2.5 stars

Ida M. Tarbell is a fascinating figure in the history of investigative journalism. The writing in this biography was dry and tedious to get through while listening to the audiobook. The book is informative and provides context to some of her views, which often seem contradictory, and her actions. An interesting read.

She looks white: "Just Little Miss Pretty Hair and Her Creamy White Skin." In the media, there's a light-skin bias, where black women are depicted as beautiful with lighter skin, and sometimes magazines will lighten a black woman's skin. Because Ida Mae is black but has lighter skin, I bet she has more privilege than a darker black woman. I haven't read the whole book, but I bet that this book calls out the bias against blacks with darker skin and shows light-skinned privilege (aka, a combination of white privilege and racism). I don't think it visually misrepresents the book's contents. I think it's calling out our society's bias. ...more

This book kind of reminds me of Puddn'head Wilson by Mark Twain because the main female character has black ancestry but looks white, and people don't realize she's black until she starts talking. Then, they treat her differently because she has black cultural features. (less)

Review: The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters

I'm going to be the bitch today. Excuse me for a minute while I pour my Rosé wine and gather my thoughts for a minute...

What I mean is that I feel terrible that I didn't like this book. I should have liked this book and I didn't. I really enjoyed it at the start. Because I loved it so much in the beginning, I just didn't think it would end so badly. So today, in this review, I'm just going have to admit: I'm a total bitch.

Do you remember when The English Patient came out? Or rather, do you remember when the Seinfeld episode about The English Patient came out? (Elaine goes to see it and HATES it, and is either shunned or dragged back to the theater to rewatch because everyone else loves it. She ends up getting sent to Tunisia by her boss, J. Peterman, because the movie was filmed there. Cameo by Holly the waitress/witch from True Blood playing a waitress.)

I had honestly decided to forgo reviewing Otoyomegatari because anything I would write could in no way faithfully reflect what I feel about this manga series or how much I adore Mori sensei.

I was introduced to the works of Kaoru Mori back in 2006 through Animax when I watched Emma: A Victorian Romance for the first time. I was 12; innocently fascinated with anime and a budding Anglophile. To me, Emma was the perfect amalgamation of things I loved the most- history, anime, and...more

Nothing in it that would necessarily ruffle any feathers in Teen (except perhaps in a very, very conservative community), but definitely would be a fun addition to an Adult collection (and written at a level adults will enjoy). (less)
