The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Women door Glynnis MacNicol

Not sure what I expected (I got this book free with kindle unlimited), but it was pretty meh. Didn't deliver on the title and had a fairly narrow definition of success (pretty confined to media). Most of the stories were reasonably interesting but there was nothing tying them together and they were not relevant to me.

No one tells you this : a memoir door Glynnis MacNicol

I'm really not sure how I feel about this one. There are some passages where the author articulates some of my feelings or experiences right on, better than any explanations I've read or thought myself. But if I'm looking for assurance about my own life, this is not it. MacNicol's experiences as a single person are not my own. She's got a significant and intense network of very close friends and allies, she's living her dream in New York and jetsetting on some pretty amazing adventures. So while I relate to her acknowledgement of happily living an alternate life that women are not brought up to imagine as an option (ie, being satisfied as a single and not a failure simply because she is not married and/or have kids), I can't connect to her on many other levels. This story is as much about a woman dealing with her mother's decline of Parkinson's and dementia as much as accepting singlehood, about embracing the freedom to have adventures as much as accepting the children in her life belong to her friends and sister. This is not the book I thought it was going to be, or needed.… (meer)

No One Tells You This: A Memoir door Glynnis MacNicol

Okay I think I need to give up on reading books by single women as apparently I’m an alien to the group as a whole. Are there any that just live and do their thing and don’t live in a huge city and live it up and date all the time until they feel it’s finally okay to say they’re fine with being alone? I should be the most empathetic reader here yet only felt for the author’s ordeal with her mother’s disease and early death.
