I listened to this historical tale of slavery set in Canada on Audio. It read like connected short stories to me. I did not give it my full attention and had a hard time following the family lines. I feel I did this novel a disservice, but I am also unwilling to reread it. So-so for me. It is on the Walter Scott long list for historical fiction.

One chapter in and maybe it's due to the weather, but I'm feeling Texas-home sick right now. I think I should buy an indoor bougainvillea plant to liven up my space. This picture is the image that comes to my mind when the main character's home is described.

I wasn‘t sure what to expect when I started reading this Austen retelling, but it‘s so good. I enjoyed the modern spin with an interesting cast of diverse characters. Really good debut from Nikki Payne.

I‘ve been book shopping at a couple of HPBs the last two weekends, so beware, loads of photos to come. But first, I bought this one for my second (I‘m currently reading Pachinko) #SouthKorea book for #foodandlit. @Catsandbooks

Raw and honest, this is an urbanized fictional perspective of an individual who grew up in the rough streets of Brooklyn, New York. Afro-Latina and trans protagonist Carlotta is released from prison on probation and tries to assimilate back into her community. However, her new identity ostracizes her from everyone as she attempts to navigate while dealing with themes of family, crime, gender, queerness and the threat of gentrification.

It‘s not as tightly considered as some of her other novels, but the loose driving searching journey across America mixed with magic and witchcraft is most definitely enjoyable!
