There There: A novel | Tommy Orange

We often think of Native Americans in connection to the land whether ancestral or on reservations. At a time when more and more people are living in cities, there isn‘t much in the canon to reflect this. Tommy Orange is here to change that!

I really enjoyed reading this memoir. If you like Wild Swans by Jung Chang, this is slightly more contemporary. While Jung‘s family was higher class, Xiaolu grew up a peasant. Both found their own way out of China. Xiaolu‘s writing is stunning and her story is remarkable. The audiobook is A+.

On display at my local bookstore Mrs. Dalloway's! My mom and I listened to the audiobook. Was happy to read it with someone as it begs to be discussed.

Howl's Moving Castle | Diana Wynne Jones

Saw the movie first and was delighted to discover the book has all the charm of the movie, though, I suppose really it's the movie that has all the charm of the book.

I don't normally buy books, instead I'm a big supporter of the library. Checked this one out yesterday and can't put it down. Decided I needed my own copy to pencil and highlight. Highly recommend if you have any interest in modern Russia. #reactionaryreadingbookclub
