1. Back and forth.
2. Tagged. I was recommended this book a few years back and it honestly helped so much.

This book could‘ve been a little bit shorter, but overall, it‘s a good book. It‘s dark but hope shines through at the end. Whitaker deals with the theme of how what happens to someone in the past can impact not only them but those around them far into the future.

Suet624 I really like Whitaker‘s books. 20h
KathyWheeler @Suet624 This is the first one I‘ve read. 20h
KathyWheeler @Suet624 I‘ll check it out. Thanks! 13h

My leg hates me — same leg as my knee but this time it‘s my thigh. No idea what I did, but it‘s too painful to walk on or stand very long at all. So here‘s my reads for #weekendreads. I‘ll probably only finish The Serviceberry since it‘s short. Maybe All the Colors of the Dark. The others are: How the White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove Back, The Cloister Walk, and Mina‘s Matchbox.

Suet624 I‘m sorry to hear your leg hurts. I hope things improve for you soon. 💕 4d

The temperature got up in the 40s today; I walked with my jacket open for a good portion of my walk. That‘s a Mardi Gras snowman in the pic. 😊 While I like this book, I can‘t figure out why I still have over 4 hours left. What‘s left to tell that would take that long? #audiowalk

In light of the executive order made by our uninformed new president, declaring that there are only two genders, I would like to help fellow readers become better educated. Here are six books written by and/or centering on the experiences of non-binary and transgender people. I wish I had a recommendation with some intersex representation, but I can‘t think of anything at the moment. Feel free to suggest other great books in the comments below.

AmyG Thank you. 1w
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I use the hashtag #TransBooks when I post about books by trans authors, there are a lot of great books there. One of my favourite (trans) authors is Kai Cheng Thom. 1w
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I'm going to tag a few recent books by intersex authors! 1w

HeatherBookNerd Thanks @WorldsOkayestStepMom I forgot about Middlesex too. I read it years ago. 1w

Amiable Great list —thanks for posting this! Here‘s one that I enjoyed: (edited) 1w
HeatherBookNerd @Amiable all excellent recommendations! 1w
Reggie I‘m always shocked when they say their party is about freedom but really it‘s only about guns cause they‘re all too happy to tell women and trans people what to think about their bodies. Thanks for the recs. 7d
HeatherBookNerd @Reggie yes, this administration seems to be making it a priority on day one to control as many non-male bodies as possible. It‘s been a hard few days. 7d

Boy, was it a bit chilly this morning! When I went to walk, it was technically 40°, which I can do with a light jacket; however, the “feels like” temp was 29°, so I had to layer a bit AND wear a jacket and a hat. The characters in this book are just making me so sad for them all. #audiowalk

Totally insane, with a perfectly unsatisfying ending

I‘m enjoying this book, but I sometimes get a little lost for a minute with the jumps in time. We are supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow and then snow, so I‘m trying to get in my #audiowalk while I can!

Bookwormjillk Snow? Haven‘t I seen alligators in your pictures before? Good luck with that! 2w
KathyWheeler @Bookwormjillk Yes — you‘ve definitely seen alligators in my pics before. Snow is extremely unusual down here. It was 70° F today but is supposed to get down into the 20s. 2w
Bookwormjillk @KathyWheeler yikes! Those two things shouldn‘t go together! 1w
KathyWheeler @Bookwormjillk no, they should not! 1w

A magnificent book and a remarkable human. If only stories like this were mandatory reading.

SUCH an annoying bunch of people who keep ignoring their telephones and keep making stupid, hysterical decisions. All because of the kidnapping of their father decades earlier? I don‘t even want to know. I feel as irritated as I did when reading Fleishman. Although I managed to finish that one.
Note to self: ignore future works by this author!!

TheBookHippie I felt exactly the same. Bamboozled. 2w
ShyBookOwl 😅 2w
Ruthiella It‘s a relief for me to know there‘s an author I can skip because we aren‘t ever going to get along. It makes that enormous pile of potential titles just a little bit smaller. 2w

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie Glad to know that!! 2w
TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB if we both don‘t like it 🫣😵‍💫🤪 that says A LOT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️ 2w
BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie Definitely! 2w
Magpiegem I felt like this about her last book 😂 2w
Reggie Nooooooo don‘t say that. I bought this the other day. But I did like her other book. So there‘s that. 2w
BarbaraBB @Magpiegem You mean Fleishman? I hated that one too. And It‘s practically the same. Rich people nagging 😩 2w
BarbaraBB @Reggie Then you‘ll probably like this one. It‘s basically the same book 🤣 2w
Magpiegem @BarbaraBB yes! I had really high hopes for it, but I was so glad when it was over 😂 2w
CarolynM I didn‘t hate Fleishman but I didn‘t like it enough to want to read anything else she might write 😆 2w
sarahbarnes Oh boy - I have this one on hold right now. I haven‘t read Fleishman but this doesn‘t make me want to read this one… 2w
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I am not very subtle and many people like it but I‘d say forget about it. So many better books out there! 2w
Suet624 Wow! Taking a stand! 😂😂 I‘ve been shying away from this one even though I liked Fleischman. So I‘m glad to hear your opinion. 1w
