Finally reading The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates and his writing is just so beautiful ❤️#BookSky 📚
A page from The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates, highlighted in green the quote "That was the love the Tasked made, and it was that love that occupied my thoughts when time came to tend to Maynard - how families formed in the shadow and quick, and then turned to dust with the white wave of a hand.'

This quote from "A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping" by Sangu Mandanna hits extra hard these days #BookSky 📚
Quote from "A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping" by Sangu Mandanna "Theirs was a friendship built on the unspoken, shared understanding that you can love the home you've made with the whole of your heart and still know the land it was built on will never claim you."
