This is great - a crime novel from the perspective of a Black working-class barrister.
pickFirst book read for #scarathlon! Black cat pictured bc spooky… but that‘s the only reason.
Two ex-cons investigate their sons‘ deaths. Their sons happen to be gay, and there are some difficult scenes as the fathers deal with their own anti-gay sentiment and that of others. I like how Cosby writes these men - they are flawed, interesting and believable - and his books are action-packed. I liked Blacktop Wasteland slightly more than this one. ⬇️
I‘ve taking part in the #5daysofspookyandbookishtags over on Instagram and my blog for #blackoweenathon. Today‘s prompt was Hocus Pocus and I wrote about why I‘d want to go trick-or-treating with Mary Shelley and Kiersten White. Here‘s the link if you‘re curious: https://readingstewardess.wordpress.com/2020/10/08/hocus-pocus-tag/

There are a ton of readathons going on in October and for #scarathlon2020 we wanted to make sure everyone could gain some extra points by participating in whichever readathons fit into their schedule. If you want to take part in multiple, that‘s perfect! More points for your team! We‘ll try to put together a calendar closer to the start of the month so everyone can plan! In the meantime, if you know of any readathons please post below!
