#WithTheFireOnHigh was a fun read; @AcevedoWrites builds her characters & worlds thoughtfully,& emboldens them w/powerful vessels & expressions of layered identity. And the book covers😻

Next on my list is Clap When You Land — have you read it? 📚

I’m ready for my next @nkjemisin series — The Dreamblood duology is the third series of hers that I’ve read, and yet again, it delivered!
Also thoroughly enjoyed #EmergencySkin🙌🏼

This book. wow. Gorgeous, punchy sentences. Such heaviness throughout, in the best and worst of ways. An incredibly raw, revealing, and reflexive mirror @KieseLaymon holds up for us as individuals/community/nation. Phew!

@HarperCollins Anything by #ToniMorrison, and particularly, The Bluest Eye 🙌🏼🌱

Recently finished reading #TheShadowedSun by @nkjemisin [last installment of #TheDreambloodDulogy] and it was fantastic. The series would make a great screen adaptation — film/TV gods, do your magic, plz!

Don’t be ashamed if you’re tired. We shouldn’t have to fight voter suppression, contend for our postal service, address racist birtherism, assert that Black Lives Matter, appeal for healthcare, work to eradicate poverty, mourn deaths from gun violence, protest police brutality...

Timely essay - interesting premise re why we tend to repeat #history🤔

What IS even #time these days though!?

“we don’t experience reality as it is, and then warp it in recall, but that even the first time we live through X, we are already experiencing our warped version of X.”

@VintageAnchor Ah, such a great pile — personal stand-outs are the books by: Toni Morrison, Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Yaa Gyasi, Haruki Murakami, & Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 🙌🏼📚

@VintageAnchor @penguinrandom The medium by which #stories get shared also perpetuates this power imbalance. We end up missing out on important stories when we give into the myopic elitism of the written medium (or any other single-dimensionality). #Diverse forms of storytelling matter in upsetting the setup.

@blgtylr @alimkheraj @theipaper “My position in a social context is never stable because I don’t have social capital and I don’t have wealth to maintain my stability across the hierarchy.”

This. The ever elusive stability. Very real.

Looking forward to reading #RealLife; congrats on the #bookerprize nom 👏🏼
