Go ahead and grab the June theme card to share it on your blog, on Twitter, Instagram, etc. We’d love to get the word out, so more people who’re interested in weekly rather than daily themes can join us.
THE MEMORY OF LIGHT by Francisco X. Stork
The Memory of Light is such an excellent book. It’s not excitingly adrenaline-pumping, although there are some intense moments. On the contrary, it’s an exceedingly introspective book dealing with the realities of mental illness. It portrays the complexities of mental health and the difficulties of diagnosing and treating those who are mentally ill.
Project 52 – Balance
Balance can mean a great many things. When it comes to the books I read, I like variety. While I do read a lot of young adult fiction, I also read general fiction, the occasional classic or play, as well as a myriad of non-fiction books. Balancing between entertainment and learning keeps things interesting and reading across genres ensures I don’t get bored by more of the same.
Project 52 – Diversity
Diversity is so multi-faceted in what it asks of literature and yet it’s only in recent years that it’s been gaining more acceptance. Growing up, I didn’t come across any books featuring multi-racial characters. That lack of representation made people like me invisible to readers. Only in the mid-2000s did such books start to gain traction, alongside books dealing with mental health. Books with LGBTQ themes followed suit beginning 2010s.
TONIGHT THE STREETS ARE OURS by Leila Sales
Tonight the Streets Are Ours was such a fun read! I enjoyed it tremendously, even though the characters were far from perfect. They each had their flaws and made questionable decisions. I liked that because that’s precisely what made them so relatable. The realism in the book mirrored the craziness of real life and for that I adored it.
