With historical fiction I never know how I feel about the book until the historical/author’s notes. I struggled with this one, but I am so glad I finished it. I went from not knowing the name Jessie Fauset to I must know all about her life. That’s a sign of great historical fiction. #blackbooksky

Messy messy worth it or nah

Just scrolling Apple News and still in the Year of our Lord 2025 😒

Can’t y’all use AI to tell them apart if it’s too difficult for your naked eyes #blacksky

SAME! After my last read, me and Frieda are on a break

Can someone tell me if this book is truly a work of fiction because I need to know how thoroughly to hate some living people or not #blackbooksky

A surprise best book of 2024
This book brought me to tears while teaching me about my heritage
If a songwriter that educates in her field who also writes novels releases a memoir, strap in because it’s about to get real
A million thanks to Alice Randall for opening her heart to me #blackbooksky

I know this shouldn’t be new information at my big age
How am I just learning “(Sittin’ On) the Dock of the Bay” was a posthumous release
The Stax documentary whew

Snap decision to start my first Scandal rewatch
Early 2025 will be marked with wine, elbow length leather gloves and capes

I did 4.25 so basically 4

I rated it in the moment and felt so guilty when I went back and revisited the rating. When I tell you it’s taking everything to leave it and not change it to five stars. I struggle when it is a five star book but my personal experience is not five stars

YES! I seriously thought I was the only one who had zero idea what this was about and also found it very upsetting. Dominic Hoffman’s narration was my only saving grace. The book is excellent [full stop] I need to prepare myself for this subject matter in advance

I saw someone refer to the South African sad sack as Leon Skum and I’ll never see that name as anything else
My apologies to the legit Leons

What you pouring? I’m finishing a bottle of Grenache I started last night

the nerve

Libby is a great excuse to purchase a kindle

So beautiful! Every natural girlie knows this feeling in their bones

I just did this. Casually enjoying books that have 15 days left on Hoopla then rushing to finish a loan withering away on Libby that I don’t remember borrowing.
