Got further in this than I have in awhile, but I still cannot engage with trad pub single POV. I'll keep testing it periodically! Sorry, perfectly nice book!

Belle Greene | Alexandra Lapierre

pick

I‘ve had this book on Kindle for months, way back when it was the last book for #EuropaCollective. Finally got around to it! A very interesting story about Belle Greene who became the chief librarian for J.P. Morgan in the early 1900s, all while passing as “white” even though her parents were descended from slaves. It‘s amazing how far we‘ve come from when having a single drop of black blood disqualified someone from so much.

Tamra I think about the Morgan family & Belle and the tragedy of her nephew not infrequently. 3w

BarbaraBB I‘ll bump it up my TBR. I‘ve got a copy for #EuropaCollective as well. We should bring that reading club to live again! 3w

Lesliereadsalot You have so much going on already! On one hand, I found every book we read from Europa to be interesting and valuable. On the other hand, I‘m not too good with having to be “responsible” for reading something. If you want to try to bring #EuropaCollective back to life together, I‘ll give it a shot. What do you think @BarbaraBB ??? 3w

Lesliereadsalot Yes, very sad and I can‘t stop thinking about it either. @Tamra 3w

BarbaraBB I‘d like that. We could check out if the former participants are interested and then maybe start again in the fall (after camp)? (edited) 3w

Tamra @BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot yes! I really enjoyed the Europa reads! 😁 2w

BarbaraBB @Tamra That‘s so good to know! We can revive it! 2w

Lesliereadsalot OK, I‘m in! Let‘s talk about it after camp. I‘ll work on getting the former participants list together over the summer. 🩷. @BarbaraBB 2w

BarbaraBB Great ❤️🧡🤍 2w

tpixie @BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot @Tamra I wrote a post last month or so about reading a #EuropaCollective in June. I better post it now so people can get the book! 📕 it‘s by the author of The Postcard- written with her sister- about another grandmother

The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man's Love Affair with Nature | J. Lanham

pick

Memoirs aren't always my favorite, but this one was a hit for me on so many levels: I loved the nature and ecology, the exploration of family and belonging and connection to place, defying expectations in a quiet way. I was surprised to learn that Lanham wasn't an experienced writer before this because his prose flows so well, and he does such a great job conveying emotion without becoming sappy (as many memoirs do). Loved this one!

tpixie Great book! Love the photo. Thanks for the link. I hope to visit The Morgan Library & The Frick Mansion someday. I‘ve already been to NYC 3 times though- not since the ‘80‘s though, so I don‘t know if it‘s beat other cities…. 4w

Before I Let Go | Kennedy Ryan

pick

This was such a great book, I didn‘t want it to end! Yasmen and Josiah are possibly my fave fictional couple right now.

Loved Kennedy Ryan‘s approach to second-chance romance, and especially loved how mental health and therapy were such a central part of the story.

Can‘t wait to read the next book on the series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jas16 Love this book so much. Cannot wait for the third book in the series next month. 1mo

BarbaraBB I have a copy of this but didn‘t read the first one. Should I? 1mo

Deblovestoread I didn't realize it was the second in a series, so I have the same question as @BarbaraBB 1mo

While I Was Away | Waka T. Brown

I thought the funniest line in the book was when Waka‘s grandma told her, “A lot of Japanese women, their butts are quite flat. You should be happy yours isn‘t.” 😂😂
