#blackorwhite #SeptemberSins

Black wins title/author search on my Kindle! (White titles/authors are on the far right!)

12% through tagged book - it's good but I keep on being distracted by others!

In case it isn't obvious, this prompt is for Shaun.

#SeptemberSins One of the MOST compelling memoirs I ever read. James McBride is the child, one of 12 born to a white Jewish mother and a black Christian father. In the veins of Jeanette Walls and Tara Westover, McBride offers an intimate and unforgettable account of what it feels like growing up not recognized as #BlackOrWhite 😢High praise for both writing and storytelling and EXTRA shoutout to James‘s mom for doing the best she could.

Ruthiella I know it bugged other readers but I liked how he referred to her as “mommy” all through the book! 😀 5y
Cinfhen Funny, I don‘t remember that at all @Ruthiella 5y

monkeygirlsmama Ugh that cover though. 😬 7y
Robothugs 👆🏻 Agreed 7y
Cinfhen I kind of like the cover @Robothugs @monkeygirlsmama it reminds me of the cartoonist Al Hirschfeld 7y

DivineDiana @Cinfhen Good eye! I agree, but unfortunately cannot confirm. The book jacket and book do not give credit. Tried to search for it, but no luck. 😕 7y
Cinfhen I love that you tried to find the illustrator 7y
Robothugs Hmmm... maybe I took her comment the wrong way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I liked the cover! 😂 7y

#ItsAllAMystery when things start to go missing in a small town, one stormy summer night. First small bits and baubles, then people. Everyone in town loses something but when a group of teens find a book with spells to recall what was lost, things aren't exactly what they seem...

Cinfhen You keep posting lots of new and interesting books! I loved Night Circus, it's one of my favorite covers ever! (edited) 7y
EchoLogical @Cinfhen I try my best 😆 I thought the Night Circus was okay but it would make a better movie. Like the visual elements (all of the descriptive details and show-stopping feats of the circus) of the book almost seemed more powerful than the storyline itself. This story is begging to watched rather than read, I think. 7y
Cinfhen Yes, visually NIGHT CIRCUS would be incredible ~ it really should be made into a movie! 7y

Invisible Man | Ralph Ellison

This classic has exactly what too many satires lack for me- a complex main character with an interesting inner life. And it still delivers on all the insights into the societal absurdities and injustices you would expect. The black-white imagery isn't just a tepid race relations symbol- its got an punch to it, a kind of a noirish poetry. #blackorwhite #90sinjuly @Robothugs @Cinfhen

Redwritinghood I've only read Edgar and Lucy and recommend it. 7y
valeriegeary Book Thief for sure! 7y
Cinfhen Gorgeous photo ~ I loved the Book Thief but it's "heavy" for summer time. Although most of those books don't quite scream #beachread ? 7y
JenReadsAlot Love the pic! Mudbound was really good. 7y
BarbaraBB The Remains of the Day! A story you won't ever forget. Gorgeous picture by the way. 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Remains and Mudbound are both wonderful- you can't go wrong with the choices you have here! 7y
Kalalalatja Lovely pic! 7y
mrozzz WG Sebald is all over my TBR- heard many good things. Same for Remains of the Day. 🙃 7y
emilyhaldi @Cinfhen somehow I usually end up with a pretty dark and depressing assortment of books 😂 it's ok, I'm not at the beach anyways, sadly. But when I am, Modern Lovers is first in queue! 7y
tammysue Lots of great books there! The Book Thief is one of my favorites. 7y
Cinfhen Modern Lovers is a great #beachread even though I wasn't a fan. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Mudbound, it's meant to be amazing. 7y
Reviewsbylola I see you already chose but you picked a good one! 7y

#blackorwhite #90sinjuly The book in the left is still on my never ending TBR.

Robothugs Nicely done! 7y
Zelma Blackbirds is really gritty and violent and visceral but soooo good. I highly recommend moving it up your TBR. 7y
Cinfhen Ooooh @zelma is selling Blackbirds...#stacked 7y
Zelma @Cinfhen 😂 I try. It is pretty underrated but he is an excellent, creative author. 7y
Jas16 @Zelma Awesome to hear. I will add it my teetering bedside stack and try to read it soon. 7y
