ADULT LITERARY FICTION
STANDALONE
FAMILY/DEPRESSION/ADDICTION
Published February 5th - Physical ARC - Publisher
This was a solid disappointment. It should have been whittled down to the strong impactful writing and published as a novella or even better, a short story. Readers were giving it extra stars because it took years to write. Why should it get extra stars for that?

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!
I suggest listening to the audiobook with the author narrating. I borrowed mine from Hoopla.

BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
Karen, one of my favorite booktubers from RUNWRIGHT READS, is reading Maya Angelou's I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS on her YouTube channel. I have been meaning to read this book FOR-EV-ER and this is an extra special way to experience it. You can access the playlist: HERE. We are on chapter seventeen.

FAMILY - FRIENDSHIP
Publishes February 26th - Netgalley
Once again I am disappointed by a Zentner book after his fabulous first YA novel THE SERPENT KING. While his second book suffered from a flimsy, almost unbelievable premise, this book is wholey abysmal. The characters are like comical cartoon characters, and present US teens as silly and airheaded. The similes and metaphors are eye-rollers, too.
MEMOIR
BLACK CULTURE
This will probably be my last Black History Month read. I might start the last Binti book, but I know I most likely won't finish it before March.

I am going to be starting this for my buddy read with Annemieke from A DANCE WITH BOOKS. I was going to start it a couple of weeks ago, but the Kingdom of Copper book put me in a reading slump, so I got behind with ARCs and needed to try and catch up. Which, by the way, I still haven't.

I loved this. The way the character's expressions conveyed emotion was stellar.
