Belle Greene | Alexandra Lapierre

Pickpick

I think the length of this one had intimidated me a bit, so I‘m so glad #Roll100 (January) got me to pick it up, because I loved it! From the first page, it yanked me into the story and I wanted to learn as much as possible about the extraordinary Belle.

sarahbarnes This sounds really good! now

Loved the story and ambiance of this book! Ady is such a cool character, and I wish Sanite was around a bit longer.

It‘s Black History Month a selection from the collection. Reminds me I need to do a major reorganization!So many titles lost in stacks , shelves & piles. I haven‘t read all of these either.

Rage | Bob Woodward
post image

I really like Bob Woodward‘s style of writing.
He couldn‘t have said it better: “The failure to organize. The lack of discipline. The undermining or the attempted undermining of so many American institutions. The unwillingness to acknowledge error. When his performance as president is taken in its entirety, I can only reach one conclusion: Trump is the wrong man for the job.”

Aims42 I fully appreciate that it looks like this book is on a garbage can 😂🗑️ 2d
AmyG I am amazed you had the fortitude to read this. Wrong for the job? Gross understatement. 2d
Sleepswithbooks @aims42 - That is EXACTLY where it‘s at!! 😂 14h

Wounded: A Novel | Percival Everett
post image
Pickpick

Percival Everett really is a must read.

Wounded is a modern western about John, a black horse trainer who lives with his uncle in Wyoming. He is tolerated but when a gay man is brutally murdered the atmosphere in town turns grimly. John cannot ignore it. In the mean time his life gets busy with guests on his farm, animals and love.
And all his characters are so fabulous again. I am saying it again: I love Everett!

Christine What a photo and great review! ❤️ 3d
BarbaraBB @Christine Thank you 💕 3d
Suet624 This sounds just up my alley. A horse trainer, a farm, animals, love. Come on, Percival! 3d
BarbaraBB @Suet624 It‘s an oldie (2005) so I guess one of your libraries must have a copy waiting for you! 3d
Suet624 Well, believe it or not, none of them have it. I just ordered a copy from Blackwells. 3d

Boy, if I were the type to look up every word and reference I don‘t understand while reading this book (“the first Proustian zombie novel” —Slate) and then practice using them, my vocab would be 🔥

🧐

Reggie This is how I feel when I read Kassandra Khaw. Her $100 words put me to work! 3d
Michael_Gee @Reggie Do you look them up and incorporate them into your vocab? 3d
