Anabasis is a very short story by Amal El-Mohtar and is free online. How "she persisted", I don't know. A must-read.

I finished Patricia Briggs'
Burn Bright #5. Yes, it would have been more impactful if I had read A&O within its proper sequence of Mercy's world, but I had binge read them so it's fine. My review - www.goodreads.com/review/show/3589642084
Michelle Obama is an excellent example of "Nevertheless, she persisted", which has become a feminist cry. In her memoir, Becoming, she takes us from Chicago's Southside to Ivy League universities to the White House. Great read, great audio as well.

This is a terrific, informative eye-catching graphic book for kids, teens, adults - folx - with advice and actions for everybody: This Book Is Anti-Racist: 20 Lessons on How to Wake Up, Take Action, and Do the Work by Tiffany Jewell. It should be in all schools and libraries.
5★ Link to my review of Anti-Racist, 20 Lessons with some of the artwork.
I've enjoyed articles by Ta-Nehisi Coates and wish I'd liked The Water Dancer as much as everybody else has. The slave trade was (and still is) appalling.

Finished Catching Fire by Suzanne CollinsLoved it even more than the first book.

I'm currently reading "The Lantern's Ember" by Colleen Houck.The Lantern's Ember
I'm about halfway through it. So far it's a pretty interesting read. It's a twist on Sleepy Hollow by Irving.
I am currently reading Call Me By Your Name By Andre Aciman, I watched the movie which I loved a few months ago, and decided to read the book. So far so good. :)
I am enjoying New Jersey in 1915 with the entertaining Kopp Sisters mystery series that's based on real people.Lady Cop Makes Trouble by Amy Stewart was a lot of fun!
4,5★ Link to my Lady Cop review
I finished a science-fiction action-adventure novel: Angel Six Echo
by Robert Appleton.My 3.5 star review (rounded to 4 stars): https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
just finished Anxious People by Frederik Backman. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I would say this was his best book yet. so deep and gives you all the feels. :)
As late as the 1960s, Australian Aboriginal children with white blood were forcibly removed from their black families, who were considered incapable of taking care of them. The White Girl is a fictional story about a grandmother and her very fair granddaughter, by Indigenous author Tony Birch. Thought-provoking (and infuriating).
3.5★ LInk to my White Girl review
It certainly opened my eyes.

Nazi Wives: The Women at the Top of Hitler's Germany

I finished a British crime/police procedural: Lost Hours by Alex Walters.My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm not sure I'd be up to the challenge of visiting Matt Haig's imaginative The Midnight Library, but it certainly would be tempting!

The Mystery of Three Quarters am enjoying this book. I wish Poirot was in it more. But I am still enjoying it
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is the fictional memoir of a very old Guernsey bachelor (who always enjoyed the girls), written by G.B. Edwards. It covers both World Wars, the Depression, and the Nazi Occupation. It is unique and absolutely fascinating!

I finished The Dorito Effect. It wasn't really what I expected it to be, but it was really interesting. It had lagged a bit towards the end and I was hoping for a better answer to the issues it explored, but it was still mostly an engaging read. I am starting Bird Box. It seems like it will be a good Halloween-time read.
