so-soUnderstandable for a book about a revolutionary abolitionist who was both cast out and voluntarily withdrew from society, but there is a lot of filler in here. The parts about Lay were interesting; the deep dives into his friends, the lives of his influences, and the page long dissections of a few sentences were less so. I skimmed a lot in the second half, but his is a good story and one worth knowing.

1. Tagged. I have had this book on my TBR for years. What a title!
2. No. I have thought about pre-ordering The Dead Cat Tail Assassins, but it is coming out around my birthday, so I will wait and see if it gets gifted. I'm considering pre-ordering 49 Miles Alone, but the library is so much cheaper :-)
“Little Women” is one of my favorite books of all time - Jo March was the first, and forever, character in whom I saw myself, even as a little kid - and so this is kind of interesting. Not as utterly amazing as the people who recommended it to me made it sound, but it‘s good so far. #march #geraldinebrooks #littlewomen #themarchfamily #civilwar #abolitionism #slavery #racism #reimaginedliterature
