rainbowunicorn_readsHere are our LGBT-themed books, not including books by Winterson:
We went to MOA today for lunch, and had the mandatory Booksale visit. For around Php500, we were able to buy nine fantastic books:
See that Didion there? I almost shrieked (in fact, I think I did, a little, heh) when I found it hidden at the back, I've been obsessing about this after reading her piece on why she keeps a notebook here, and Kate's a huge Didion fan.
"French or Foe" aims to make the reader understand the French culture more, giving helpful advice and useful phrases.
"Deep Down" is an anthology of sensual writing by women. The gf had "Sex and Writing" for her elective back in college, and most of the stories they discussed and analyzed came from this book.
"Loving Wanda Beaver" includes a novella with its short stories, and the book blurb mentioned something about the girl getting the girl, and for only Php10, it was quite a steal.
Natalie Goldberg, author of "Writing down the bones", wrote "Wild Mind: Living the Writer's Life", and it reminded us of "Bird by Bird" and had creative writing tips.
I've long wanted to get my grubby hands on a copy of "The Glass Castle" and "Bee Season" et Voila! Who'd have thought I'd chance upon both in one day, in one branch? :)
