I feel like this message should be on billboards everywhere.

Two years ago, I decided to focus on African American authors, specifically Southern African American authors and especially Mississippi African American authors.

I look at this 2022 list, and I see where that decision built on itself. One book led to another led to a recommendation on another (Laymon recommended Philyaw in a talk with Robert Jones Jr). This might not be antiracism, but it's part of a big picture for white author me.

The week between Christmas and New Year for me has always been devoted to reading. Book after book after book. This year, it was devoted to the flu. I feel cheated.

@PatrickZircher Percival Everett bc I just finished Trees and Telephone and it reminded me of why he's one of my favorite writers, and I have about a 20 book backlog to catch up on.

I'm not suggesting you can get too many books for Christmas but I am suggesting that I got quite a few.

What I'm reading this weekend

I feel emboldened. An incredible writer I recommended this book to just emailed me to say, "I'm not sure what I just experienced, aside from brilliance. I wouldn't change a thing, not one word."

Y'all, this book is fantastic. Put it on your list. I will repeat this until everyone in the universe has read this book.

When doing book reviews, I no longer link to Amazon. I link to Baldwin & Co., a local Black-owned bookstore. It's a great bookstore using books to inspire social justice. And I simply cannot link to Amazon when reviewing Black authors, not when we have a local Black-owned independent bookstore.

I was disappointed. What I expected to be a great book turned, in its lasts moment, in a pseudo philosophic life coaching book. It's not exactly what I was looking for, though I was happy with the ending I find it "easy" and everything turns out alright way too fast.

I finished Meet Me Under the Mistletoe by Jenny Bayliss which was a delightful little Christmas romance that was a quick easy read for this time of the year.

I've been a Percival Everett fan for over twenty years. I was on the waiting list for TREES at the library for ages. The words "tour de force" come to mind. This book blazes a path of sarcastic construction of what was real all along.

@drsueoosthuizen how fabulous to be able to gaze on such an old illustrated text. I love the Vision of Piers Plowman - ‘in a somer seson when softe was the sonne’. Envy.

Here’s my offering for I feel like sharing some James Baldwin who died December 1st 1987. Here he is with Toni Morrison in a fabulous hat and here he is laughing with Nina Simone and here he is just being excellently James all his life Xx
