Pretty excited about my current to read list

I just got approved for a couple NetGalleys and, you guys, I am preeeeeeetty excited about my current reading stack and thought I would share. Plus this buys me some time to work on my Cuckoo's Calling review, which I should really get to. #procrastinationftw

But anyway, check out my current "I am reading this" list:

The Notorious RBG by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik (this one isn't a NetGalley but I'm reading it now and it fits)

It's Up To The Women by Eleanor Roosevelt

Virgin Envy: The Cultural (In)Significance of the Hymen by Jonathan Allan, Cristina Santos, and Adriana Spahr

I am going to be SO MUCH FUN. The books are all on my ereader so unfortunately people won't get to see the covers but maybe people will ask me what I am reading. And then regret interrupting me.

That is a MOST excellent reading list. Yay! I've not read any of them, but I've paged through Notorious RBG quite a few times when shelving books at the store.

Notorious was good. Not dry (which I'm sure you could guess from the cover) and lots of citations, quotes from RBG and family/friends/coworkers, some of her dissents and opinions with commentary.

Virgin Envy! That sounds so good! I read Hanne Blank's book about virginity a few years ago and thought it was terrific, and I'd totally re-up on that. I will LOOK INTO IT.

Thus far this has been excellent, assuming you are in for academic writing about the textual hymen (which I am FOR).

Well so long as you are thinking about or browsing through or looking across the room at books, then you're practically working on the review you'd planned to write, right? Hope you enjoy your new finds!

Yes exactly! It's pretty much the same thing!
