Belated #libraryhaul- even if I‘m in the middle of three other books and classes start in a week, I‘m an eternal book optimist- I will I have time to read these!! Especially since the tagged was so hyped by @Liberty - I just couldn‘t resist it.

Came across an interview with the tagged book‘s author, Tupelo Hassman. Sounds like a page turner. Link to the interview - https://themillions.com/2019/08/little-islands-of-faith-the-millions-interviews-...

I want to take a moment to remind you that gods with a little g by Tupelo Hassman is out on Tuesday, and it is Genius with a big G. I don‘t even possess the words in my vocabulary to describe what an amazing experience it was to read this incendiary novel of youth and grief and yearning. It perfectly captures how stupid, immediate, and confusing it feels to be a teenager. I loved it with the heat of a thousand suns. ☀️🔥❤️

I requested Gods with a little g because I absolutely loved Girlchild. This novel has the same grit and glory all wrapped up in a fabulous package (the cover is absolutely perfect once you read the book). The brilliance of this book is that there is much healing of individuals and community within its pages. #netgalley

The idea of starting my staycation this weekend is no longer a possibility, because I still have too much work, so I am cheering myself up by picking another book I plan to read when it does start. I am so excited for this one because I loved GIRLCHILD! And the cover is 😂🔥❤️.
