He would pull her up to him and tuck her into his body. He would make love to her and wish for his death, because his life would have been perfect at that moment.
Having to wait a full year for the sequel to this freaking amazing reimagined beauty and the beast story is truly going to be torture. Fantasy is so not my genre but I gave it a shot because Brigid Kemmerer has yet to let me down, and that streak has continued. First five start read of the year π
I went to a Catholic high school in the 1990s that was only slightly less white than Covington Catholic. I had one black teacher in my four years there; I never had a person of color teach me math, or science, or my favorite subject, English. And while I know my teachers didn’t want me to grow up racist—we read Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird, didn’t we?—as an adult, I keep coming back to this damning statistic: In all four years of high school, my English teachers asked me to read exactly one long text by a person of color: Richard Wright’s Native Son.
Native Son is a great book. But what message does it send that it was the only novel by a black author my school saw fit to assign?
…“No road whatever will lead Americans back to the simplicity of this European village where white men still have the luxury of looking on me as a stranger.” The world is white no longer, Baldwin tells us. In America, it never was. Our reading lists and our faculty lounges should reflect that by now.
i really, really enjoyed this book! i read it all in one sitting. i just, my heart was full of love for fidelia quail, and all my joy at reading her description and her thoughts and her eleven year old dreams and determination crawled up my throat. i could hardly contain it. and - the pieces of this story fell so beautifully into place, i just love the openness of it and the interconnectedness. and it had pirates, what more could you want? i donβt want to give too much away, because itβs definitely worth a read.
Earth to Charlie is unique, clever, humorous, heart-warming, heart-wrenching, and thoughtful. The story is well written and keeps you curious and engaged. Charlie is a lovable and accessible main character. I spent the whole book wanting to hug him and cheer him on. Earth to Charlie is highly relatable and told through a very innovative lens (waiting on your alien abduction). I give this book 5 stars!!
