Beloved by Toni Morrison

August 13, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

[TW: violence against children, racial slurs, depictions of slavery, abuse] BINGO – UnCannon In high school I took two AP English classes. In college, I took a Comparative Western Literature course. Toni Morrison was not on any of my reading lists for those courses despite the fact that Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and that Beloved was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1987 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1988. Perhaps, Morrison is not read more at […]

“There is nothing nice about Southern ladies!”

Is it weird how much I was looking forward to reading this?

In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End in Murder by Jane Monckton Smith

June 5, 2021 by Rooooomie Leave a Comment

TW for the book: domestic violence, homicide, suicide, rape This book is without a doubt one of the most infuriating things I have ever read, and also my favorite read of the year so far. I have an amazing friend who works in victim support. She and I were lamenting how often women become victims of domestic violence, even when there is a sea of red flags, such as when 13 women report the same man to police for stalking. (My. Blood. Is. Boiling.) My […]
