Hello my lovely readers!
I think I'll make these "quick reviews" a regular occurrence, here on Naomi's Bookshelf. Here's another four books that I read over the past few weeks, but didn't feel like giving a full review. Let's get into it!
This collection of essays explores the "murkiness" of everyday storytelling, why it feels so good to gossip, it's religious implications and how gossip shaped pop culture...or vice versa. It covers everything from the history of gossip to how it's portrayed in the media.
* Going into this, I didn't know it was a collection of essays. Essay collections aren't particularly my favorite genre, however this was a fine audiobook. I thought it was a bit too current for my liking. Even though most of what the author talked about was from 20 years ago (Mean Girls, Britney Spears breakdown etc), it felt like it all happened yesterday. I would've appreciated a wider range of essays talking about gossip from a longer period of time and a more worldly reach. 3.5 out of 5 stars
