Hello LAX. The Vanishing Half by @britbennett.bsky.social . As a white person- this was an interesting and informative read of passing over. The pros and cons of doing so for all involved.

Meow! Black Silk & Sympathy by Deborah Challinor. I liked this book about the only female undertaker in NSW at the time- wish there less “buttoning up” of stories and grit but I’ll still read the next one when it comes out

Phew- this is a heavy hitter - asking great questions- both in NZ and all colonized areas of the world - including where I live. “All That We Know” from @shilokino.bsky.social

The song of Achilles by @madelinemiller.bsky.social I wanted to read this to continue on in this world after #clytemnestra and gobbled up this book- it was so good. I learned Latin for 4 years in HS and watched Troy during it. Where was this story?!? #booksky #usauthors #achilles #thestorygraph

Remembering there will be blue skies again

Clytemnestra! Phew that was a book- I just devoured it! Seeing so many similarities in men having trouble accepting women’s power, intellect and rage between way back when and now…

Next up! Sisters of the Lost Nation. A novel surrounding Anna and her quest to keep her nation & women safe. Also- can we all need just give Anna a hug! (Kudos to my library for this read)

I have this book on kindle BUT this book just stuck with me. I think about this book a lot. Intersection of sport & womens bodies & family & the self. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Interesting book from an NZ author! Lots of thought provoking themes of privilege, class and women.
