded some award to that day) and Attorney General Barr, so needless to say my curiosity was piqued! I haven't read much, but so far it's been very informative. Sidebar: Jane Meyer is also a co-author of the book Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas which is very interesting reading. |

My Autobiography of Carson McCullers.....
by Jenn Shapland released Feb 4th
While working as an intern in the archives at the Harry Ransom Center, Shapland encounters the love letters of Carson McCullers and a woman named Annemarie—letters that are tender, intimate, and unabashed in their feelings. Shapland recognizes herself in the letters’ language—but does not see McCullers as history has portrayed her. And so, Shapland is compelled to undertake a recovery of the full narrative and language of McCullers’s life: she wades through the therapy transcripts; she stays at McCullers’s childhood home, researches McCullers’s days at beloved Yaddo. As Shapland reckons with the expanding and collapsing distance between her and McCullers, she sees how McCullers’s story has become a way to articulate something about herself. The results reveal something entirely new not only about this one remarkable, walleyed life, but about the way we tell queer love stories. I had first seen this book mentioned in Oprah Magazine and can't wait to read it. |

I just came across an article about a book being released on January 20th titled Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer, and Secret Diarist. Not sure if I'll be ordering it or not. |

The Longing for Less: Living with Minimalism – by Kyle Chayka
It's not so much of a "how to" manual but more of an in-depth & history look at minimalism I would say. I first saw it mentioned in The Week magazine Feb 9th issue. |

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney
The inspiration and titular character of Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk is modeled after real-life ad copywriter and poet, Margaret Fishback. Lillian Boxfish author Kathleen Rooney offers us a fascinating glimpse of a woman who was far ahead of her time, taking to print to declare that she didn't need a husband to support her. Starting out as a school teacher, Fishback took on a job at the lower rungs of copywriting at the prestigious department store R. H. Macy's (today referred to simply as Macy's) but quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming chief copywriter. She was a highly paid woman in the advertising world of the 1930s, a time when the Great Depression firmly had its grip over the United States. It just arrived yesterday, so hopefully I'll start it soon! |
