I just finished reading Kindred this morning. What a great read and I feel like I learned a lot. I had not really grasped the brutal economics of slavery before this. Thank you @retired-librarian.bsky.social and #BannedBookSky #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge #BannedBooks

A gem recommended by @retired-librarian.bsky.social as part of her #BannedBooks reading. Loved the illustrative dialogue and think it should be required reading. Chuckled when one of the reasons for banning was that the protagonist was older than her lover??? #BookSky #52BookChallenge #52Books

Just finished listening to this. Wow. People and money and power and greed. It's an unfortunate story but you should read it. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge #MoreLike42

For Prompt 7. Genre two: set in summer, I read Paper Planes by Jennie Wood, a graphic novel about gender identity, social class, and friendship.

I just binge-listened to this on my long drive. Totally sucked in and what great character development with a twist.

One of the better books that I have read this year. Stephen Johnson explores innovation in a thoughtful way with evidence about where good ideas incubate and grow. #booksky #52bookchallenge #52books

Because I am traveling in Norway, I grabbed a Norwegian novel. Naïve, Super by Erlend Loe is a fun and fast read - a coming of age story with some choice observations about America and Americans. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

This was recommended to me as a "starter" Murakami. I really enjoyed it. Have you read any of his work?

This was fun. Flip through it in an evening. Terrific illustrations and an exhibit that I would like to see in person one day. Sara Berman's Closet by Maira Kalman and Alex Kalman. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

Just finished this book finally. I had picked it up but set it down when others had a shorter due date. Sweet - very, very sweet. It was sometimes sad, sometimes serious, sometimes funny but very very sweet. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

On a long flight and managed to finish another one. I hadn’t actually ever read this before although I have seen movies and theater. It is remarkable how young Mary Shelley was when she wrote this. #BannedBooks #Booksky #52Books #52BookChallenge

A lovely memoir about the loss of a loved one. This book should be read as we never know when we will lose or be lost. #booksky #52bookchallenge

And one more that I listened to on Libby during my train ride. A Caribbean Mystery is classic Agatha when Miss Marple goes on holiday. Fast and with a twist. #BookSky #52books #52bookchallenge

Fascinating tale built around topics that Allende often explores. Oh such a twist of fate on one winter night and how three people come together to live it out. Very enjoyable.

I had to borrow this book twice in order to finish it but so glad I did! It’s long but such a terrific story. The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai. #Booksky #52books #52bookchallenge

Finished this biographical novel about Josephine Baker, who I knew little about. An amazing story about being born into poverty and racism, becoming an entertainer and later part of the French resistance. Heartbreaking but encouraging. #booksky #52bookchallenge #NotGettingTo52ThisYear
