“I am done living in a world where women are lied to about their bodies; where women are objects of sexual desire but not subjects of sexual pleasure; where sex is used as a weapon against women; and where women believe their bodies are broken, simply because those bodies are not male. And I am done living in a world where women are trained from birth to treat their bodies as the enemy.”

Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski

CBR Bingo – Sex I started reading this book in December. I finished reading it in July and began this review in August. And I’m here today to finally get it to the finish line. What has taken me so long? This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill book review procrastination, nay, I have a confession to make. I am 41 years old, and I am super duper uncomfortable talking about sex. But I finally bit the bullet and posted a reel review to Instagram where it […]

Burnout, or, Why to Stick It to the Man

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia Nagoski

July 26, 2021 by msvreadsbooks Leave a Comment

This is my “Self Care” bingo entry.  I just finished reading Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski. I’ve read so many self-help/self-empowerment/self-care books, that I feel like Burnout wasn’t necessarily presenting me with information that I didn’t already know, but it was putting together information that I already know in a surprising way.  Burnout is written by two sisters – Emily and Amelia Nagoski – and it is specifically aimed at woman-identified people and the specific stressors we […]

Probably a must-read for any humans who have sex (and some who don’t! and just like learning!)

Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski

January 9, 2020 by narfna 3 Comments

I actually first heard about this book from Alyssa Cole. When she visited the Tucson Festival of Books last year, I went to a panel she was on about consent being sexy, and she mentioned that she was reading it, and had learned a lot of things people assume about women’s sexuality was wrong. I put it on my TBR but just never got around to it, despite sexuality being one of my favorite things to read about. Luckily one of my IRL book club […]

“I read romance to experience hope.”

July 31, 2017 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

A note before we get started: I am reviewing both parts of Emily Foster’s duology The Belhaven Series. I will likely get a bit spoilery about these two books, as their author set out to do an interesting thing, and did it. These books were on my radar because of Malin’s reviews from last year (#BlameMalin). Well, specifically her review of the first book, How Not to Fall. I was particularly intrigued by the fact that the book ends both on a cliffhanger, and that […]
