The Message was my favorite book of February (although Between the World and Me could easily tie). I‘m also a fan of Ta-Nehisi Coates‘ work, in general. #12Booksof2025

My #jolabokaflodswap with detail of the beautiful presentation (I kept the book paper to use on future gifts!). I can't wait to curl up with some dark chocolate treats and see what this book I've been hearing so much about is like. Thank you so much, @LMJenkins !

#DashingThruDecember Day 25: The #Red book is the one I need to get to early next year, that‘s for sure. I wish to find all the other titles in this list, too! The #Red book is the only one I own. 😍
pickThis is a beautifully written inditement of a society and individuals willing to support a genocide. As someone who felt like the little I did made no difference, this was an inspiring read.
Palestinian poet Rasha Abdulhadi: “Wherever you are, whatever sand you can throw on the gears of genocide, do it now. If it‘s a handful, throw it. If it‘s a fingernail full, scrape it out and throw. Get in the way however you can”.
The camp's sandy alleyways have so far only led her round in circles, like a maze, always back to where she started. The only route that didn't feel like it was a trick was the one to school each morning. She strode towards it, proudly, rebelliously, convinced it would lead her out of there, in the end, to finish her studies elsewhere.
She cannot hear the chaos of her five sisters running around her....
She is too engrossed in her books.
pick(2025) This is one of the more important books I've read this year, and it consolidates a lot of my own thoughts and misgivings about my country's place in the world. It's about Gaza, but not just about Gaza, more broadly about the many theaters where the current world order is based on dehumanization and violence against people whom it has found advantageous to think of as not-people. No comfortable read, but eye-opening and compelling.
pickThought-provoking. Difficult at times to read but necessary.
bailedI had to bail at page 63, the spin was making me too dizzy to keep reading.
