Passiontide by Monique Roffey

The women on this island is probably some of the most resilient and strong people that I ever met via fiction. However, even though this book is fictional, it has real life implications

Opening to Grief: Finding Your Way from Loss to Peace by Marnie Crawford Samuelson, Claire B. Willis
4.0
A lot of times when I’m reading books about grief, I have to remind myself to hear the message and not disregard the messenger. What I mean by that is that in this book there was several times that the author gave suggestions of how to deal with different parts of grief: one of those instances was to look at a time where you felt free looking at pictures when you were a toddler. Unfortunately, I am a who lost everything that I lost everything that I owned, including pictures of me prior to the age of 15.
So while reading that part of the book I had to just say to myself look at pictures when you felt joyous to get through the text. I like how the author talked about complicated grief, specifically complicated grief when it has to deal with a parent I wrote down so many things that I want to constantly remind myself about my grief, and I love how the author said that your grief will take the time it needs to take Often times I feel like I need to quickly get over the death of my mother. This book reminded me that I don’t do that.

What You Leave Behind by Wanda M. Morris

This book is so good. I love how books from an authors experience and spreads awareness of how real estate is predatory in America when it comes to land and property owned by Blacl and Brown people in this country.
James by Percival Everett

This book had so many dichotomies that it’s forced the reader to think about race, position, and family in ways that we often don’t get a chance to explore.
Virals by Brendan Reichs, Kathy Reichs

In this one we are learning why these kids are called the virals. Their pursuit for justice while making adolescent mistakes that either saved their lives or put them in the line of danger.

I loveeed this! The almost drowning scene at the beginning pissed me off with male character. Other than that I loved this book.
