Underground Railroad
Underground Railroad | Colson Whitehead
#1 New York Times BestsellerWinner of the Pulitzer PrizeWinner of the National Book AwardWinner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in FictionLonglisted for the Man Booker Prize One of the Best books of the Year: The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, The Boston Globe, The Seattle Times, HuffPost, Esquire, Minneapolis Star Tribune Cora is a young slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood--where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage--and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Household DIY projects...seems neverending, yet we're having too much fun tackling.

2- St. Valentine's Day. Just because I'm single, doesn't mean I skip out on a reason to eat some chocolate 😂🍫💝.

3- Found the Captain Planet DVD collection at Walmart a few months ago, and I've finally had time to watch while we work on our DIY projects. A childhood favorite 🦸‍♂️🌎💍💝.

AnnCrystal 👇

4- Litsy, always grateful that I've found this wonderful community 🪄📚💝.

5- There is an important decision I must make. I'm giving myself the weekend to decide. Without getting into details, whichever direction I select feels like a good decision either way. I just need to make sure the road I pick is the road I need to be traveling 🧭💝.

Made this as a gift.

Doll-like figure with a beaded read dress fastened onto the Native Medicine Wheel.

The red dress represents the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Woman and Girls. Wanted to include a red hand, yet I always preferred the dress symbol. Both symbolize the same cause.

I'm going to have to check back with you all as I'm ill with an asthma flareup and chest infection. I'm sloping back to bed.

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Rain, was able to read to the soundtrack of rain twice this week 📚🌬️🌧️💝.

2- believe I've researched all I can for my next project, and I am happy to finally get really creative.

3- TV, Movies, and Books 📺🎬📚💝💝💝.

4- The community of Litsy 📚💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 5- Have many epic dreams, and last night I dream of an Orchid Mantis. The strange thing is, while I've seen photos of stick and flower-like bugs before, I never realized that there was a Mantis one (or that the photos were of Mantises).

👇
1w
AnnCrystal When I researched this morning, the fact made me smile with excitement. One of my brother's favorite bugs was the Praying Mantis, which makes my dream feel like a special message from him...call me wacky all you want 😜😂. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful dream 🌺💖.

New baby alert lol!

I have been considering a move away from Kindle and the Amazon walled garden for a while.

Then I read that the newest Kindles that came out a few months ago had quietly removed the ability to readily download books to PC, from which users are then able to port them to the eReader they choose.

More importantly, though I'm in the UK, I am sickened by the actions of 🍊 and his billionaires and voting with my feet.

Amiable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Good for you! I‘ve never been a Kindle user or buyer. We all need to vote with our pocketbooks—it‘s the only way they ever listen. 1w
BookishMadHatter I've always preferred my kobo over a kindle. Enjoy the new toy 1w
janeycanuck I got the same one a few months ago. I‘ve always had Kobos but this is definitely the best one yet. I hope you love it!! 1w

One Night (Hand) Stand is an #ARC provided by the author. #RomCom

Five Broken Blades, #audiobook, I'm reading it because a friend recommended it. Incidentally, the same friend who recommended Fourth Wing and I think we really don't have the same taste in books. I'm underwhelmed.

Both first books in series.

I only read 4 books in January. I admit I wasn't really in the mood. In the beginning of January, I was sick, on the 18th I attended a funeral of a cousin that I had never met, & on the 21st it snowed. Lukey loved the snow.
My favorite book this month was The Shining 🖤
My #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books: The Teller of Small Fortunes & You Might Be A Zombie were both dnfed. They will also be donated for #ReadOrDonate

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝. Hope you and yours are keeping safe and warm and that your power has returned.

1- Homemade deliciousness, Pizza 🍕, cookies 🍪, and meatballs 😋💝.

2- January 2025 was too chaotic, glad for February 2025 to begin...hopefully far more calmer 🙏💝.

3- sleeping better now that the Rains have been here...and there is more in the forecast! Prayers for those in the scary storms 🙏💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 4- Those Batman quotes inspired a Batman dream, who came and spoke a qoute that I hadn't shared because it was by Harvey Dent. Figured it meant I should post about it.

I also had an epic dream of the Heyoka, who are cultural jesters of the Sioux Lakota & Dakota. They are sacred spirit beings who have the power to heal through good natured humor. Have not researched about them in years, it was fun to see them.

5- Litsy 📚💝 Thank you Littens.

I‘m looking for book recommendations for my nearly 9 year old nephew‘s birthday in April. I‘m struggling with this age range a bit. I think it‘s because I lean toward spooky, mystery and fantasy and most of my historical fiction picks are YA.

I‘m tagging a few of you who might have suggestions, but I would appreciate any suggestions!

mandarchy I like letting kids pick for themselves and recommend a trip to the book store or a cash card for a book store. 3w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I bet they would like this one (it is nonfiction) (edited) 3w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa It has relations to farming because of drought and fixing things by learning, so it might appeal to him in that way. 3w
See All 12 Comments
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For the superhero angle…if they like mythology at all…try Percy Jackson. Kids that are part human/part Greek gods in this series, set off to school/camp together. Figure out their powers and end up fighting bad guys by the end. 3w
Lcsmcat When I was that age I loved 3w
britt_brooke Thanks for thinking of us! So, my youngest loves loves loves the Wimpy Kid books. He‘s almost 11 now but still reads the new ones and rereads the older ones. I know this doesn‘t fit into the topics you listed but I had to mention. As far as nonfiction, my boy both loves sports so I‘ve found some famous athlete biographies for them. Maybe there are some niche ones about farming or a particular farmer? That would be pretty cool. (edited) 3w
britt_brooke For war history, my oldest loved this, and my youngest is reading it now: 3w
AlaMich I don‘t have kids but I work in an elementary school library. I find this story fascinating, and he might too, if he enjoys war history. It is short, however. (edited) 3w
LibrarianRyan Okay. Speaking my love languages. Let‘s start with anything Alan Gatz. This is his speciality. I happen to love refugee but he has some Great War ones too. Number the stars. The entire I survived series. Plus this also come in GN. 3w
LibrarianRyan Christopher Paul Curtis also writes amazing historical books. Adam Gidwitz. Richard peck has modern and historical. Also the Al capon does my shirts is a great historical fiction set. 3w
Reggie Awwwwwww I love all of this. 😍😍😍 3w
Bookzombie @mandarchy @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Lcsmcat @britt_brooke @AlaMich @LibrarianRyan Thank you all so much for the wonderful recommendations! I made a list, lol. @Reggie I know! So nice to have all the help. ☺️ 3w

3- Rain should be coming. Hopefully enough, yet calm. Californians are all worried for landsides and toxic run off

AnnCrystal ...thankfully preventions are being taken and filters are being installed...yet we're all praying for the rain to come to stop more fires from being easily started 🌬️🌧️🦸🔥🌧️🙏💝.

4- my reading engagement is back to normal 🪄📚💫.

5- I just realized that I've gone over my usual three books at once limit. Not sure when that happened, possibly during Halloween 2024?? I credit the magic of Litsy! Thank You Littens 📚💫💝.
