This is my Fall TBR... and first up... Fruit of the Drunken Tree (in Spanish) by Ingrid Rojas Contreras.

I loved this book. I love books that evoke deep emotions and emotional reactions. I love books that give me a perspective unfamiliar to me. I felt deeply, learned so much, and really did not want to let this book go. I returned it to my public library today and I want everyone to check it out!

The Bluest Eye is back on the shelf. I really really liked it. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads. I loved the writing, the prose...the way Morrison used language to create time, space, atmosphere and cultural experience for the reader. I admired the way she weaved anger and the effects of anger on the human spirit. It feel heart crushingly real to me. I am so glad to have read it. I give it my love, respect, and admiration. 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came home from the library with these two books in hand. A friend hated Morrison's The Bluest Eye and her hate for the book has propelled me to read it so we can talk about it. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian will be the book I read as dessert after The Bluest Eye. I have to reward my sensitive soul with books that provide good doses of humor and spirit. I am looking forward to the next two weeks with these books.

I finished There There by Tommy Orange on audio yesterday. It is the kind of book I am looking forward to re-reading and want to acquire a hardback and keep as a favorite in my collection. It definitely lands on my Top 5 books that I have read this year, so far.

#WITMonth:. Reading Wistawa Szymborska's Poems New and Collected. This quote is from her poem titled "Classifieds". I also really loved "Buffo" and just about every poem in this collection.

My travel stack... bookworm problem: over packing books because I just can't decide or predict my future moods... But library book is a no brainer.
