6 stars for this strange gem. Every creative turned stay-at-home parent should read this! ScaryMommy blog meets Kafka. Are the shiny, happy moms at story hour truly beasts? It‘s bloody original! TW: brutal death of pet. #motherhood #creative #magicalrealism #horror #readthisnow

I just finished this and it was definitely one of the best books I‘ve read this year. What if you came home & found strangers moving into your house? How did that happen? #readthisnow

This book is an amazing emotional rollercoaster! Only a few pages to go but I‘m terrified to know how it‘s going to wrap up...pretty sure I‘ll be destroyed one way or another. #emojiathon ✌🏾 #diversebooks #grinchathon #LongWayDown #booksinverse #readthisnow

#TheHeartsInvisibleFuries by #JohnBoyne is one of the best books I‘ve read this year. It is equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming. Words cannot accurately express how phenomenal this book is. It tells the journey of #CyrilAvery throughout his life beginning in #Ireland. Cyril endured so much pain in his life, but also found so much love. If you haven‘t read this book, you absolutely #mustread it. It‘s even better than the hype. #MagicalMarch

5/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I loved all of the advice jam packed in this short, timely book. I think I may have even enjoyed this one more than “We Should All Be Feminists,” which is extremely hard to say, because I loved that one too. I borrowed this from the library, but it‘s definitely book I must buy. I could read this one over, and over again. In fact if I ever have a daughter, I think I most certainly will. #Readthisnow #MustRead #JPBookReview

MsLeah8417 I loved Americanah. I will have to check this one out as well. 7y
Karkar I loved this one too! So good! 7y

This book was FANTASTIC. Asha is a fierce, protagonist we can all identify with. A dragon hunter who is wielded by the realm her king and father to hunt dragons who are deemed wicked, and the "old stories" that breed wickedness. Asha revels in her "wickedness" and eternal love of the old stories. But soon a twist of fate leads her on an unexpected path and she finds herself questioning everything she once believed. #yabooks #readthisnow #amazingya

I started reading “So You Want to Talk About Race” with the #superbowl playing in the background, and WOW, this book is AWESOME! #Oluo eloquently addresses #race head-on, and I can‘t put it down!! 🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼 This book is very quotable and so I will share some of my favorites in the comments as I make my way through this very important book. #ReadThisNow #HighlyRecommend #HighlyRelevant #POC #Quotes #BlackHistoryMonth #MustRead #CurrentlyReading

Jess7 “Systematic racism is a machine that runs whether we pull the levers or not, and by just letting it be, we are responsible for what it produces. We have to actually dismantle the machine if we want to make change.” -Oluo, p. 30 (edited) 7y
Jess7 “We can get every person in America to feel nothing but love for people of color in their hearts, and if our systems aren‘t acknowledged and changed, it will bring negligible benefit to the lives of people of color.” - Oluo, p. 31 7y
Jess7 Is something about race? 1. It is about race if a person of color thinks it is about race; 2. It is about race if it disproportionately or differently affects POC; and 3. It is about race if it fits into a broader pattern of events that disproportionately or differently affect POC. -Oluo, pp. 14-15 7y

Jess7 “Humans are resilient and creative beings, and out of a social construct created to brutalize and oppress, we‘ve managed to create a lot of beauty.” - Oluo, p. 21 (edited) 7y
Jess7 “If I call a white person a c****er, the worst I can do is ruin their day. If a white person thinks I‘m a n***er, the worst they can do is get me fired, arrested, or even killed in a system that thinks the same —and has the resources to act on it.” - Oluo, p. 28 7y
Jess7 “No, the problem isn‘t just that a white person may think black people are lazy and that hurts people‘s feelings, it‘s that the belief that black people are lazy reinforces and is reinforced by a general dialogue that believes the same, and uses that belief to justify not hiring black people for jobs, denying black people housing, and discriminating against black people in schools.” - Oluo, p. 32 7y
MissAimz_55 I want to read this book so bad! It's never at my library so I'll probably end up buying it. I need a powerful book!! 7y
Jess7 Trust me. This is a book you want to own, underline and tab. It‘s an incredibly powerful, informative book. It‘s even a part “how to” book. How to approach conversations about race. How to fix the big problems. How to respond when someone responds with an argument for reverse racism. It‘s phenomenal and was worth every penny of the $18.00 I spent at Barnes and Noble to own it! @MissAimz_55 (edited) 7y
RidgewayGirl Looks like this is one to buy. Glad I haven‘t used my Christmas amazon gift card yet. 7y

The Cruel Prince | Holly Black

This book was a rollercoaster of pure fun and excitement. Holly Black has such a knack for blending real and surreal elements. If you enjoy fantasy, faerie lore, strong female leads, and just general badassery this is for you. Seriously everyone should be reading this STAT. This books left me breathless and sorry that I have to wait at least another year for book 2. #youngadult #ya #readthisnow #bookboyfriend #faerie #yafantasy #fantasy #sosogood
