Ouch that hurt! One of those stories that hurts to read but it‘s a truth that must be told. An outstanding piece of literary fiction from author Becky Manawatu, drawing on some real life stories and others so cinematically conjured I am certain we‘ll see this on screen soon. Beautiful, raw and #owsie 😓

This was hard to pick only 3. There are so many good movies.

This is an interesting dystopian storie. In am undefined future big cities like New York have been closed because they are inhabitable due to air pollution and overpopulation. Now they are a summer holiday attraction. But what happens when the doors close at the end of the summer? Something the 16 year okd Ron is going to find out the hard way.
Definitely a dystopian future that‘s not so far in the future anymore. The story was published in 1978.

On my way back from the theatre, killing time in the train by reading. The person next to me reads a printed book as well instead of checking the phone. Life is good. 😊

What a fabulous #litsyfoundfamilyswap! Thank you so much Alexus! The books look like fun reads& of corse all the snacks have me all set up for reading sessions! You did a great job sussing me out!

Boyz n the Hood meets A Christmas Carol in this powerful and moving young adult novel in verse about a young man contemplating his response, revenge, and “the rules” his brother, just killed in a shooting, taught him. Our bookstore is helping a local teacher give away 60 copies of this book to his students for summer reading!

Not bad story of poor black boy in Harlem area who works through grief for his brother by building great lego structures. If not a movie yet, it could be.

Beautiful.
