Here is my August TBR #bookspinbingo board!
My #bookspin pick is Like Real by Shelly Lyons
My #doublespin pick is The Dollmakers by Lynn Buchanan
pickA tender, epistolary middle‑grade novel told through letters between 12‑year‑olds Meena, an Indian immigrant in NYC, and River, a Kentucky coal‑miner‘s son. Their correspondence captures the beauty of unlikely friendship, courage, and shared humanity across cultural and geographic divides. Touching, enlightening, and full of hope.
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.
(from "Of solitude", Book I, Essay 39)

This little hourly history book isn‘t in the system so I‘m only writing a blurb. I‘m trying to get my history fix in with these quick reads once a week. This week I chose Janis & decided to take inspiration from @jdiehr & do my review haiku style.
Rocker, trailblazer —
she took a piece of our
hearts, left us too soon.
These little bios are great for a quick overview of the pertinent facts. 4⭐️

...what we ordinarily call friends & friendships are nothing but acquaintanceships...in the friendship I speak of, our souls mingle and blend with each other so completely that they efface the seam that joined them...If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed, except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I.

I wear my heart on
my sleeve, determined to show
love — alas, rebuffed. 🥀

Life can be painful, confusing. Finding your own way & your own place in this life, with a million distractions promising enlightenment, and a million more promising escape. I think The Essays are slowly becoming a refuge for me - not to blindly accept what he says, but as a conversation. His essays are steeped in study & experience. Reading Montaigne, although it takes work, I'm finding that I can - and should - be my own captain in rough waters.
