Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? By Crystal Smith Paul 5βοΈ this was deeper & richer than I anticipated! Race, class, gender, & familial ties are skillfully explored. This story felt so real especially since Iβve known so many who pass in my life. This should be a show! #52bookclub #booksky #readinggoal

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman 5βοΈ I read this for International Womenβs Day and so glad I did. This book explores incarceration & dehumanization w 40 women trapped in a bunker. Harpman fled Nazi Germany so this book is shaped by her own experiences #booksky #booktok #fivestarread

As we honor Womenβs History Month, letβs remember the strength and resilience of enslaved women who fought for freedom and shaped history. Their resilience continues to inspire the fight for justice today. 165 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Iβm obsessed with these sweet childrenβs books by K. OβNeill. Sometimes itβs nice to kick back with something simple yet poignant. Aquicorn Cove is about the importance of being stewards for the environment and learning to live in harmony with nature πͺΌ there is even a board game! #readmore #booksky

Iβve never done a reading challenge before and I have been LOVING the 52 Book Club Challenge. I highly suggest checking it out. Outside of the 52 prompts for the main year, there are also mini challenges released through the year. This is really helping me get through my TBR in a fun way! #booksky

One of the worst things is when youβre so pumped for a book and end up bored through the whole thing π₯² Iβm going to try his other books to see if I can connect with a different one but man, being bored with a book is worse than hating it. #52bookclub #52books52weeks #booksky #readingchallenge

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says βdonβt buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.
I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

4βοΈ When No One is Watching. Kept hearing rave reviews and I ended up loving it! This thriller revolves around gentrification in a Brooklyn neighborhood and is dual pov between a black lifelong resident & a white house flipper who just moved in. #booksky #52books52weeks #52bookclub #readingchallenge

5π One Italian Summer was so heartfelt and beautiful. Katie has just lost her mother weeks before their Italian vaca but decides to still go. Somehow, she sees the younger version of her mother and has a second chance to be with her. I laughed, I cried, I loved this! #52bookclub #booksky #booktok

βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Iβm h this absolutely lived up to all of the hype! The Weight of Blood is a retelling of Stephen Kingβs Carrie set in 2014. I canβt think of a single thing I didnβt like while reading this. I cried a few times lol but there is also a very tender love story mixed in. #52bookclub #booksky

The Invisible Hour was so layered w/ themes powerful themes. I liked for its parts but as a whole, I wasnβt in love with it. I enjoyed the time travel aspect and the star crossed lovers plot. Definitely would recommend even if it wasnβt my favorite! #booksky #booktok #52bookclub #readingchallenge
