For Day 10 of my nonfiction challenge, I’m happy to break it up with a highly stylized memoir that is brisk and lush. You could probably read the whole thing during one long bath. #booksky #nonfiction #bookchallenge #memoir

Every freaking day. Is he assisting or just making it harder to actually sit down at my desk? #dogsofbluesky

Let’s change things up for Day 9. Joseph Campbell’s books have informed my perspective on belief systems and storytelling since I was in college. “The Power of Myth” is such a delight to watch the whole way through. youtu.be/TV_PGJMe5gM?... #booksky #nonfiction #bookchallenge #mythology

Informal proof my life is really quiet, just how I like it. Gimme adventures, sure, but in order to have those I first need my redoubt.

Hey, it’s Day 8! More nonfiction for the discerning palate. While I don’t take this book as hard and fast dogma on one of the most mysterious fields of study, I first read it as a teen right after I had left the church. Super formative. #booksky #nonfiction #bookchallenge #neuroscience

Day 7 of 25 nonfiction titles par excellence in my library. I love this book so much I’ve given away copies twice. (I had to buy it again this week for my satisfaction.) #booksky #bookchallenge #nonfiction #michaelpollan

What, we’re now coming up on a week of nonfiction gems in my library? Day 6 brings us to one of my top books to read aloud. Bourdain’s voice is inimitable. #booksky #nonfiction #bookchallenge #kitchenconfidential

Day 5 of 25 nonfiction books in my library. Thought we could all use some laughs. A collection of brief and acerbic essays, Me Talk Pretty One Day is a perfect quick read while traveling, etc. Sedaris is proof we don’t need to take ourselves so seriously all the time. #booksky #bookchallenge

Well well, here we are on day 4 of 25 nonfiction books in my library. I didn’t plan for Braiding Sweetgrass (Robin Wall Kimmerer) to rock me in the way it did. One of those reads that feels like I picked it up at just the right time. #booksky #bookchallenge #nonfiction #books

For those of you curious about my back piece. What does it make you think of? I love hearing other interpretations of my tats. #backpiece #altgirl #inked #tattoos

Don’t worry, I would never forget about my beat up, classic copy of The Ethical Slut. This was the first book on nonmonogamy I read as a 20-something. My life had already been changed, but this helped me flesh out so much of it. I think it’s due a re-read! #booksky #books #nonfiction #bookexcerpts

And now for something totally different. I’m not a Jungian per se but I’ve read this tome thrice and each time came away with more verve than I had before. You should read it even if you’re not a woman. #booksky #nonfiction #books #bookexcerpts

Maybe I’ll try this. Day 1 of 25 nonfiction books that are in my library and/or you must read. I wish I had approached this book earlier as a teen. It’s still just as prescient and apt now as it was 30+ years ago. #booksky #books #nonfiction

Vid from 2-3 months ago, but I’m repurposing here to track my progress and shamelessly flaunt. I’ll need to take a new one soon ✨
