Am reading about colorism around the world (part of the Shades of Black series) at The Guardian found at this link: https://www.theguardian.com/membersh...ies-race-issue. The series is very good
Unlike mainstream media outlets in the states, The Guardian has articles on race and its effect everyday. https://www.theguardian.com/world/race. Lucky me to have stumbled on it. |

I usually don't have a big stack. In fact I can't understand people who are constantly reading 8 books or something. I usually have A book. It's MY book. If I misplace it, there's panic. It's like an essential item of comfort and security until I'm finished. Then it's just a book again. That said, I have a stack right now.

Another book on Reese Witherspoon's book club
The Other Woman....Sandie Jones I won't copy and paste any reviews, just this little blimp: Fiendishly twisty psychological thriller about a man, his new girlfriend, and the mother who will never let him go.

The miseducation of cameron post
This book was recommended by either kris Bryant or Dyking Out.
But what a book. You get so absorbed in it. A truly remarkable story that is part based on true events. The film however is one of the worst film adaptions i have ever had the misfortune to watch. Unlike the book where you connect profoundly with cameron. The film doesn't manage to achieve whats so ever. Just stick with the book. Its s real gem |

Highly recommended for just being absorbing as heck

_Good In Bed_ by Jennifer Weiner. Yes, I know, I'm coming late to the party. I actually bought the book sometime last year. But I heard an interview with Jennifer Weiner and decided maybe I should go ahead and read it.

I finally bought and am starting the first in the Game of Thrones series.
I loved the show sooo much. I’m excited to see what extras/differences the books hold.

Wonderfully written. This author's first novel, captivating writing style, held my attention. It was a "I can't put it down". Highly recommend, even if you have to be 99 on a waiting list!

TEMPTATION -KRIS BRYANT
I liked this book. But i do like kris byrant books in general.
She writes mostly lesbian romance, which until a few years ago i thought wouldn't be something i would be interested in. This book is a more easy book of hers to read. You pretty much know where the story will end. Its not my favourite of hers, but still it was good to read. Kris Bryant books i can recommend whole heartedly are Touch (the chemistry is off the chart in this book), Forget Me Not, Falling. And Taste is a absolute great book if you are into cooking and romance (one of my favs because of the way kris describes the cooking and food side of things) And if you like fairy short stories And kittens that steal the limelight in a book Tinsel. (i am more of a dog fan but even i fell in love with this precious kitten) |

_Kitty and the Midnight Hour_ by Carrie Vaughn. Werewolves, vampires, sex. I'm not sure I'm really going to like this book - although it has a lot of fans - but I'll probably finish it. It will be a quick and easy read, and right now I need some bubblegum for my brain.

I finished _Kitty and the Midnight Hour_ by Carrie Vaughn. IThen I finished _Kitty Goes to Washington_, and now I'm reading _Kitty Takes a Holiday_. They're amusing and very relaxing.
I've also started _Make Your Home Among Strangers_ by Jennine Capo Crucet. It's a book that wouldn't normally have appeared on my radar, but about a week ago there was a story in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Apparently some special snowflake students at a Georgia public college (I forget which one) had a book burning. The book is required reading for all entering freshmen, and it's part of their cultural diversity program. Some white students took the whole white privilege idea wrong, as some usually do. Well, just say "book burning" and it makes me want to read the book. It's a YA novel about a Cuban American college student and her experiences attending a prestigious and mostly white college. I'm looking forward to it.

In my spare time ...
The Ethics of Ambiguity (Simone de Beauvoir, 1947).
I'm slowly reading Simone de Beauvoir's book and supplemental reading material, a relevant essay, authored by Charlotte Moore (LINK).

My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir by Jenn Shapland
While working as an intern in the archives at the Harry Ransom Center, Jenn Shapland encounters the love letters of Carson and a woman named Annemarie—letters are that are tender, intimate, and unabashed in their feelings. Shapland recognizes herself in the letters’ language—but does not see Carson as history has portrayed her. And so, Shapland is compelled to undertake a recovery of the full narrative and language of Carson's life: She wades through the therapy transcripts; she stays at Carson’s childhood home, where she lounges in her bathtub and eats delivery pizza; she relives Carson’s days at her beloved Yaddo. As Shapland reckons with the expanding and collapsing distance between her and Carson, she sees the way Carson’s story has become a way to articulate something about herself. The results articulate something entirely new not only about this one remarkable, walleyed life, but about the way we tell queer love stories. In genre-defying vignettes, Jenn Shapland interweaves her own story with Carson McCullers’s to create a vital new portrait of one of America’s most beloved writers, and shows us how the writers we love and the stories we tell about ourselves make us who we are. |
