Heads of the Colored People by Nafissa Thompson-Spires is one of my fav short story collections ever. these stories are about (racial, cultural, class) identity, self image, motherhood, adolescence, and so much more. the first story is an absolute knockout, and it only gets better from there. i cant wait for thompson-spires to release her novel, and i will definitely be reading anything that she comes out with next.
The Jasmine Throne was the first book i read from Tasha Suri and ever since then shes become one of my new favourite authors. i just LOVE this book: the characters, the magic, the world--it all ties together beautifully and im so excited to have found an ongoing fantasy series that i can follow over the next couple of years. 🌿🌸
with #nonfictionnovember coming up, i thought id post about this beautiful book: Two Trees Make a Forest by Jessica J. Lee. a blend of nature writing, memoir, and family history which i loved so much. i always have a soft spot for books about people reconnecting with their cultures. also, Jessica J. Lee's writing is just exquisite (and her audiobook narration, too!). i cant wait to read her other book, Turning, and will definitely be anticipating whatever else she decides to release next. 🍃🌿☘🌱🌿
wont say anything other than I LOVED IT 💖💖💖
My Time Among the Whites by Jennine Capó Crucet is one of my fav essay collections, and was one of my fav nonfiction books from last year! i love how frank Crucet is in this collection, and how deftly she's able to cover so many topics (weddings, money, writing, family). highly recommend this one, especially on audiobook, which Crucet narrates herself. 😊
did not expect a john green book to be one of my favourite books of the year, but here we are. The Anthropocene Reviewed was such a lovely, affirming book. john green's writing works so well in the context of a book like this that looks at a variety of topics and things from both a historical and personal perspective. also, the audiobook is EXCELLENT.
