pickThis is a beautiful collection of poems inspired and influenced by Maya Angelou's faith and love for humanity, and listening to her read them is a joy. Amazing Peace is such a gorgeous, moving poem to listen to at Christmas. (and I have to say, I wasn't expecting eulogies to Luther Vandross and Barry White.)
pickBook #17 of 2025: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou
This was one of those books I always meant to read but just finally got around to. It‘s beautiful, sad, rich, and full of wisdom. We are better for having had Maya Angelou in the world.
Today is another wonderful day for a celebration and our Litten of the Day is… @mabell !

Another theme of this book is family ties. For the Quinn siblings life has always been complicated. Especially because of their mother Rozelle. Will they be able to overcome everything that they have gone through to break generational trauma?
