Good morning Womble! I'm reading Oyinkan Braithwaite's Cursed Daughters and really enjoying it. I really enjoy how this author treats family dynamics without driving up the tension beyond what is needed in the moment.

We do not get out of fascism by saving ourselves and turning our backs on others. We get out through solidarity with everyone—especially the most vulnerable.

If we could just take a fucking breath and admit "our kids are people, we don't get to decide who they are," and stop using "BUT THE CHILDREN" as a reason to attack trans people, and autistic people, and whoever else we've decided not to like, that would be cool.

Oh, now this is a good question. Pennies will vanish first from mine, but that's because we are readers and own books we will never relinquish.

I hated him in my 20s, too. Just lucky I guess. Haven't reread since it was a new release and never will.
