Primates of Park Avenue: A Memoir by Wednesday Martin

Just finished "The End of Fashion" by Teri Agins. As it was published around 1999/2000, its analysis of the fashion world 'ended' there, so it's very interesting not only to see an account of what you remember from the time, but to read it knowing how the stores and brands have fared since then.

The writer was not a fan of Donna Karan.

Petals on the Wind by V.C. Andrews, absolute trash and a nostalgic read because I needed something that didn't require thinking. It is terrible and I love it.

fiction: Ruthless Vows, by Rebecca Ross. It's got this vintage-WWII-meets-fantasy feel that I find really addictive, like the heroine wears trench coats, uses a typewriter and has shoes that sound like they're 1940s brogues.

non fiction: Orientalism, by Edward Said.

I finished Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward and started Lola in the Mirror by Trent Dalton

The Last Word by Taylor Adams

just finished re-reading Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers - was trying to work out whether it was too advanced for a 7 year old child's birthday present (I think yes). I find I enjoy book Mary more than Disney Mary.
