Hi, Sorry this took me a second to format, because Tumblr is getting very aggravating to use. Used to a time you could copy-paste a whole chunk of text with no problem, but now we live in hell, so everything’s hard.
Um, anyways! Great question! To keep from recommending the same five books I recommend every time (though, those are here are well, the Yah Yah Top 5), I’m going to pick from my favorite books from 2022-2023.
BELOVED by Toni Morrison: Sethe, a formerly enslaved woman, reckons with past violence. A story about intergenerational violence, trauma and the effects of slavery on a Black family. Also, there’s maybe a ghost, but there is another reading of the story that Morrison herself talked about that I haven’t even considered until @sawasako brought it up.
A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA by Ursula K. Le Guin: A young man called comes into his own as a wizard while fighting his shadow. Truly the blueprint for wizards.
“It is worth remembering that the internet wasn’t supposed to be like this. It wasn’t supposed to be six boring men with too much money creating spaces that no one likes but everyone is forced to use because those men have driven every other form of online existence into the ground. The internet was supposed to have pockets, to have enchanting forests you could stumble into and dark ravines you knew better than to enter. The internet was supposed to be a place of opportunity, not just for profit but for surprise and connection and delight. Instead, like most everything American enterprise has promised held some new dream, it has turned out to be the same old thing—a dream for a few, and something much more confining for everyone else.”
The most accurate rendition of a kid’s homemade book ever. Including drawing a barcode on the back which I did for all the books and cards I drew as a kid.
