Hello, dear readers!
It's Monday, again. That means blog time!
I'm currently reading
A few thoughts...
On How Long 'Til Black Future Month
I found NK Jemisin through LeVar Burton's podcast and have been telling myself I'm going to get into her work for months (maybe a year, even? What is time during this pandemic?) I was super excited to start this book of short stories and I am so pleased! I'm almost halfway through, but I really loved the "Cloud Dragon Skies" and "El Alchemista". If you have an opportunity to pick it up, I definitely recommend it. But you don't have to take my word for it, just check out LeVar Burton's podcast for a taste! (Sorry to other listeners of his podcast, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to use his catch phrase).
On How to be an Antiracist
"The most threatening racist movement is not the alt right's unlikely drive for a White ethnostate but the regular American's drive for a "race-neutral" one." ~Ibram X. Kendi
He just jumps in and starts calling out the color-blind status quo and I am here for it. I'm not deep into How to be an Antiracist, but I have underlined something at least every two pages so far.* It's good, thoughtful stuff and I can't wait to get deeper.
What are y'all reading? HMU with those good books! Also, my storygraph is kit_steitz so let's be friends and share recs!
love and sunshine,
Kit
*Unfortunately, I left it at my partner's house during a snow storm and we were separated for a full week. But he brought my book and his cute face by my place this weekend, so all is well that ends well. Or all is well that continues well?
