The Bluest Eye | Toni Morrison

I have finally read Morrison‘s debut, my second read for #BannedBooksWeek. I listened to a couple podcasts about it thereafter, which helped me break it down. Child rape and incest do happen, and hiding that by removing books depicting it allows it to continue without being examined, which serves no one.

ChaoticMissAdventures That is what I never get from these "banners". They seem to think if you don't talk about it those things will not happen which is just insanity. 3w
Hooked_on_books @ChaoticMissAdventures It‘s so often under the guise of “protecting the children.” From what? Life? That‘s impossible. I understand not wanting to introduce something too early, but letting kids know about horrible things that are real gives them tools to deal with life. And lets those who have experienced it know they aren‘t alone. Also, the book banners tend to be just fine with guns, so there goes the protecting the kids bit. 3w
Reggie I love the section about the couch and what it meant to that family. I love her writing. 2w

4.4⭐️ I had book of hangover after this read. You know the expression “walking in someone else‘s shoes”, well Morrison hit that feeling out of the park. It was emotional, gritty, and heartbreaking yet beautifully told. This painting added left me with a lot of emotions, and I almost didn‘t post it. However, I think emotions are important and I feel this painting is a wonderful depiction of the emotion stirred within this book. #ReadBannedBooks

4.6⭐️ let me start by saying that this was my #ReadBannedBooks for July, and it was better than I thought it was going to be. I wish it would‘ve read this one so much sooner, especially since apparently there‘s four books of the series. I mean, I‘m glad there‘s more because that ending was not enough, but dang. Also, really scary similarities to what‘s going on right now. I will be continuing this one next month.

Viola2012 What does it talk about? 3mo

4⭐️ please don‘t misunderstand me, because I really like this book. It was inspiring and eye-opening. But I have been emotional lately and I don‘t think I was in the right headspace to connect the way I could‘ve. I feel like I should‘ve hit pause and gone back to finish the read another time. So that‘s what I plan to do, despite the fact that I have finished it, I‘m gonna pick it up again later this year and reread it. #ReadBannedBooks for May.

Here is the #ReadBannedBooks and the #FriendsPick reads for the month of June. I have not yet read anything by Octavia Butler, but I‘m really looking forward to this read.

FashionableObserver I just finished Parable of the Sower like two minutes ago. Absolutely fantastic! Enjoy! 5mo
Littlewolf1 @FashionableObserver I‘ve heard amazing things about it. I‘m glad you enjoyed it. 5mo
BookmarkTavern This is such an amazing read! I am a little jealous of you getting to read it for the first time! 💖 5mo
