I finished Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson for a monochromatic cover prompt. Excellent book. Life changing. 5 stars

I read Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson.

If the author uses initials instead of a first name can I use either initial? For example V. E. Schwann. Can I use the E?

My five star for January is The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune. I used it for Title and author both contain the letter U.

I read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig for this prompt.

I just finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig for a book with a building in the title. I didn't like it. I wanted to DNF it but for whatever reason I can't not finish a book once I start one. I kept wondering what I read about the book that made me want to read it.
I had to wait months for it on hold also.

I read The Song and the Silence by Yvette Johnson for a book about racism or race. 5 stars. This is the February read for my face to face book club. Yvette Johnson's maternal grandfather was murdered in Greenwood Mississippi before she was born. She knew very little about him. Her mother never spoke about her father or growing up in Greenwood Mississippi. Yvette struggled with living in her own skin. She struggled with relationships. She goes on a quest to discover who her grandfather was. What life in Greenwood Mississippi was like for African Americans from the town's inception through today. Non Fiction.
