Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary | Toshio Meronek, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

#NonfictionNovember is here!
#WeeklyForecast

I am halfway into the tagged would like to finish tomorrow.
I am planning on reading one chapter from Far From The Tree a day, there are 12 chapters but I am looking realistically at a full 2 weeks I understand it is a dense one.

Supplementing with the brilliant Ta-Nehisi Coates and the inspiring Jacinda Ardern

ncsufoxes The Message was really good. I‘ve had Far From the Tree sitting on my shelf for years. I need to finally read it. I‘ve read lots of books about disability & mental health but this is one that I have not tackled yet. 17h

ChaoticMissAdventures @ncsufoxes it's a pretty intimidating chunckster. But I am 50 pages in and it is easily digestible. Many people here really love it. 17h

Happy #AllHallowsReadSwap day! Looking forward to these haunted house books. I love that the covers have similar color schemes. And that ghost‘s face was all of us dealing with 90° weather halfway through October. I‘m glad the freezer saved him (he was delicious)? ? Thank you @LeslieO happy #AHRS

Like a Sister | Kellye Garrett

I was not far into this story before deciding the title of book is such a tell. And then deciding no, it‘s a red herring. Then no, it's a tell. Then okay, just calm down and read to the end. … I also did a stereo listen with the audio since I love the voice Bahni Turpin brings to an author‘s characters.

Eggs Great photo tableau! I like Bahni too❣️ 1w

marleed @Eggs Thank you! Her narrations always add to the story ❤️ 1w

Before I Let Go | Kennedy Ryan

Our traumas, the things that injure us in this life, even over time, are not always behind us. Sometimes they linger in the smell of a newborn baby. They surprise us in the taste of a home-cooked meal. They wait in the room at the end of the hall. They are with us. They are present. And there are some days when memories feel more real than those who remain, than the joys of this world 💔

Reggie Omg I loved this book, and the Skyland series as a whole. She‘s sooo good. 1mo

BittersweetBooks it was really good, looking forward to the second book! Which book is your favorite from the series? @Reggie 1mo

Reggie It‘s this one, but only because before I read it, I had been to 6 funerals in one year and the last one had really hit me hard. And for 3 months I just felt like I could cry at any moment but when I read this I felt like I was going to grief counseling with the MCs. After reading it, I felt so much better. The next two are awesome but this one holds a place in my heart. 1mo

BittersweetBooks Oh wow, I‘m so sorry! That sounds like an incredibly tough time. I can understand why this one would be special to you. I really appreciated the way Kennedy depicted grief throughout this book. @Reggie (edited) 1mo

Unapologetic: A Black, Queer, and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements | Charlene Carruthers

pick

Unapologetic reminded me that Black queer women are the blueprint. I felt seen, held, and called to action. This book isn‘t just theory—it‘s a lived mandate for liberation, organizing, and reimagining our future. Tender, powerful, and necessary. I took my time with it, and it was worth every page.

The Mayor of Maxwell Street | Avery Cunningham

pan

Loved the era, but the plot dragged and left too much unexplained. Characters lacked depth, and the ending felt unresolved. Some vivid scenes, but overall it didn‘t land for me. If you're into historical fiction and don't mind ambiguity, give it a shot—otherwise, skip it.

Sparklemn Thanks for sharing this. It reminds me of the quote from Mr Rogers - “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” We need a lot of helpers these days. 💚💚💚 (edited) 2mo

Soul of the Deep | Natasha Bowen

The bones are buried deep, white against the velvet of dark water. I shudder in the cold press of the sea as I swim beneath giant rib cages. The chill has burrowed into my core, where it nestles in the pit of my stomach, settling next to the promise I made to Olokun.
