This has been sitting on my shelf for a while now, it seemed like a good time to read it. Motherhood is the major theme here, and the story explores it from many directions. What makes a mother, can she ever be a mother no longer, what impact does a mother's actions (or lack of action) have on her child. At a broader level it's about family, community, love and friendship. It's an excellent novel.

TrishB Great review 👍🏻 I enjoyed this one too. 4y

Ruthiella I really liked this book! So thought provoking and real in its emotional journeys I thought. I‘m looking forward to reading her follow up The Vanishing Half this year. 4y

CarolynM @BarbaraBB I will be looking out for it. 4y

CarolynM @Tanisha_A @Cinfhen @TrishB Thanks friends🙂 4y

CarolynM @Ruthiella I found it really moving. I so wanted Nadia and Aubrey to get help to deal with their experiences. They felt so real to me that it was painful to see them suffering as they did. 4y

Reggie I really liked Luke‘s POV in here. Nice review. 4y

CarolynM @Reggie Yes, I felt I could understand Luke. I liked that his family situation, and particularly the way he was mothered, was part of the story too. 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job! 4y

Cathythoughts I havnt read this one , but I did order The Vanishing Half , as I‘ve seen it popping up on Litsy a lot lately .... looking forward to reading this author. 4y

CarolynM @Cathythoughts I've got The Vanishing Half stacked. Definitely looking forward to it after this one🙂 4y

We Set the Dark on Fire | Tehlor Kay Mejia

pick

I was starting to think I would never get a #ReadYourSign book done! But, here we are: a book with fire in the title and a main character who is VERY strong willed for #Sagittarius ♐️🔥. I also get to use this for #Booked2020 #Winter since the author is the same age I am and, thus, a #MillenialAuthor Triple bonus was that the MC was queer making it an LGBT+ book which is perfect for pride month 🏳️‍🌈

Cinfhen Yay!!! That‘s a #GrandSlam 🥳🥳🥳 4y

BennettBookworm Yay Sagittarius!! 4y

Clwojick Way to go on stacking prompts and challenges! ♥️ 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Perfect! 4y

alisiakae 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I‘ve only finished one #ReadYourSign book so far 😄 4y

Born a Crime | Trevor Noah

pick

This was a 5 star read for me! No surprise to many since Trevor Noah is so talented in his field. I highly recommend the audio version. #booked2020 #millenialauthor
I‘m not sure that I will get Set In Hollywood read in time to complete this quarter, but if anyone has a fast audio recommendation for that prompt I‘ll take it

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage, alisiakae

Cinfhen Loved this audio too!!! The BEST!!! I listened to sally Field‘s memoir/audio which was soooo good

In Pieces

Bookzombie This was so good! 5y

My Friend Anna | Rachel DeLoache Williams

This book is the perfect escape that I needed!! Alternating between print (thanks for the loan! @Reviewsbylola ) and audio while I clean, b/c I‘m dying to get to the bottom of this bizarre real life con job...
(Also the perfect pic for #booked2020 #millenialauthor )

Mtroiano I am fascinated by her story! 5y

Reviewsbylola It‘s so bizarre. Anna sounds like the last person I would ever want as a friend. She literally has zero redeeming qualities. 5y

Cinfhen I was riveted by this one too!!! 5y

She Must Be Mad | Charly Cox

pick

Great on audio. Hearing Charly read her poems, written when ages 16-22, was a moving experience. As she struggles with anxiety and depression, being uncomfortable in her body, experiencing heartbreaks and self doubt, it felt familiar. It‘s a long time since I was her age, but I‘m not sure some of us ever lose those feelings completely. I love that she quotes “our lord savior” Britney Spears in her introduction,”I‘m not a girl, not yet a woman”💕

KarenUK @booked2020 works for #millenialauthor & #thinkpink 5y

KarenUK @BarbaraTheBibliophage @cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft 5y

Cinfhen Great review 💜sounds wonderful! The ONLY rule for #Booked2020 is only one book per prompt , so you need to decide for #millennial or #ThinkPink 😘 5y

KarenUK @Cinfhen I‘m going with #thinkpink.... I‘ll use Queenie for #millenialauthor ... can still #doubledip though because it works for #pop2020 #onlywordsonthecover 👍😉 (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Yay!!! Good thinking 🎉🧡🎉🧡 5y

The Uncommon Reader: A Novella | Alan Bennett

pick

I‘ve fallen behind a bit on #booked2020 😅 but managed to escape from reality for a bit with this lovely book that I was able to #finishinaday Now to find a quick #millenialauthor read....

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage, alisiakae

BarbaraBB How are you doing? Not traveling to Europe to visit @AnnieD must be hard for all of you. Is your state in lockdown? X 5y

Cinfhen I read a book of poetry by one of those smart ass millennials but it was super quick and mildly painless xx 5y

emilyhaldi LOL @Cinfhen smart ass millenialls is right!! 5y

emilyhaldi @BarbaraBB we were definitely bummed to have to cancel our trip ? but hoping that we can reschedule for later in the year. I'm trying to enjoy the time at home for gardening and spring cleaning! ??? I have been working from home for a week but Ohio isn't in complete lockdown...Yet? Sounds like it will be another week at home atleast but then we'll see. How long are you planning to be in "quarantine"?? 5y

emilyhaldi And what about you @Cinfhen ?? Are you guys in lockdown at the moment? I haven't heard much news about Israel! (edited) 5y

BarbaraBB We‘re not in quarantaine either... yet. Now Spring is arriving and the parks and beaches were overflown with people this weekend. No social distancing at all!! I think if many more people will be infected next week because of this, we‘ll go in lockdown too. 5y

Queenie | Candice Carty-Williams

pick

So glad I stuck with this one. I wasn‘t feeling it until I got about a third of the way thru. Queenie was in all out self destruct mode and was in complete denial. It was difficult to read, but entirely realistic. Don‘t, worry: it has a good ending.

Cinfhen I‘m glad it ended well 😊 5y

BridgetteM @Cinfhen Me too! 🙂 5y
