The Ex-Girlfriend of My Ex-Girlfriend is My Girlfriend: Advice on Queer Dating, Love, and Friendship by Maddy Court

emotional funny relaxing medium-paced

3.0

I love reading advice, for some reason I find it really soothing, and this was no exception. I loved a lot of the questions but sadly found many of the answers really lacking - which is a shame given it was a book length project, which really could have more room for more nuanced and lengthy answers than they got. Many of the best ones came from the guest advisors.

Courage Calls to Courage Everywhere by Jeanette Winterson

informative inspiring fast-paced

3.5

A short read and nothing groundbreaking, but still nice. Liked the militancy of the Pankhurst speech at the end that feels very relevant still when people are arguing that protest should be unobtrusive and polite. The audiobook is read by Winterson herself which is always a bonus because her voice is bloody lovely.
