“Most of the trouble in this world boils down to one person not recognizing the worth of another,” Gramps said. “But sometimes that can be an advantage.”

Hebrew not Latin. 😣

Tikkun olam is Latin for ‘repair the world’.

If only I knew how.

Death is a tricky ordeal to navigate. This book is narrated by a death found who is navigating her own traumas based around death. Highly recommend.

I will finish this book. I’m Determined.

“…..information is necessary, to be sure, but it is never sufficient. Information must also be believed, especially when it comes to mortal threats.

Our class novel. This may take awhile…..😆

I love this book. I don’t want it to be over.

So fun. Starts slow and then moves nonstop.

“Reckless white boys became politicians and bankers, reckless black boys became dead.

So far I’ve cried three times in this book. It’s a tough journey of a woman and her eight year old after tremendous loss. The realization that a college education book store owner could all of a sudden be a migrant “ migrato” hits her like a ton of bricks.

Can’t put it down.
