Belle Greene | Alexandra Lapierre

pick

I‘ve had this book on Kindle for months, way back when it was the last book for #EuropaCollective. Finally got around to it! A very interesting story about Belle Greene who became the chief librarian for J.P. Morgan in the early 1900s, all while passing as “white” even though her parents were descended from slaves. It‘s amazing how far we‘ve come from when having a single drop of black blood disqualified someone from so much.

Tamra I think about the Morgan family & Belle and the tragedy of her nephew not infrequently. 3d

BarbaraBB I‘ll bump it up my TBR. I‘ve got a copy for #EuropaCollective as well. We should bring that reading club to live again! 3d

Lesliereadsalot You have so much going on already! On one hand, I found every book we read from Europa to be interesting and valuable. On the other hand, I‘m not too good with having to be “responsible” for reading something. If you want to try to bring #EuropaCollective back to life together, I‘ll give it a shot. What do you think @BarbaraBB ??? 2d

Lesliereadsalot Yes, very sad and I can‘t stop thinking about it either. @Tamra 2d

BarbaraBB I‘d like that. We could check out if the former participants are interested and then maybe start again in the fall (after camp)? (edited) 2d

Tamra @BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot yes! I really enjoyed the Europa reads! 😁 2d

BarbaraBB @Tamra That‘s so good to know! We can revive it! 2d

Lesliereadsalot OK, I‘m in! Let‘s talk about it after camp. I‘ll work on getting the former participants list together over the summer. 🩷. @BarbaraBB 2d

BarbaraBB Great ❤️🧡🤍 2d

The JP Morgan library celebrating 100 years and giving due credit to Belle. 😄 Gorgeous collection - hope to see it someday.

tpixie Great book! Love the photo. Thanks for the link. I hope to visit The Morgan Library & The Frick Mansion someday. I‘ve already been to NYC 3 times though- not since the ‘80‘s though, so I don‘t know if it‘s beat other cities…. 1w

Before I Let Go | Kennedy Ryan

pick

This was such a great book, I didn‘t want it to end! Yasmen and Josiah are possibly my fave fictional couple right now.

Loved Kennedy Ryan‘s approach to second-chance romance, and especially loved how mental health and therapy were such a central part of the story.

Can‘t wait to read the next book on the series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jas16 Love this book so much. Cannot wait for the third book in the series next month. 3w

BarbaraBB I have a copy of this but didn‘t read the first one. Should I? 3w

Deblovestoread I didn't realize it was the second in a series, so I have the same question as @BarbaraBB 3w

While I Was Away | Waka T. Brown

I thought the funniest line in the book was when Waka‘s grandma told her, “A lot of Japanese women, their butts are quite flat. You should be happy yours isn‘t.” 😂😂

While I Was Away | Waka T. Brown

As it turns out, I am beginning to enjoy biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs more than I thought I would, especially ones written for young adult readers. I like how this one felt like a fiction story about a young girl and not a chronological list of facts about the author‘s life. It made the reading easy and enjoyable.

Before I Let Go | Kennedy Ryan

After mostly stepping away from romance, I‘ve been slowly creeping back…

Kennedy Ryan seems to be a big favorite and I‘m starting to see why. Loving this!

S3V3N I loved this book. 3w

Amor4Libros @S3V3N So happy to hear this! I am already looking into getting the rest of the series from my library 😃 3w

S3V3N @Amor4Libros I‘ve read several. I looked them all, but this is my favorite. 3w

There‘s nothing wrong with this book. I just don‘t have any enthusiasm for it. And why bother spending time on books I‘m not enthusiastic about?
