Happy US publication day to @intothecrevasse, whose new book Colours of Film: The Story of Cinema in 50 Palettes is not only *gorgeous* to look at but filled to the brim with insightful analysis and a wealth of great info on the history of cinema. Out in the UK, too! https://t.co/WDBzY7pTXu

Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up

Selma Blair

Just finished Selma Blair’s Mean Baby and, lord, how moving. Messy and honest, a raw exercise in piecing a life together through writing. I’ve listened to the audiobook and it was the first time I heard an author gasp with sobs while reading, such an unexpected punch in the gut. https://t.co/h9izFiFTGF
