First post!
I want to start with a ‘Happy New Year’ greeting but
- It’s Jan 20th (too late? or?)
- This year is already looking questionable
I’m choosing to believe we can make it better though, even in little ways. Intention is vital. So have that ‘Happy New Year’ anyway!
Some book picks from 2020
Not the best at picking favourites. If you ask me, we will stand here until tomorrow…. so here are a few books I loved reading over the past year for different reasons. No Particular order
In The Ditch by Buchi Emecheta
Don’t Let Me Be Lonely by Claudia Rankine
People From My Neighbourhood by Hiromi Kawakami
Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei Brenyah
My Brilliant Friend- Elena Ferrante
The Vegetarian – Han Kang
The Vanishing Half Brit Bennett
From Black Lives Matter To Black Liberation by Keeanga Yamahtta Taylor
I set out to read about 30 books last year and I juuust did it. I was surprised considering how the demanding the year was- we could probably all attest to that. I’d like to say thanks to everyone who interacts with me here, I really appreciate it. It’s been a welcome escape and has definitely helped me read more. I hope I’ve helped you too! I love sharing ideas on different things and hearing your thoughts on books and the world
Anyone who knows me knows that I enter each new year with unbound optimism- that’s going to be much more of a challenge this year, I can’t lie! But I’m very hopeful. I don’t think it will be easy but day by day! As long as we are happy, healthy and have our sanity on the other side, it will be a win. Peace first. Everything else will be a plus
Thankful for another year
The best of 2021 to you!
