Friday is Here!! It has been a long week but today I took off from my work life. Day of catching up on chores & needed rest! Below are two books I started mid-week & loving already! Hope you guy get a good restful weekend before the Monday Grind!
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
I read on page on Tuesday & knew immediately that this was going to be one of my favorite reads of 2020! Yes one page because that is how GOOD Britt Bennett is! As I mentioned in my last Friday post, this is a book about the Vignes twin sisters who grow up in a small black community and running away at 16. What is interesting is that one passes as white while the other doesn’t. Ten years have passed by, with on sister returning with her daughter. My local book club picked this which I was ecstatic about because I love including diverse writers and books. My goal is to finish this over the weekend!
Wandering The Strange Lands: A Daughter of the Great Migration Reclaims Her Heart by Morgan Jerkins
Next up is a Non-Fiction pick, one I have been anticipating since Morgan announced it on her Twitter feed. Morgan is a great writer whom I first was introduced to thru Book Riot post back in the day. Ever, since I will read her pieces she writes in articles or think pieces for whichever newspaper and her twitter is so great! Her memoir This Will Become My Undoing, was a great read in 2018. This time she writes about her understand her norther and southern roots, the Great Migration, and he displacement of black people across America. I pick this on Scrib to listen to while I work and so far it is what I need from a non-fiction right now, so much I already learned.
That is it for now!! Talk to you on Monday!!
