"The alarm clock woke me this morning at the ungodly hour of eight."

Indeed it did, though it was six for me...

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl. A fire that destroyed the city‘s oldest Negro church has led to the discovery of a wild slave narrative that highlights a little-known era of American history.

They were full of envy at the office when Meg told them she was going to Australia for a month on December 11th.

I‘ve been looking forward to this one for #2026Reads. Thanks @RamsFan for lining this up for #ClassicLSFBC, I've been meaning to read it for a few years but I never got around to it. I‘ve read the first 2 chapters and just want to say: ‘Oh Ford'.

This is also one of 111 books for #192030, 1932 prompt.

My wound is my geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.

In the summer of 1889, hundreds of Black residents of Liberty County, Georgia, congregated in daily worship on rough-hewn benches arranged beneath the branches of two moss-covered live oak trees near Walthourville.

ChaoticMissAdventures This book sounds devastating and interesting. 7d
swynn It's certainly eye-opening. Not that I was especially pollyannish about the quality of psychiatric care during this period in general, especially for BIPOC patients; but the religious component is a new thing to drop my jaw about. 6d
