Listened to this in one sitting. Riveting! Definitely do audio!
Now and Not Yet: Pressing in When You're Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More by Ruth Chou Simons
slow-paced

I enjoyed some the liturgy and scripture references but i’m not sure there was enough content for a book here. It eventually felt repetitive to me.
Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire by Ashley Spencer
5.0
I love Disney Channel! I’m so glad I grew up during its heyday. This book could have been 500 pages longer and I would have read every word. All of this brought me so much joy as a kid and I’m grateful a piece of the history is captured in this book!
The book is written for general audiences. I wanted even more depth, but I love what’s here!

Lovely One: A Memoir by Ketanji Brown Jackson
4.0
She is an amazing, inspiring individual. I am happy she is on the Supreme Court. That being said, this book was not my favorite. Much of the story felt wordy and detached. I appreciate her story, but something about the writing style did not connect with me.
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

“you can’t f with a woman who knows how to pray.”
obviously a lot is “left out,” but after everything, i’m glad she got to choose what she shared. she deserves the world!

Recovering from Purity Culture: Dismantle the Myths, Reject Shame-Based Sexuality, and Move Forward in Your Faith by Dr. Camden Morgante
3.75
3.75 --I think this book is useful as a collection of sources about the effects of purity culture. I am not sure this is the most helpful resource I have found regarding this topic. It seems that there is a very niche audience for this book: those who were harmed by purity culture and are now evangelical and married. Other groups were mentioned briefly, but the author seems to want to highlight practical ways to heal in marriage. This topic makes sense in light of her research interests, but the title suggests it would be more broad. The information shared is healing and helpful. This is definitely not trying to spread harm. I appreciate attempts to include marginalized folks' interpretations of purity culture. Ultimately, have found more exhaustive, generative discussions about this topic in other resources.
