This was a wild month. I read more books than there were days in the month (just). I read A LOT of good books, but also a fair share of meh books. Talk about an adventure.

pickSuch a beautiful soul!
This is such an emotional rollercoaster. It was beautiful and heartbreaking, but also funny in places. I seriously wish we could stop policing children and labelling it “class disruption.” Children being themselves is not a disruption. It is honest. Maybe oddly, I‘m angry. I‘m so angry for this amazing human being, I‘m angry for other people living it right now, who are left with zero information about themselves and reality
This has been in my library since 2020. It‘s time to actually read it already.

so-so(2017) Six years ago, a white family's baby died while in the care of Mary's mother. The blame fell on Mary, who has just been released from 6 years in "baby jail" to a group home. But what really happened and will the truth ever out? Mixed feelings about this: it has multiple strengths but ultimately didn't work for me due to a gimmicky resolution. OTOH, the audiobook is read by Bahni Turpin, who is always a pleasure to hear.
pick(1984) Here's a collection of short pieces: anecdotes, character sketches, meditations as written by a Latina girl growing up in an urban Chicago neighborhood. The pieces are gorgeous, with language so efficient and evocative they feel more like poems than short stories. Themes of growing up, family, finding joy in a world that will casually devour you, and the tension between duties to oneself and to the community who builds one. I liked it much
