pickNot my normal cup o‘ tea, but the plot ties to the American South and the enlightening look at the lesser known trades (pottery and whaling) of African slaves drew me onward. I mistakenly thought this a romance novel at the outset, but soon grasped the historical fiction supporting story arc underneath a sensitive narrative about generational trauma for black people coupled with personal tragedy and how that could shape lives.

pickMy 7th Percival Everett book. I inhaled it almost as fast as the cranberry orange scone. Every one of his books is so different—I‘m in awe of his creativity and range. This one is a story in three parts that eventually converge by the end. Loved it.
pickSupport & coping strategies that help. Classic for a reason. A resource to visit & revisit. #5stars #support #coping #resilience
pick4,5/5 ⭐
Very interesting, but unfortunately I could only follow the theoretical side; my main goal was to apply the practical side, but I couldn't do the exercises at all. The book was a bit more spiritual and political than I expected, but all in an appropriate/sensible way.
I think IFS is potentially a therapy that can get to the roots of issues instead of working top-down/just managing symptoms like many common therapies.
