The Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad: A Novel | Colson Whitehead
From prize-winning, bestselling author Colson Whitehead, a magnificent, wrenching, thrilling tour de force chronicling a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hellish for all the slaves, but Cora is an outcast even among her fellow Africans, and she is coming into womanhood; even greater pain awaits. Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, and they plot their escape. Matters do not go as planned Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her but they manage to find a station and head north. In Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is not a metaphor a secret network of tracks and tunnels has been built beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, where both find work in a city that at first seems like a haven. But the citys placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens and Ridgeway, the relentless slave-catcher sent to find her, arrives in town. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing journey, state-by-state, seeking true freedom. Like Gulliver, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in states in the pre-Civil War era. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage, and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

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

Tonight is the anniversary of my uncle's suicide. I'm handling it better than I have in the past (it's the 14th year). I still have anxiety in certain situations. I'm also in a fibromyalgia flare and on my period to top it all off. I'm thankful for my online friends, on all my platforms, for being there. Tell your people you love them before you can't.

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. 1w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I bet they would like this one (it is nonfiction) (edited) 1w
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. 1w
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. 1w
Lcsmcat When I was that age I loved 1w
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) 1w
britt_brooke For war history, my oldest loved this, and my youngest is reading it now: 1w
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) 1w
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. 6d
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. 6d
Reggie Awwwwwww I love all of this. 😍😍😍 5d
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. ☺️ 5d

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

I usually wait until Friday evening to post my five joys just in case something extra special happens...today I figured why not a little bit earlier ☺️💖.

1- No Martial Law has been declared 🙏🇺🇸.

2- firefighters (always grateful) 👨‍🚒🦸👩‍🚒🦸‍♂️🧑‍🚒🦸‍♀️🙏💝.

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 📚💫💝.

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛 First, I wanted to leave this over empty (you know why), but then I decided that I won't let them win. Finding joys is a tiny act of rebellion, because they want us to be afraid.

1) Tasty Italian dinner with @VaniBarelyReads and FIL
2) Stupid mental health walk with @VaniBarelyReads
3) Actually doing what's on my to do list
4) These little Dodge cars @VaniBarelyReads gave me
5) two cups of Koawach each day

This Hiawatha wampum belt tells the story of the Haudenosaunee's legendary story of three: Peacemaker, Hiawatha and Jigonsaseh (the first clan mother) who together convinced hate filled hearts into becoming forgiving and peaceful, uniting five (multi-generation) warring Nations.

As one story tells, after Hiawatha lost his daughters, he had a reason to continue his hatred...but he instead chose to forgive and fight for peace.

AnnCrystal PLEASE NOTE:

P.S. Ancient Greece did have a type of democracy, but their politics were a bit complicated...especially about women's rights and equality.

And even the Vikings had a type of Democracy.

The Iroquois Confederacy (the Hiawatha story) began in 1143 A.D. (date debated by some scholars), and has continued into the 21st century. It is the longest living Democracy in the world.

I couldn't find a 2025 planner with all the bells and whistles that I needed, or they were too expensive...I therefore decided to make my own. A desk version and one for my handbag.

If anyone is having difficulty finding a new planner this year, perhaps you can also make your own. You can even use store bought stickers to decorate your cover.

3w
AnnCrystal @JosusAngel
P.S. I am such a sluggish reader! I used to be a swift reader, in my youth I could read a book in anywhere from two days to two weeks. By the time I joined Litsy, I was reading, maybe, two or three books a year!

Then after a conversation with @dabbe, I challenged myself a bit more. Then joined some Litsy Challenges (@LitsyEvents), I select to join on for low-key ones, that allow me to read any book and at my own pace.

👇
2w
AnnCrystal In 2024 I read over 20 books. Give or take, I haven't actually counted, it feels about right.

I'm still a sluggish reader, yet I find I prefer it. I like how the story soaks in better, stays with me longer. I can better appreciate stories and characters. Sometimes I even purposely prolong a read just to make it last longer...I do that a lot actually.

Don't overwhelm yourself, or it won't be fun. Slowly the magic of Litsy should inspire you too.

Fell in the snow today and I have strep throat for the 2nd time in a month. So I'm taking it easy and getting caught up on Grey's Anatomy and reading my Kindle.

Pogue I hope you fell better soon. 3w
