#blackisthecolor #nofemmeber - second go at this after i realised that if i put a U in colour it would not come up on hashtag 😂
This is book 23 in my #LitsyClassics Atoz challenge and when it arrived in the post i thought what a beautiful little book and even better it fits in my pocket so i can take it to work with me. What a great idea 💡

batsy Clever take on the prompt! 5y

#nofemmeber #blackisthecolor

#blackisthecolor that troubles little Pecola Breedlove as she is mocked by the community for the darkness of her skin, and #blueisthecolor of the eyes she wishes for, like the blonde haired, porcelain skinned dolls she sees.
This is possibly the most heart breaking book I‘ve ever read. Yet some of the scenes that stick with me are the beautiful ones. The writing is amazing - as you‘d expect! #tonifans

Tanisha_A Loved it! Toni Morrison! ♥️ 5y
Cinfhen Beautiful blurb, Jo😘 5y
Leftcoastzen It is a gut punch !High on my list of all time favorites. 5y

Billypar Somehow I've read four amazing Toni Morrison novels and still have her two most famous ones to go- this and Beloved. I think I have to read Beloved next, but then this for sure. 5y
Centique @Billypar I still have Beloved to read too! 5y
Cathythoughts Loved this & loved Beloved. She goes straight for the ♥️ heart (edited) 5y
batsy This sounds great. I need to read it! 5y
Centique @batsy oh I think you‘ll love it! It‘s a work of art this book, not long but it has so much in it. I‘m lost for words to do it justice! 5y

#blackisthecolor of this corner of my bedroom. Today I officially started working from home. My boss is in court a lot so he decided to do a “virtual office.” Which is pretty cool for me except space in my house is at a premium. So I set up shop in my bedroom. 😧 Well see how it goes. It‘s been cool to have Gertie keep me company and I‘ve been able to keep an eye on my laundry. Maybe I‘ll even get in more reading time now. 😂 #nofemmeber

CouronneDhiver Fun! I loved my work-from-home jobs. Takes a certain kind of person though. 5y
saresmoore I hope it works well for you! 5y
Cinfhen I like the set up!!! And working from home in leggings and no bra seems like a win-win deal to me!!! 5y

TrishB Pj‘s all the way @Cinfhen 5y
Tanisha_A @CouronneDhiver Certainly takes a kind of person. I could never work from home when I have a lot of work to do, 'cause I get easily distracted by other things (sleep 'cause easy access to bed, books, just hanging out). 5y
Reviewsbylola I def used to think I wasn‘t that person but I‘ve worked for my boss for almost four years so I think the fact that I know how he is and how he likes things done by now will make it easier! @Tanisha_A @CouronneDhiver 5y
Reviewsbylola I am SO looking forward to sweats every day!!! @Cinfhen @TrishB 5y
Tanisha_A @Reviewsbylola Oh definitely! I agree that makes it easier. Wish you good times! 🙂 5y
LeahBergen Yay for a bra-less, sweatpants job! 👏🏻👏🏻 5y
Lauram I would become feral if I worked from home. 😂 I hope you love it! 5y
Ashley_Nicoletto Jealous. I dream of working from home. 5y
Billypar Congrats! Living the dream 👩‍💻 5y
Gissy Can you imagine? Work in you pjs super comfy without make up, heels or that all office attire protocol! Even if you have to show your face you can wear whatever you want! Love it! 😍 5y

britt_brooke @saresmoore 🙌🏻 I just started it last night. I‘ve read a lot of dark books lately and this is just what I need right now. 5y
saresmoore Yes! It‘s nice and light, but I‘m finding it surprisingly enjoyable for YA. 5y
Reviewsbylola Red nails are so refreshing. Love it! 5y
britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola Thanks! ❤️ I recently stopped biting my nails (finally) and this is all new territory for me. 5y
Reviewsbylola I‘m in sweats every day but I try to always have my nails done. It‘s the little things. 😆 5y
LeahBergen Everything I wear is black, too. 😆 5y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen 🖤🖤🖤 5y
cherinium I'm guessing there are no pets in your home? I love to wear black, but rarely do, because the cat hair is just too obvious! 5y
Ashley_Nicoletto Everything I wear is black also! And my nails are usually red or black. Someone at work asked me if I was a vampire recently and I responded “I wish”. 5y
britt_brooke @cherinium Not anymore, unfortunately. 😭 I used to always have little black and white Boston terrier hairs stuck randomly to my pants. 😆 5y
britt_brooke @Ashley_Nicoletto 🖤🧛🏻‍♀️ 5y
Billypar For me, it's just behind blue, but way in front of whatever 3rd place is 😎🎱♠️♟🌚 5y
bookcollecter Everything I have is black as well lol...even my jeans, but I do have a red mountain hoodie with a 3D cobra 5y

"Less than a mile behind them across the moonlight was another sailing boat, small, painted what looked like black, with a giant sail that billowed black in the night and a single man at the tiller. A man in black."

I know I've already posted from this this month, but can you have too much Princess Bride? RIP William Goldman. #blackisthecolor #nofemmeber

#NoFemmeber #Blackisthecolor
“Kate Morton meets Daphne Du Maurier” says the blurb.... which is a good description I think....this was a wonderful gothic story with a crumbling manor, windswept Cornish location, wicked stepmother and family tragedies galore. An engaging read set in one of my favorite places....

Reading the nytimes a day late and this memoir looks like an intense and thoughtful look at growing up as a black person in Mississippi. According to the review it is written as “a direct address to his mother who raised the author as a single parent completing postdoctoral work and engaging in black activism” to help all black people in Mississippi. #blackisthecolor #NoFemmeBer

Billypar That definitely sounds inspiring! ☺️ 5y
Billypar Though, as I squint and read some of the article, complicated too. But I like those kinds of memoirs the best. 5y
