Some book titles are timeless-ish.

And, yes, my iPad’s cracked. How’s that for heavy symbolism? .

The truth is, I had way more fun photographing this book than I did reading it. Unfortunately, the lecturing, self-aggrandizement & false humility outweighed the funny, true moments — of which there were several. (The doorbell thing had be rolling!) Memoir is hard to get right. I really wanted to love this, but it was too much Rachel Hollis for my taste. And frankly, as someone on Goodreads wisely said, she’s not a reliable narrator; my guess if that we’ll be seeing another memoir in 10 years, reversing much of what she says in this book. Beautiful cover, though. .

The cutest thing happened yesterday. In honor of the @lbcitylibrary, Long Beach City Councilwoman @d2pearce and her daughter, Jubilee, featured a number of Jubilee’s favorite books during a Facebook Live event. Not only did they include HOW TO BE A FEMINIST (FOR LITTLE GIRLS & BOYS) in the lineup, Jubilee went on to read the whole thing! Such a sweet and fun surprise. #kidsrule
