The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
This was a difficult book to read — for the content, not the writing — but it turns out to be a spectacularly beautiful story. #25wordbookreviews (Amzn)

Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
I wanted to understand why people are obsessed with true crime. The last chapter helped. It’s still not for me, but I kinda get it. #25wordbookreview (Amzn)

Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane
I love novels about the never-quite-complete (but still somehow beautiful) recovery from trauma. This one is hopeful without being trite, about many types of love. #25wordbookreview (Amzn)

I Like to Watch by Emily Nussbaum
God, was this a great book. I didn’t realize how hungry I was to hear modern television discussed as the art form it really is. #25wordbookreviews (Amzn)

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
The first novel I think I’ve ever read where a woman has an independent lifestyle and a healthy sexual appetite… and isn’t ruined by them. #25wordbookreview (Amzn)

Very Nice by Marcy Dermansky
Not so terrible that I stopped reading, I guess. One of those novels where everyone is an asshole and you’re supposed to find it funny. #25wordbookreviews (Amazon)

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
I would love the book this was advertised to be — but it was actually about three women’s painful sexual experiences, delivered with soft-core porn detail. #25wordbookreviews (Amazon)

The Valedictorian of Being Dead by Heather B Armstrong
Fascinating memoir about the dooce.com author’s devastating struggle with depression and the harrowing experimental treatment she endured to find relief. Great voice — funny surprisingly often. #25wordbookreviews (Amazon).

Every Tool’s A Hammer by Adam Savage
I loved the half of this that covered Savage’s love of making. The rest was fine but just not for me (Cosplay and other obsessions). #25wordbookreviews (Amazon)
