The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw
It’s a collection of short stories about Black women, sex, and the Black church. Am liking it very much though it’s a strong reminder of what I dread (and miss) about organized religion. It’s encouraging me to visit my local AME church in hopes of hearing a good Sunday morning sermon. |

Birthday books for my summertime reads
Rico gave me books by Jojo Moyes for my birthday last week. I have enough of her books for summertime reading.
I just started The Giver of Stars. It takes place during the Depression era. From the author of Me Before You, set in Depression-era America, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond.  I plan to open up other books soon, by Moyes: Me Before You (The trilogy: Before You, After You, Still Me). You can read about this series of stories, published by Penguin Random House here.

Insider Art: A Compendium of Comics, Crafts and Cats, Shelly Bond
150 female and non-binary worldwide artists created this book during the pandemic. There are short comics, essays, craft projects, and illustrations (mostly of cats!). It's a fun read for someone with a short attention span. It's also the perfect book to "read" (while intermittently dozing) during a 6-hour chemo treatment. You can easily drift through this book, selecting items here and there to peruse - no need to read them in order. I imagine it would make a great gift for someone who is a bathroom reader.

On Fascism by Mathew MacWilliams. Informative, educational, and necessary. We need to know this information in order to, not just survive, but to heal as well.
And for light reading Little Boy Blue by M. J. Alridge. Detective crime novel with some very interesting female characters.

Any obits and articles I can find on bell hooks.
All the Best Jazz Albums lists I can find. The Jemima Code audio book. It's an excellent source on the history of food by Black Americans and our impact on American food. Listening to an LGBTQ+ anthology by 20th century BIPOC writers. A couple articles on American system of tipping and how it's rooted in the treatment of enslaved people. |

Reading
"Buffy Ste Marie"
Biography Life of a Canadian Native singer who survived all the things of childhood that would make most of us shrink. Then, rose to stardom. "Face in the Water" A true documentary concerning the state of things in Mental Institutions from back not so far to present. This is presented by a woman who got depressed and was institutionalized and she speaks of the treatment with shock therapy and medications that can turn unhappy people into zombies while the medical community calls it cure. Very deep book. |

Started two others but today I made a point of finishing my last book "Women's Madness" (mysogyny or mental illness ) concerning women from the time of witches to present day around the world of women being held to blame for all the worlds ills including their own. More than we could ever know about the mistreatment of women throughout history. (I do not like that word as it stands true for all we learn his story).

Water's Edge by Gregg Olsen. Fast easy read. Book 2 in a trilogy.
Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum. Just started this one. I am hopeful that at the end I will understand why people are moving towards a more authoritarianism mind set. It truly baffles me.

I'm reading from two books (both are excellent)
1) The Big Cheat: How D----d T---p Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family (Author: David C. Johnston, November 2021).
2) Unthinkable (Author: Senator Jamie Raskin, January 2022). ____________________. I am nowhere near finished reading from either book, but both books provide inescapable truths/facts about the former con-man-grifter-in-chief and what is at stake for American Democracy.
