Read this today. Harriet Tubman comes back to present days and connects with a music producer to tell her story of life and slavery. Sounds weird but it worked….very good book.

This is so creative I love it. I learned a ton about Tubman (googling along the way). Bob can sure tell a story even if his writing was a bit simplistic for my normal book tastes. The characters are well drawn and the story is propulsive.
I was a bit confused with how the comebacks knew about certain niche things but not more common ones. But I love that he was like " they just came back and now they are here and here we go!"
1858-1925. William Dorsey Swann was an American activist. An African-American born into slavery, Swann was the first person in the United States to lead a gay resistance group and the first known person to self-identify as a "queen of drag".
Why am I learning important American history from Bob The Drag Queen? Swann sounds amazing and I want her movie!
I am finishing this today and thinking about all the things I was never taught about Harriet Tubman.
* She was called Moses during her railroad days, but she also had a brother named Moses who she freed from the same plantation she was enslaved in.
* She lived to be 93 years old
* She was beat by her enslavers wife so badly she developed epilepsy or narcolepsy
* Most of the people she freed were her own family, she has 8 siblings
Feeling a bit indecisive for this #weeklyforecast we will see what happens!
Started the tagged ARC which is fun, also almost done with Bellies (currently in my purse in the other room, started Ours which is a bit to verbose for my current mood, and went to the bookstore and started The First Sister last night when I needed a space book 😂📚
