So I normally don't read much poetry but this year's #readingglasseschallenge has a poetry collection as one of the prompts. I picked this up on a recommendation and really enjoyed it! It has a lot of short, bite-sized poems that had powerful messages about love and loss and race and power. He uses a lot of metaphorical, lyrical language which I thought was beautiful.
This was my August #bookspin pick @TheAromaofBooks

mavey Ooh!🤩Rudy's poem 'Complainers' aired on Jimmy Fallon and it is so so good! Love his poetic style and delivery! Do check it out! 3y
peanutnine @Mavey cool! I'll have to find that video! Thanks ☺️ 3y
mavey @peanutnine 💕🤗 3y

This was super cute! The comics about being a triplet were hilarious and the ones about transitioning were really informative. Definitely worth a read! #readingglasseschallenge

A wonderful and thought provoking short story collection! Red Dirt Witch nearly made me cry in a lecture. It‘s inspired me to try my hand at short stories! #readingglasseschallenge

Not only have I heard so much about this book, but as much as I love libraries, I don‘t know much about their history. It was really interesting, especially the movement from a male dominated management to a female dominated one. #readingglasseschallenge

An achingly sweet graphic novel! A really quick read focusing on the relationship between a ghost and a gardener who can see them. I loved it so much I read it twice. Possibly my favourite reaper ever! #readingglasseschallenge

Translated from French. Truly interesting to learn more about the context of my favourite artists and the history of ballet! It‘s a world away from what it is now. #readingglasseschallenge

Weaponxgirl I have this on iBooks but somehow didn‘t realise it was in translation. It‘s going higher up the list now 5y
GivenLemons @Weaponxgirl The author‘s a French novelist and essayist! 5y

The first library haul of the new year! Libraries are generally under appreciated, but just so wonderful. One of the last public spaces that you don‘t have to spend money on. #librarylove #readingglasseschallenge
