I didn't get very far with reading the book by Colson Whitehead.
 It is soooo triggery, I just can't read it. I will most likely take this lovely book to the library and see if they'd like to have it (which I'm sure they will).

I'm reading a book that I may have gotten the rec for here. If so, thank you very much to whoever recommended it.
It's _Adventures in the Screen Trade_ by William Goldman. Yes, that William Goldman - _The Princess Bride_, _All The President's Men_, _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_. It's about how his books were made into screenplays and then into movies. It's pretty eye-opening about the ins-and-outs of film production.

I had come across some summer book club suggestions and had to put all three of them on a wait list. Well, one by one they came available, finally!
First, just finished, The Nickel Boys, written by Colson Whitehead. I thought it was a very good story, his style of storytelling, keep me very interested. My second, I'll be starting this week, Ask Again, Yes, written by Mary Beth Keane. A new York Times bestseller, about a two families, the bond between their children, a tragedy that reverberates over 4 decades, daily intimacies of marriage and the power of forgiveness. This book was recommended by Jimmy Fallon's list. And the third, I'll be picking up today. Whisper Network, written by Chandler Baker. About four powerful women working in corporate America, who band together to stop the whispers in sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. Part page turning thriller, part smart examination of the #MeToo, part feminist ralling cry. Good beach read, even as we enter fall..lol. This was a pick by Reese Witherspoon.

Got into separatism pretty heavy until...The book by a collective named SAMOIS who published "Coming to Power" that caused a large rift between SM Leatherdykes and "mainstream" lesbian seps. Many Womyn's bookstores refusing to order any lesbian SM book titles. The two cities where I saw the largest engagement between the two factions were Albuquerque and Chicago. Other separatist authors of note and worth reading are Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Mary Daly, and Whittig among others.
