A mixed stack of books I would like to re-read, as well as some which have waited patiently for me to crack [them] open for the first time. Then again, something I have always enjoyed about having a personal library is the license to dip in and out of books periodically - especially when it comes to poetry and short stories. What about you?🤔😘 #bookstacks #Detroitinbooks

Nute Same! I don‘t usually read multiple fiction books at the same time, but I always have a poetry and/or essay collection close at hand with my current book. 5y
JSW I love short stories for just that reason... to dip in and out, as I please. And no matter how I try, my stack of books (both TBR and re-reads) never decreases. 5y
Lesliereads @Nute Right! Books of essays are another genre that I like to read a bit of and mull over at my leisure💕. (edited) 5y
Lesliereads @JSW I hear ya! 😁 5y

Maraniss reports on the highly-dynamic people and activities of Detroit from the fall of 1962 thru the spring of 1964. Berry Gordy, Jr.‘s “Motortown Revue,” the UAW‘s Walter Reuther, the Ford Mustang, MLK‘s “Dream...,” Malcolm X‘s “Message to the Grassroots,” a bid to host the 1968.....these things and more all have Detroit in common. Learning more about my hometown. #Detroitinbooks #history #Detroit #detroitstack

I wanted to read this before going to see the film, "Detroit," but that probably won't happen since it's 397 pages long. I think the window for seeing the film on the big screen may close, soon. #detroit #booksandknitting #readingandknitting #thealgiersmotel #detroitinbooks #knittingandreading #knittersoflitsy

I liked this book but didn't love it. Probably because I'm from Detroit and tend to be hyper critical and sensitive to portrayals of my home city. #detroitinbooks #whataboutbelleisle #detroitmetrotimes
