Rereading Sula at 39 is definitely a move. If you are exploring the work of Toni Morrison… or any classic… I would say a reread may be necessary especially if you read it 10-15 years removed. What’s the last book you reread at a different age and your eyes opened a little more in time?

To our Nikki Rosa… I met Soror Nikki for a 3rd time in 2019… and I was just as starstruck as the first time I met her… She was ours and we hers… May she rest and find favor because she gave us so much and we could never repay her in this lifetime. 💔🐘

I can’t get my pressure up over a book awards that is hosted by a big box that probably is fueled by the shackles of TikTok recommendations… Yes y’all get to vote but who makes the decisions on what books to put up there anyway? 👀
