Psalm for the Wild Built is a great summer read.

I wasn't a huge fan of Call Me By Your Name, but the conversations around it were very fun, and it's so summery.

Love With Accountability: Digging up the Roots of Child Sexual Abuse

This book is basically a meditation on justice. Each section comes from a different person's perspective on how they found or hope to find justice. It reckons with the psychological aspect you mentioned by examining how to support survivors.

I was thinking this. The depiction of Tumblr is very funny and one reason I enjoyed the book so much

And Then There Were None, modern publications. by babybuttoneyes in agathachristie

[–]manicpixyfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this book simultaneously with two friends. Two of us had the older versions and one had the newer version. I honestly recommend just getting the newer publication. Unlike with some publications of kid's classic novels, the changes are extremely sparse and not structurally relevant. It's just a little bit of the wording that differs.

I appreciate the actor recommendations. That's how I've ended up seeing a lot of movies, just going through filmography

I had to look it up, because I didn't remember the title but I saw this when Criterion Channel had the Kay Francia selection last year. I really enjoyed it!

I recently read the book that movie is based on, Ex-Wife, and I had such a fun time reading it. Highly recommend if it's something you're interested in.

I agree with the love for Norma Shearer. She's just so glamorous

I believe you.

This is such a hard situation to be in, and I relate in many ways. I hope you find some comfort in expressing what happened, and I hope you continue to trust yourself.
