I opened the door to find some unexpected book mail! I often enter the book drawings on Goodreads and Storygraph for authors I follow, but I thought I‘d be notified if I won one. I guess not 😆 Very excited to read this dense graphic novel and to have it in my collection.
pickI loved Trees! It amazes me how Everett can tackle such a topic while maintaining a level of humor. Also, the chapter that is told from Trump‘s perspective is pure gold 😊
pickA short but powerful book that packs a punch; a necessary read. Each book I read on my anti-racist journey is telling the world and me the same thing. I learn something from every Black voice, every word, every page. The author shares her struggles within a sea of white from her childhood, adolescence, and as an adult. She rightfully criticizes the church and demands it let its white superiority go, demands it do more. Demands a radical love.
Inspired by @julesG ‘s comment on my #sundayfunday post…
However, one could say that any book I read #InvolvesHeist 😎

Read this book. 🤍✨ her voice, her life, her story deserves to be heard, cherished, and remembered.
Beautiful poetry and story, woven and arranged and told in a way that will stick with me for a long time. An unfolding of a life. I loved the way the poems were artistically put onto the page too. So much I could say. But her words are what matters here. Read this book. 🤍✨ #poetry
pickI only like the idea of horses in real life, but this Horse and the other characters, particularly Theo and Jarret, tugged at my heartstrings and brought tears to my eyes. Who knew the story of a horse (Lexington) would have such an impact on me? This is a story about horse racing and race in America, and it is extremely well done. The book is both sad and triumphant in turns, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tale. 🐎🎧
pickGreat story, stellar writing, and interesting. characters. Historical fiction at its best. 5*
ETA: the audio was excellent
pickThe Sum of Us was enraging in the best ways and really eye opening about some things I never thought of... like why we had to pay $120 each summer for season pool passes when I was growing up.
Almost through with the Violin Conspiracy and I feel like it shouldn't end. I wonder if there will be a movie based on it.
