I‘ll be gone for 3 weeks starting tomorrow and am only bringing my Kindle for reading. Needless to say, it‘s causing anxiety over leaving my books! So I scoured Amazon to make sure I don‘t run out of reading material. I got all of these for under $15!

SilversReviews Nice covers. I want to read THE LAST MRS. PARRISH. 6y
Kristy_K @SilversReviews It was only $1.99 on Kindle. I‘m excited to read it. 6y
SilversReviews @Kristy_K I should get it. Can Kindle books remain on the Kindle forever? I have so many books to read. 6y
Kristy_K @SilversReviews Yes, once you purchase them they are yours forever. If not, I‘d be in trouble; my tbr of books owned is miles long lol. (edited) 6y

I was originally interested in this book because of the Voodoo, but I did not realize Zora Neale Hurston was also an anthropologist and this reads more like an ethnography of the Caribbean in the 1930s - really fascinating!

zsuzsanna_reads Thanks for the recommendation! I'm not into voodoo, but anthropology sounds interesting 😊 7y
AlizaApp @zsuzsanna_reads it was mostly anthropology, so in that case you might enjoy. Happy reading! 7y

I don't think we talk enough about how in the 1930s Zora Neale Hurston hung out in Haiti to learn about Voodoo and met a Zombie.

"So far there has been little recognition of compromise, which is the greatest invention of civilization and it's corollary, recognition of the rule of the majority which is civilization's most useful tool of government."
