💐 We Are Not Broken by George M. Johnson — 09 💐 We Are Not Broken by George M. Johnson — 09/07/21💐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We Are Not Broken was simply everything. I’m always amazed at George M. Johnson’s gift for storytelling. I laughed more times than I count and shed many a tear with how vulnerable and authentic the writing was. The letters included from Nanny’s grandchildren were such a beautiful touch and made this book feel like a present from the whole family even though it was from George’s perspective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Often I would read a story about something Nanny did and rush to tell my mother what happened. We would laugh about it and she would tell me how it aligned with her life growing up and her own experiences. This book truly touches on the Black experience in a way that is unique to everyone in George’s family and yet is universal in the way Black families in the US navigate this world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The stories in this book connect to so many great themes like Black boy joy, the burden of the Black woman, the way white women weaponize their feelings to harm Black boys, and our connections to our ancestors. It’s a book steeped in wisdom and experience, and whether you can relate to George’s upbringing or not, there’s much to be gained by reading this beautiful memoir. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I could go on and on about how much I loved this book, but to end, I’m forever grateful that George decided to share their Nanny and family with us. I’ll definitely be buying my own finished copy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Thank you to the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own #LBYRPartner*
🌙 Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith — 08/31/2 🌙 Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith — 08/31/21🌙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I find comfort in being a thing that is feared.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Witch Haven was just the right blend of intriguing characters and an atmospheric setting. My favorite thing about it was the historical element and how the author fit witches into actual events that happened in NY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The characters were a delight, and I think Maxine was my favorite, so I’m excited to dig into this B&N edition of the book that has an extra bit of Maxine’s backstory included. Frances was so funny and naive, and I found her single minded obsession with discovering what happened to her brother interesting to watch, kind of like a train wreck. Finn’s description makes him sound like a haunted Victorian boy and yet I was still charmed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love when authors give little breadcrumbs that make it easy to guess what’s going to happen but then throw in a couple wrenches that make you doubt yourself. A very ‘I should have seen this coming but I was hoping I was wrong’ vibe. And the last page of this book shook me. Shook me. I need more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overall, this book felt like the culmination of gaslight gatekeep girlboss, and if you like witchy books and characters discovering their powers, I’d definitely recommend. And can we talk about that hardcover design. Beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Thank you to Simon Teen for the ARC. All opinions are my own. (And as you can see I liked the arc so much I bought my own copy)*
🔥 The Husbands by Chandler Baker — 08/03/21🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was going through my StoryGraph and I don’t think I’ve read a thriller since June 😮 That doesn’t sound right but might be true which means I’m long overdue. Romance has me in a chokehold apparently 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BookSparks sent over this 👀 sounding thriller as a part of #SRC2021. I haven’t read anything by this author before but she has a co authored book coming out with Penguin Teen, so I’m interested to see what her adult books are like. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ September feels like a busy month pub wise, and I still haven’t had time to finish Redemptor so that’s definitely happening next month, but I’ll find time to squeeze in at least one thriller too. Hope y’all have some great books to read next month too 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #TheHusbands #ChandlerBaker #BookSparks #ThrillerBooks #AugustRelease
