Appalachian Reckoning: A Region Responds to Hillbilly Elegy | Anthony Harkins, Meredith McCarroll

pick

This was a holdover from November #nfn2020. I took a break from it to read something lighter. I have wanted to read this since it came out, but I‘m glad I didn‘t buy it. About half the book are essays responding to Hillbilly Elegy, & the rest is poetry, family stories about Appalachia, & other essays. There were some interesting essays—I liked most of the personal stories—but this is still an almost so-so rating.

Thanks for a great #nfn2020! I wasn‘t great at checking in, but I got through a bunch of my non-fiction TBR!! And got inspired to catch up on my documentaries. So many good ones! It definitely cut into my reading time, but in the best of ways. 💕

Lucy_Anywhere I love your index cards - such a neat system! 4y

Linsy Thanks! I got the idea from a book blogger at some point. It helps me keep things straight! 4y

tdrosebud I also l love your index cards. Plus using a habit tracker is such a good idea for something like this. I'm going to try and remember that for next year. 4y

Clwojick I love the habit tracker! 😍 4y
