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

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 397 comments I finished Patricia Briggs' Burn Bright (Alpha & Omega, #5; Mercy Thompson World - Complete, #15) by 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.

PattyMacDotComma 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.

It should be in all schools and libraries.

PattyMacDotComma 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.

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.

message 1034: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma 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).

PattyMacDotComma 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!

Kristie | 5928 comments 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.
