A woman as universally known as publicly denounced, Ono’s story ranges from childhood neglect to bottomless grief. @david_sheff emphasizes Ono’s triumphs, altering the world’s antagonistic narrative.

Thank you @SimonBooks!

Levings writes about the recovery from religious abuse with openness and conviction, interspersing personal stories with reflections on healing. She offers a unique gift: her solidarity.

If you're looking for a “glory days” sports #memoir, move right along. “For the Love of the Grind” isn't a retrospective success narrative; it’s an authentic, grounded tale of staying power—into the present—from one of the best in our sport.

Emotions like anger, envy, and shame aren’t problems to eliminate but signals worth paying attention to.

I applaud the author for bringing our darker sides to the foreground without shame.

The most destructive individuals aren't rare outliers blowing up entire systems—they are the ones who strategically bend them until they snap.

Instead of treating grief as a problem to be solved or a hurdle to overcome, Bordas writes about it as a space we inhabit, sometimes for a very long time.

We spend decades on running more, better—but we rarely talk about the retirement. When our social life and mental health are tethered to the Sunday long run, losing them isn't just physical; it’s an identity crisis.

A story about the damage our youth incurs when we prioritize competition over mental and physical health.

Filmmaker Abel Ferrara tells his #story of rising to cinematic fame while battling drug addiction. I found the raw, unvarnished street gangster narration hard to read but enjoyed Ferrara’s humility.

@The_Temz_Review I am so torn myself. For now, I have both. The two or three likes I get when I log on over there every three months are worth it, aren't they? :)

Thank you for the mention! 🤍

Read @creativerunning's review of Su Chang's The Immortal Woman (pub. @HouseofAnansi) in Issue 32!

It is a beautiful exploration of personal conflict at the intersection of family, politics, and culture, seen through the eyes of two remarkable women...

Book review #published—thank you Temz Review and @HouseofAnansi! In Su Chang's #debutnovel, political and cultural conflict shape a family.. from oppression during the Cultural Revolution to freedom in North America.

After quitting competition in her 20s, @KeiraDAmato couldn’t #run for more than 90 seconds, but then, against the odds, broke the American marathon record at age 37. Her #story isn’t linear—it explores grief, motherhood, identity, and resilience.

An exciting new #biography on @Lin_Manuel, creator of "Hamilton," is in the works over at @SimonBooks! I loved the in-depth narration on Miranda's humble background and passion, leading to international fame.

In her #memoir, @leefromamerica recounts her ups and downs as a wellness influencer, leading her to fame but also an exacerbation of an #eatingdisorder. A page turner uncovering the dangers of social media.

An Oral History of Atlantis by Ed Park turned out to be a quick but indulging #read, hopping from one curious #shortstory to the next. Park writes delightful literary prose that packs subtle humor and everyday societal malheurs.

From Jeff Hiller, comedian and leading actor in "Somebody, Somewhere," a stunning #autobiography.

If you're like me, not all that enthused by gaudy #celebritymemoirs, this one might hit home.

@librelitmag I responded but no need to reward me!! You're doing great! Don't sell yourself short. 🤍🫂

[Mona Angéline @creativerunning]

@librelitmag Don't sell yourself short. You did nothing wrong. I mean maybe I missed something but it can't be that bad. Trolls on the internet will always have an opinion. Keep your course, I'm so excited that you exist and put your heart and soul into @librelitmag. 🤍
