"I saw there was a second South. My whole life I‘d only seen one. I loved my South, though I could see how it was broken, plagued still with the legacies of slavery and war and segregation. History and a thousand unseen walls divided up the territory . . ." Pic of the real Monroeville (Harper Lee's Maycomb). I suspect there are many similarities with Jackson's Birchville. #truth #SisterLove

There is a lot of #SisterLove between Elinor & Marianne in Sense and Sensibility & the tagged book, a fun retelling read this month for #JaneAustenThenAndNow with the #Pemberlittens
We may not be related by blood, but she is definitely my sister!! #sisterlove #feelinthelove @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
“This was the kind of night where it would be easy to slip from grace and, honestly, she was tired of the fall. It hurt too much to land.”

pick#FeelinTheLove Day 26: #SisterLove - This shared womanity or sense of girlhood is evident in the tagged book I read for #DecolonizeBookshelves - irrespective of one‘s skin color, to be female is to belong to “the ranks of the wretched.” One of the really great titles I read from the list of “Decolonize Your Bookshelf in 50 Books.” My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-opq

“Books light the fire—whether it‘s a book that‘s already written, or an empty journal that needs to be filled in.”
—Meg Wolitzer
That quote was on the birthday card my sister gave me, along with books and journals. When she visited a bookstore in Palm Beach, Fl, there was a book signing of some YA authors. Some of the books she gifted to me. ❤️📚
