For everyone: Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. You just gotta do it. For people who want to better understand the realities of growing up a Black girl in America and/or love a good memoir: Somebody’s Daughter
Also for the record, other than a free digital or physical copy of the book, I don’t get paid when someone asks me to review so you can trust that I actually recommend it. (I upset an author a few months ago for being honest! Sorry!)
If you just read one or two books a year: Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste.
and what a year it was, eh?
It started out meh with the book about friendship that I didn’t care for, but the triple whammy of Pachinko, The Warmth of Other Suns, and the masterpiece that is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made for a beautiful month of reading.
