Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye

The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison: (New Edition). | Harold Bloom

#Top25of25
It was another year of, honestly, very dark books. But that is what I like, so not shocking. And there is some variety: Medium dark (Lucy, The Safekeep), funny dark (Hell of a Book, The Devil's Larder) and dark dark (When We Cease to Understand the World, The Bluest Eye). One not dark: '60 Songs That Explain the 90s'. Full list in the comments: *audio, **re-read, non-fiction (nf), story collection (sc), poetry (p); the rest are novels

4.4⭐️ I had book of hangover after this read. You know the expression “walking in someone else‘s shoes”, well Morrison hit that feeling out of the park. It was emotional, gritty, and heartbreaking yet beautifully told. This painting added left me with a lot of emotions, and I almost didn‘t post it. However, I think emotions are important and I feel this painting is a wonderful depiction of the emotion stirred within this book. #ReadBannedBooks
