Last Week in Books:
I finished Krik? Krak! this week. It was on my #MustReadin2020 list. It's a collection of related short stories by Edwidge Danticat. It was an emotional read for me. There's a lot of pain in these stories. Survival and family and love too, but a lot of pain.
I did read other books, but didn't make it all of the way through. I am reading another #MustReadin2020 title. This one by Angela Davis - Women Race and Class. The more of her work I read, the more impressed I am. This one is laying out the history of how these three things have been entwined in the U.S.
The Coming Week:
I started reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. With a bit of a break this week, perhaps I will finish a few more books before my next post. I have The Summer of Everything through Overdrive and I just now got access to the Mind the Gap Dash and Lily. I may watch the series over break. I am also working my way through Star Wars: The Jedi Mind. I have my next #MustReadin2020 book too -- Janesville. We finished watching The Mandalorian and have considered watching the 9 major Star Wars movies over break. Not sure if I want to commit to that or not. It would put a big dent in my reading time. I wish you a great week!

Both of the books you've read this week sound excellent! I keep meaning to watch The Mandalorian, but I've only had time for one episode of season 2 so far—practically every time I go online, there is some massive spoiler in an article headline. Sigh. (My iPad just autocorrected “Sigh” to “With,” so I guess it's checked out for the rest of the year as well.) I just watched and ADORED the new Netflix show based on the Dash and Lily books, so I should really go read the series! Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the new Dash and Lily book & the series. I loved those earlier books! I will look for the other titles you mentioned. My list is long, but it's great to have a variety of books to read. Thanks, Crystal & Happiest of Holidays to you!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine is a massive Star Wars fan, and she and her bf have been watching the entire Star Wars filmography, in chronological order - quite the commitment! :-D
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're doing incredibly well finishing up more titles from you #MustReadin2020 list. I failed to make a list this year and I've been contemplating whether I'll have time to pull one together by next week. It's so fun participating in that community! We are now in season #2 of The Mandalorian. We've been watching it with our 15 year old and everyone's enjoying it. My apologies for an extremely late comment. I'm running a week late, apparently. LOL
