AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS

was this a good book? irrelevant. did I like it? not important. what matters is that I was invested. I was shoveling popcorn in my mouth the whole time and gasping at every plot twist and couldn't stop listening for what insane thing was going to be on the next page, which is its own axis of value.

AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS

I love that Haynes looks to all sources to draw her portraits of the goddesses: ancient poetry, paintings, and sculptures, but also spacecraft, Barbie dolls, Lady Gaga music videos featuring the Muppets, and Xanadu (1980)

AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS

As an opinion piece on the importance of play and spiritual fulfillment, this book is a fantastic resource. As psychological research, I found many of the data extrapolations too speculative to give much credit (particularly egregious are an argument for a "sociogenic transmission" of gender dysphoria [165] and a suggested causal link between screen time and neurodivergence [128] which I find baffling).
