I got it from my mama
It's my mama's birthday, and since she's the person responsible for making me a reader and the person I still love to shout enthusiastically about books with, here's a stack of books that she and I have read and discussed in our lil two person book club.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-A book we loved: The Woman Who Heard Color by Kelly Jones
-A book we liked: Oxygen by Carol Cassella
-A book whose adaptation we can't stop talking about: My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (the movie came out in 2009 and we've been traumatized ever since.)
-A book we disagreed on: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (she loved it, I thought it was just okay.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honorable mention goes to Where the Crawdads Sing and Little Fires Everywhere, which we also recently read and enjoyed (but don't get me started on our disappointment in the LFE adaptation!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's pretty common on booksta to come across people who share their love of books here because they don't have anyone IRL to shout about books with. I'm fortunate that I do! Are you the only reader among your friends and family?
