@realityasylumreads even though I’m vegan I didn’t think about this from that perspective. I mean like briefly but not as the focus. Maybe that’s weird.
I left a comment (not review) on this book where I found this quote: “Tender Is the Flesh is a meditation on what capitalism is – it teaches us to naturalise cruelty….Capitalism and cannibalism are almost the same, you know?” —from the author.
You've Got to Be Kidding Me!: Perimenopause Symptoms, Stages & Strategies" is the go-to, take-anywhere …
Not for me
No rating
The nerd in me was really excited to read a perimenopause book, thankfully I have two others to follow up on that will hopefully be more informative and less redundant.
Some positives - she stresses advocating for yourself and highlights key topics related to perimenopause. I am sure it will be useful to many people and it is a pretty quick read.
Things I didn’t enjoy:
-Unfortunately this felt like reading a blog post or click-bait news article. It was like a bad combo of self help and popsci.
-I don’t need someone to remind me constantly about something they wrote about in a previous chapter. I get that people may jump around on topics of interest, but maybe just briefly reference the chapter number if you are that concerned that the reader may have forgotten. Or omg is that a play on perimenopause brain fog?! Anyways, overall super repetitive. …

- It truly bums me out that a book on this topic uses incorrect anatomical terms. Especially since she stresses the importance of understanding these terms and talking about your health. See page 164: “…and labia minora (your inner vagina) to become less responsive.” Noooo :( that is not your vagina and especially not your inner vagina.
I have more to say but I’ll leave it at that and will hopefully find a more useful book on the topic.

I am about a third of the way through this. It’s pretty basic and repetitive so far. Also I don’t need to know what brand of vitamins she’s taking. I feel like I am reading blog posts and not a book.

I, on the other hand, have had so little love that it seems to me like a delicate jewel, and I’m terrified of losing it. My fear is not just that I’ll misplace it, like an earring on a night of sex or sweaty dancing, it’s that it will evaporate and vanish like alcohol.

another book I had paused on so I could give it more of my attention during summer. I’m getting totally sucked into this story now. I keep saying 'ok last page and then I'm going to sleep' but then I’m 10 more pages in.
