Action: A Book About Sex

While I enjoyed this book I found the writing style to be a bit much. Amy Rose Spiegel uses a lot of "millennial" vernacular which isn't awful, but the prose can be very tough to read and long winded. You can open to any page and find a sentence that's just way over written. This book is a look at bedroom etiquette, hooking up, sexual dos and donts, personal stories, getting your freak on, and other sexy shenanigans. I was surprised when I discovered that the author is only 23, she has certainly, seen experienced, and done more than I probably ever will. Certain sections are laugh out loud funny and amusing and other sections dealing with consent and rape are definitely more sobering. This book will appeal to younger free spirited millennials and wasn't awful, but wasn't quite my cup of tea either.

Miss Mina Murray's Little Book of Better Burlesque

After backing the kickstarter for this book I was expecting a little something bigger, but as the adage goes, size doesn't always matter. This cute little edition is filled with some truly helpful tips that even non-performing burlesque dancers (like myself) will utilize; how to get rhinestones out of the carpet, how to quickly chill champagne, how to straighten seams. Written by "the Martha Stewart of Burlesque" this guide is compact and dead useful. A must read for performers and a fun read for those of us without the magic talents :)
