I am reading South to America by Imani Perry. This was a bit of a slow start, but I am all in. If you enjoyed Clint Smith’s How the Word is Passed, this is a more indepth trip through the southern states. It is told in the form of a memoir and reveals the Black Southern lifestyle during and after the dark period of slavery and Jim Crow.
I am also trying to read Erdrich’s The Mighty Red. I am at 40% and not sure whether I will DNF. Anyone want to comment?

Just finished This is Happiness by Niall Williams, a gentle love letter to a tiny pre-electitrification1940’s Irish village. The exquisitely detailed descriptions of the village and its inhabitants shimmer.
