Reading With Gabourey Sidibe
If you haven’t read Gabourey Sidibe’s fabulous memoir This Is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare, you should remedy that. Doesn’t matter whether you know her or not, it’ll be like sitting down for a tea and chat with one of the funniest women you can imagine.
And also?
She’s one of us.
Sidibe is a loud, proud book nerd, y’all. Books! Reading! She embraces those things and she’s not afraid to talk about them.
As soon as I finished her memoir over a mocha in a local cafe, having stifled a lot of laughs, I knew it was time to flip through her social media for some good book recs. I wasn’t disappointed.
Get your TBR ready. It’s time to read with Sidibe.

Just started reading a new book that begins "I didn't stop giving hand jobs cuz I wasn't good it. I stopped cuz I was the best at it." 🔥📚🔥

If you read down that thread, you’ll learn the book is Gillian Flynn’s The Grownup.
Yo, I miss all the books I read as a kid. I'm about to buy mad "Fear Street" and "Clue" books on Amazon! Shout out to R.L. Stine! ☝🏿📚
