On the Come Up | Angie Thomas

pick

How can Angie Thomas's books just get better and better? So glad I listened to this as an audiobook. It has all the vibes, all the depth and all the pain. Honestly, I, once again, felt ashamed to be born as a white person. Seriously, there's so much going wrong in this world, but this book still sends out a huge message of hope.

AnnCrystal Never be ashamed about being Caucasian. You have a heritage or heritages within you to be proud of, embrace your people's history. Be proud of the good and learn from the bad.

I am American and American Indigenous with other heritages of Mexican Indigenous and Spanish.

The Spanish has a lot of negative history with the whole “invading and conquering.“ Yet the heritage is part of me, and there is beauty there that should not be denied.

Jari-chan @AnnCrystal Thank you for your kindness - it means a lot 💖🫂 I try to do my best with the privilege I have. But I might need to search deeper to find something to be proud of when it comes to my own heritage. 2w

AnnCrystal @Jari-chan every culture has their ancient beliefs, perhaps begin there. That's what I like, and the myths...along with the dancing and the music. Best wishes on your journey 🫂😘💕💝. (edited) 2w

An historical fiction inspired by the blue-skinned people of Kentucky, coal-mining and the Pack Horse Library Service. Cussy Mary is a kind and intelligent person who happens to have blue skin. For this, she suffers as a social outcast. She creates a life for herself by bringing books to the Appalachian people and is also known as the Book Woman. A story of resiliency and tenacity in the face of unrelenting discrimination.

LoverOfLearning This was a solid historical fiction. Listened to this on audiobook for bookclub. Was a great book discussion! 2w
