Book Binging: Books for those with vulvas

Yeah it's not as catchy but I don't like chic-lit and I don't understand why women embrace that term. I don't know any guy that goes near dick-lit.

I started this thing back in October to counter my re-occurring insomnia (it requires its own entry) and it works but what with being sick and all recently I stopped taking it and wouldn't you know it but my good friend insomnia is back. So, in the past week I've managed to get some reading done.

In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner

Ahhh. Any book about the contentious but underlain with love relationship between sisters I can relate to. Especially if there's a younger sister with a penchant for borrowing without asking. That was me for a long time. It's a weird book. It went really fast. It sucked me in before I knew it and when it was done my only reaction was "oh". The characters and the ending were forced and shallow but it's nice.

Trading Up by Candace Bushnell

O.K. a not too subtle gossipy book about real people. Candace Bushnell is the Jackie Collins of the Upper West Side.

Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner

A much better read than In Her Shoes. It's funny and surprising and the characters are much better developed. The main character has a real bite to her.
