SO STOKED!!!
Been waiting to read this since I finished Book 2 of The Harlem Shuffle Trilogy Crook Manifesto in 2023!
The first 2 books in the Harlem Shuffle Trilogy:
📗 Harlem Shuffle which takes place in the 1960s
📗 Crook Manifesto which takes place in the 1970s
had the quirkiest characters and the craziest ensuing hijinx!

Decided to take out the earbuds and do an ebook read of Book 3 of The Harlem Shuffle Trilogy.
I will eventually purchase the hardback for my library as the first two books are two of my very very favorite all time reads!
Absolutely love all the quirky characters and their ensuing hijinx!

Still haven't read anything by Whitehead. Guess I should start with the Nickel Boys?

Great Choice!
It really depends on what you are in the mood for.
If you want to read one of his Pulitzer Prize winners IMHO The Nickel Boys is definitely the best! Just be prepared as it is heart wrenching!
If you want to read something lighter definitely go for The Harlem Shuffle Trilogy...Books 1 and 2 were so much fun. Quirky characters in definitely a lighter bend in historical fiction.
After you've read The Trilogy and The Nickel Boys don't forget to read Sag Harbor. It reads more like a teenage boy's summer diary. It brought me back to many of my teenage summer memories.
Whitehead is one of the most versatile writers I've come across.
Whatever you decide to read, I hope you appreciate the work as much as I did.
Woot! 🥳 Can't wait to get off my library wait list! Hope you love as much as the first two. Looking forward to your review! ♥︎
