So many reasons to read the 1619 Project. Today’s threads the Citizens United decision back to legal property protections for slave holders. Late, like me, to this reading party? Now is a great time to catch up. Accessibly, continuously connects history to the present. #Booksky #AudiobookAwesome

There is power in the focus & the telling. While not always an easy read, It is a hopeful one offering empowering examples, evidence & heroes for now.Primary message: when one thinks they have no choices, value or power, reconsider. Bonus: Jackson narrates the audiobook #Booksy #RecommendedReading

An incredibly difficult roadtrip this weekend made infinitely better by this dynamic read. I’ve read history chronologically and studied it thematically but never through the lens of blue. A revelation of perspective and connection #RecommendedReading #Booksy #Audiobook

So I thought I was ready for the season to shift toward cooler fall and tucking the garden away for the season but my recent reading pickups demonstrate that may not be true:
🏵️Cutting Stems by Virginia Lalucq
🏵️Cacophony of Bone by Ni Dochartaigh
🏵️Summer Solstice by Nina MacLaighlin

Reminiscent of How the Word is Passed In Open Contempt is equal parts art analysis on location & memoir. If you too are intimidated & wrestling with uncomfortable truths I cannot recommend this enough. The audiobook is especially powerful not just because but HOW Weathersby reads it. #BookSky #Read

beautiful, intense meditation on trauma, hopelessness, and redemption. This #GraphicNovel is color rich artwork, an adventurous first contact mission to Mars, and a sly personification depicting the value of support when others are experiencing a mental health crisis. Kind encouragement #BookSky CW:

Omg. Omg. Omg I can not explain how excited I am to read this book. Stardust Grail was BRILLIANT. Thanks to whomever told me one could place a library hold before a book is published & it actually helps libraries decide how many copies they need. #BookSky #ReadingJoy
