I just finished it — I’ve never had a book literally stop me so I could sit and think. It was so good!

I took a socials break, and took a challenge break 🤷🏽‍♀️

January Reading Wrap Up 🙌🏽 I set a goal to read 200 books this year and I’m a tenth of the way there. One series I should have DNF’d, but I was so close to the end.

What were your top reads??

Sign in the top left says “Shhhh… we are reading” and has flowers on either side; a glass of wine to the right of the sign and a book, Between Friends and Lovers by Shirlene Obuobi, in the center. A bookmark on top of the book states “you are capable of amazing things”

Silent book club night and I finally had an hour of uninterrupted reading time 🥰 the other hour was spent chatting 🤭

I can’t even look at the news today but this is about where I’m at.

It’s wild! I naively thought it was the YT fame that made her a “tough love” mom to the extreme… and that’s not it at all… very sad but so well written

It’s so good!! And so much more heartbreaking than the docs that came out on Hulu/Max/etc. You’ll have to let me know your thoughts when you finish 💜

Cover of the book: House of My Mother by Shari Franke

Highly recommend adding this to your TBR! I’m about halfway and it’s amazing and powerful. The end of Ch25: “this wasn’t a temporary inconvenience, this was an occupation.” Also, highly recommend listening to this — Shari narrates 🙌🏽 #booksky #bookrecs #memoir #sharifranke

Right?!? And now I must reread so I can look for clues 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I stayed up last night to finish it… Ch 50 to the end is where everything went DOWN even more!!! I cannot tell you how many times my jaw dropped 🤣 I cannot wait to reread

Good morning, friend!
