I'm behind again. 😕

I've read several Max Barry books, including this one, and I've enjoyed them all.

“It is a lovely oddity of human nature that a person is more inclined to interrupt two people in conversation than one person alone with a book.“

I‘m behind!! But Anna Claire made me this awesome tumbler and it matches the book!!

Set on Chicago's Southside in the mid-to-late 60s, Coffee Will Make You Black is the moving and entertaining tale of Jean "Stevie" Stevenson, a young black woman growing up through the Civil Rights and Black Power movements.

JoScho The novel opens at a time when, for black families, seeing a black person on television was an event; when expressions like "I don't want nothing black but a Cadillac" and "Coffee will make you black" were handed down from one generation to the next without comment. Stevie is a bookworm, yet she longs to fit in with the cool crowd. Fighting her mother every step of the way, she begins to experiment with talkin' trash, "kicking butt," and boys. 4y
JoScho With the assassination of Dr. King she gains a new political awareness, which makes her decide to wear her hair in a 'fro instead of straightened, to refuse to use skin bleach, and to confront the prejudice she observes in blacks as well as whites. 4y
JoScho April Sinclair writes frankly about a young black woman's sexuality, and about the confusion Stevie faces when she realizes she's more attracted to the school nurse -- who is white -- than her teenage boyfriend. As readers follow Stevie's at times harrowing, at times hilarious story, they will learn what it was like to be black before black was beautiful. 4y

JoScho @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thanks but it isn‘t my review-just the Goodreads summary. I try to post them when I use books for a prompt to make it easy for people to know what they are about ☺️ 4y

Pickpick

This is one of my favorite historical fiction novels - the author put a lot of research into who each actual person is in the painting, as well as many details about Renoir.
It‘s hard to see, but there is a #BeverageOnTheCover ! Lol. It‘s next to the woman‘s elbow on the table in the foreground. I thought this challenge was going to be a lot easier!
