Hello bookish friends! And happy Friday to you all. I’m here to celebrate (in my usual way 😂) with the second part of my birthday book haul! Thank you so much to @keeperofpages @tarheelreader @chrissireads Mr B and my family for spoiling me rotten in a tough year. I’ve already read Circe with @keeperofpages but I read the paperback edition. She knew I was cursing myself having not bought the hardback so she eased the pain and bought it for me! 🤣😍 The other books I’ve been coveting for a little while apart from Of Women And Salt which I hadn’t heard of but as soon as I saw it and read the synopsis, I knew I had to have it. I’m also planning to read Hot Stew at some point with @tarheelreader (we have a VERY long buddy reads list) as we enjoyed Elmet so much when we read it together a while back. So, tell me all the things!! What do you think of any of these books or authors? Have you read any? Do you want to read any? Let’s have a chat in the comments! Have a lovely weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #birthdaybookhaul #allthebooks #booksimexcitedtoread #buddyreads #openwater #calebazumahnelson #summerwater #sarahmoss #ofwomenandsalt #gabrielagarcia #hotstew #fionamozley #circe #madelinemiller #failosophy #elizabethday #dreamland #rosarankingee #bookobsessed https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3JX1-L8xT/?igshid=ch1gzpzbon6t

Happy Pub Day! Thank you to @flatiron_books for the gifted copy! QOTD: What book do I need to read about generations of women, mothers or daughters? I will be reading this one next month with @litinabookclub as the monthly selection. I have always been fascinated with stories about women and daughters across generations and the relations that bond them together. I am currently reading a book that spans 5 generations of women but from an Afro-Puerto Rican perspective and I am looking forward to see if I can make some connections with this one. I am excited to see how this book contributes to the literature of the Caribbean diaspora. FEATURED: Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia 🌺🌺SYNOPSIS🌺🌺 A daughter's fateful choice, a mother motivated by her own past, and a family legacy that begins in Cuba before either of them were born In present-day Miami, Jeanette is battling addiction. Daughter of Carmen, a Cuban immigrant, she is determined to learn more about her family history from her reticent mother and makes the snap decision to take in the daughter of a neighbor detained by ICE. Carmen, still wrestling with the trauma of displacement, must process her difficult relationship with her own mother while trying to raise a wayward Jeanette. Steadfast in her quest for understanding, Jeanette travels to Cuba to see her grandmother and reckon with secrets from the past destined to erupt. From 19th-century cigar factories to present-day detention centers, from Cuba to Mexico, Gabriela Garcia's Of Women and Salt is a kaleidoscopic portrait of betrayals--personal and political, self-inflicted and those done by others--that have shaped the lives of these extraordinary women. A haunting meditation on the choices of mothers, the legacy of the memories they carry, and the tenacity of women who choose to tell their stories despite those who wish to silence them, this is more than a diaspora story; it is a story of America's most tangled, honest, human roots. #OfWomenandSalt #GabrielaGarcia #FlatIronBooks #ReadCaribbean #CubanLiterature #CubanBooks #Bookstagram #OwnVoices #LatinxBookstagram #LatinxBooks #BookClubPicks #Bookdragon #Bookphotos #NewRelease (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDtMFfLIQr/?igshid=1rxkdw8h0oekf
