Historia
Pulitzer-winning journalist and best-selling author (Freeman) Leonard Pitts, Jr.'s new historical novel is a great American tale of race and war, following three characters from the Jim Crow South as they face the enormous changes World War II triggers in the United States. An affluent white marine survives Pearl Harbor at the cost of a black messman's life only to be sent, wracked with guilt, to the Pacific and taken prisoner by the Japanese.

Amazing Story
Revisado: 01-23-25
Just wow! Leonard Pitts Jr is a giant in the historical fiction world in my book. This book has excellent pacing and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Within it is all the lessons we hope mankind has learned since WW2. We hope…this was my second reading of this book and it was just as wonderful the second time around.

Good story, Poor performance
Revisado: 01-16-25
I didn’t enjoy the voices in this performance. They were odd and took me out of the story. The story was solid though and I appreciated the character building.

Not for everyone but an enjoyable read. I prefer the book to the movie but both are good. So much mad science! I really enjoyed the political conversations throughout the book.

Historia
Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.—and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself.

Absolutely Necessary History
Revisado: 11-13-23
This is a shocking and disgusting story of how greed took the lives of so many Osage people after they obtained oil money. It’s absolutely disgusting to learn about the depths and level of depravity of these white men who murdered so many human being so casually-how many people were involved and how many people allowed this to go on for years. This story desperately needed to be told to honor the pain of the Osage and all that they lost. My only critique is the structure. I was thrilled in the first and third sections. The second section didn’t seem like it fit or that’s should have been a separate book. Other than that, it was an enlightening yet infuriating read. Thankful for this book because there are so many stories in American history still not being told.

Historia
In the Technicolor glow of the early 70s, Jessica B. Harris debated, celebrated, and danced her way from the jazz clubs of the Manhattan's West Side to the restaurants of the Village, living out her buoyant youth alongside the great minds of the day - luminaries like Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. My Soul Looks Back is her paean to that fascinating social circle and the depth of their shared commitment to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other.

What an adventure. This book is full of interesting stories of writers and musicians we already love but there is also mention of people I’d like to know more about. What a time to be alive…

Historia
Aurora James’s life is a great American “success story”—precisely because it looks so different from others we’ve seen. Scouted as a teen model, James struggled with body image and became disenchanted by the industry’s objectification of women and commodification of race. After she’d hit rock bottom, dropping out of high school and being arrested for street racing, she was forced to reshape her life. A slew of fashion-related jobs led James to discover the power of the runway, and she started her own business in a flea market.

Historia
Imani Perry’s Audible Original A Dangerously High Threshold for Pain tells the dramatic story of her ongoing struggle with lupus—an autoimmune disease that attacks multiple organ systems—and what we can all learn from those who are grappling with chronic illness. It’s a powerful and poetic story that evokes the works of Susan Sontag, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Audre Lorde.

I really enjoyed this. I just received a chronic illness diagnosis last fall and am struggling through the testing and figuring things out. Hearing the experience of others helps so much.

Historia
Still reeling in the aftermath of the deadliest war the world had ever seen, the small town of Pont-Saint-Esprit collectively lost its mind. Some historians believe the mysterious illness and violent hallucinations were caused by spoiled bread; others claim it was the result of covert government testing on the local population.

Meh
Revisado: 04-24-23
I think the premise is interesting but I didn’t feel any connection to the characters. The narrator was unreliable so still not sure exactly what was happening. The eroticism needed better context to be compelling. Just not for me I guess.
