Best book of the month: The Fifth Season

My #DiversAThon read, thanks to London Book Club secret Santa. All too timely ...

New books thanks to book depository and #booktube may take a while to get here (about a month) but worth the wait. Now to finish #diversathon so I can jump into them.

YESSS THIS BOOK. My goodness, that was beautiful. Lyrical and sweet and heartbreaking. I just loved every moment, even the most painful ones. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼#litsyatoz #LetterW #diversathon

Starting #diversathon with this interesting novel.

I'm picking up Sara Farizan's book for an #ownvoices pick for #diversathon. I always thought I hated olives, but I realized I actually loved them on a trip to West Asia, so I thought some cheese and olives would be perfect for #bookandyourfavesnack paired with a book set in West Asia! #readjanuary

This book is so beautiful that I'm trying to slow down to savor it, but can't stop. This might have to be purchased for rereads if the second half is as good as the first. #currentlyreading #diversathon

My contribution for #diversathon #ownvoices Suzana Tratnik is a Slovenian writer of short stories, novels, essays... she is also the initiator and activist in the field of LBGT movement in Slovenia. This book is a scientific work, which raises and explores the question - what is the lesbian literature and what defines it as such.

Fresh fruit isn't my favorite snack, but the last few days I crave for it.

#diversathon Mentioning KINDRED because it was an early experience in not only reading #diversebooks but also in confronting my own uncomfortable responses on occasion.

I can't forget #SignedSundays! This is Helen Oyeyemi's first novel (and I'm hoping to get to it for #Diversathon). #SignedSunday
