 Book 5 of my 2026 Reading Challenge

read from January 2 - 8

ScreenAge: How TV Shaped Our Reality

From Tammy Faye to Rupaul's Drag Race

by Fenton Bailey

published 2022

3 stars

I received this book for Christmas after seeing an announcement from WOW about it.  It was a signed copy which was an unexpected surprise.

I didn't realize how prolific Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, as well as their production company World of Wonder, are and how long they've been producing.  To me, WOW = RPDR and that's not the case.  They've been involved in many documentaries covering a wide range of subjects.

I'm rating it 3 stars because it wasn't what I expected (I mistakenly thought it would be a more well-rounded book, not just about his personal experiences) and my mind wandered at times but I did learn and it would be very interesting to the right audience.

Ways This Book Met my 2026 Reading Goals:

- 5th book read in 2026 (my goal is 100)

- A book I received for Christmas 2025 (my goal is to read all my Christmas 2025 books by the end of 2026)

- A book I own that is leaving my house for a new reader to find (my goal is to declutter and make progress on whittling down my shelves/boxes of books in my house)

- Title starting with 'S' (I'm doing an A-Z title challenge)
