The One Memory of Flora Banks

Just completed A Subject Passionate About - The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. I have been avoiding this book since it came out, as I represent kids in the system who are sent to kid prison. Almost every detail was accurate, from the terrible food, to the egg-water, to the physical abuse. The thing is, this is historical fiction but this crap is still happening today. These facilities were not shut down after the atrocities at Dozier were finally unearthed and the truth couldn’t be shutout anymore. They now are operated by for-profit companies. Most of the stories this book contains could have been told by children who came out of the facilities last year. We have to stop treating people as disposable. We have to recognize systemic racism and root it out. “I know there’s nothing in here that changes people. In here or out there are the same, but in here no one has to act fake anymore.” “That’s what the school did to a boy. It didn’t stop when you got out. Bend you all kind of ways until you were unfit for straight life, good and twisted by the time you left.” I appreciate everything the author does in this book. Maybe, one day, this will truly be historical fiction in Florida. Definitely worth reading! 5 stars

Just completed prompt for Set in Multiple Countries - Happy People Read and Drink Coffee by Agnes Martin-Lugand, translated by Sandra Smith. Well, this book has a misleading title! Not what I expected at all. Not sure if it was the writing or translation, but the emotions of the characters jumped around so much, it was hard to be sympathetic for them. The plot itself was interesting. Worth reading with the above caveats. 3.5 stars

Just completed the body-positivity book prompt - Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating by Christy Harrison. This book is a revelation! I had to take it in small bits because I’m so mad at the lies about dieting and wellness I’ve been embodying since I was a kid. “It’s hard to smash the patriarchy on an empty stomach, or with a head full of food and body concerns, and that’s exactly the point of diet culture.” This makes so much sense! “‘I left my childhood feeling like, though I was successful in school and got into a college I was excited about and had good friendships, overall my life was a failure because I couldn’t lose any weight.’” Same - I felt like a failure at my law school graduation because I had gained weight during my finals. “‘Weight loss doesn’t heal people from their internalized weight stigma. Bad body image is not cured by weight loss.’” I’ve never been happy with my body, no matter the size or how much I lost. “Many things contribute to health, meaning it’s not all down to personal responsibility, the way diet culture wants us to believe - not by a long shot.” “Your body is not meant to be at a weight that it can sustain only through restriction.” “We can’t predict what’s going to happen to your weight when you give up dieting, but it doesn’t matter one bit in terms of your health or worthiness.” My one critique was that the author’s references to the Life Thief seemed sarcastic and detracted from her overall message. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

Just completed the prompt with 3 generations - I love the characters in this book. I love how the author uses every day items and things to explain who they are and what they want. I appreciate the craft of her prose, but I wish she had added just a few more words to flesh out the story. Overall, really good and worth reading! 4.5 stars
