Am loving this book! Enjoyed T‘s birthday party last night ( band was 🔥) and TODAY is International Day of Tolerance… Reading along when this book has the word TOLERANCE so I made this collage. #PettyCash Roadtripping back home now.
pickExtremely emotive in its portrayal of young black men in London. Huge swathes of beautiful prose and repeated themes and phrases. I keep recalling the ideas of being seen yet nit seen, heard yet not listened to. And the love and hedonism of summer London Town.
I have been rewatching seasons 1-3 of My Brilliant Friend before I dive into season 4, and still love this show and books so much! ❤️
Next up eBook style. Mini Lemon Chess Pies for a 🥳 birthday party tonight. #RoadTrip #iLovePie #CaresPieShow #LitPie
pickThis was one of those short story collections that I sat with for a while before moving on. I didn‘t want this to end and that‘s the mark of a good short story. I had this on my GoodReads TBR for a while. I went in completely blind and I think that worked in my favor. Surreal fiction is, apparently, my jam.
pickLow pick 3.5/5
I wasn't too interested in the book overall but there are some things I really enjoyed, mostly the structure. The book is laid out following the bracket of the tournament. We learn about each fighter as they fight. The story has a great flow back and forth from the boxers present, past and future. This kept me interested enough to finish the book even though the overall story was a bit bland.
There was a (black owned!) bookseller (The Soul Book Nook from Waterloo, IA) at the conference, so I picked up a couple titles. Then I got myself a candle and cute wrapping paper to treat myself this afternoon.
