Sing, Unburied, Sing | Jesmyn Ward

This is another book I‘ve quickly fallen for. Hard. 💕

I‘m listening to the audio, which is fantastic. The writing, though, is so lush that I‘m grateful I own a print copy, as well (gifted to me by @mrslamping as part of the #fallingforfallswap gift exchange hosted by @Avanders ).

Fall Is for Friends | Suzy Spafford

@Wonderwoman89 I am so sorry! I had this waiting for me in the apartment office and couldn't get it until today. You are so sweet to have sent this after everything you've been through! I wasn't expecting anything at all, so I was totally surprised to open it. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! @Avanders #fallingforfallswap #fffs

Wonderwoman89 I hope the books are okay. Our bookstores are still not open and I didn‘t know how you felt about books from ThriftBooks. 1y

ferskner @Wonderwoman89 of course! I wasn't expecting anything so it was all a great surprise! 1y

Another Brooklyn: A Novel | Jacqueline Woodson

pick

“I and I and I,” we chanted. “We and we and we.”

If the above words don‘t capture the essence of adolescence, I don‘t know which words do. Woodson perfectly expresses how it feels to be a teen - to want to be an individual so badly: to want to be heard; be seen; be singular; be understood, while at the same time only feeling like you‘re You - like you‘re only complete - when being validated by your friends, people who mean EVERYTHING to you.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/4: Woodson also captures what it feels like to grow up and *lose* that. She‘s someone who understands that loneliness is ever-present: whether you have friends who lay their heads against your chest to feel your heartbeat, who have soft hair into which you can cry — or whether you‘re behind a pane of glass, outside looking in, or separated from the friends you love by the ever-widening gap of adulthood. (edited) 1y

monalyisha 2/4: As if that weren‘t sad enough, “Another Brooklyn” explores the profound pain of losing a parent, the tragedy of the state of mental health in America, class wars, race wars, and the awful vulnerability & terrible strength of women.

Still, in spite of/because of the pain, it‘s a beautiful book. Woodson knows how to make just a few words say nearly everything. (edited) 1y

monalyisha 3/4: *Note: If there‘s any complaint I have against this book, it‘s that it seems to confirm that friendships between women can‘t ever be fully healthy & supportive. August‘s mother tells her that women “aren‘t to be trusted.” She says, “Keep your arm out...and keep women a whole other hand away from the farthest tips of your fingernails. She tells her to, “keep [her] nails long.” 1y

See All 8 Comments

monalyisha 4/4: The plot seems to support this advice as sage... but you can see from the acknowledgements that Woodson has a whole crew of female friends that she relies upon. I‘m choosing to brush my own criticism away, telling myself that Woodson means to evoke a feeling & a time of life with the plot more-so than she means for it to be didactic or convey a True message. 1y

monalyisha Thank you, @mrslamping for gifting this to me in @Avanders‘ #fallingforfallswap! 1y

LoverofLit Wow. Riveting review! 👍 1y

monalyisha Thanks @LoverofLit 🤗! 1y
