Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
How Goes It, Bookworms? I’m doing well, you know. Reading and thinking and whatnot. I’ve also been bridesmaiding.

I’m assuming you answered with a resounding “OBVIOUSLY” because why wouldn’t you? Well, you, me, and Joe Hill are totally on the same wavelength. If it weren’t for peer pressure, I probably never would have… Read more »
