FEBRUARY MINI REVIEWS, pt 1:

Two books I knew I wanted to read in February were Bemused by Farrah Rochon and Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Y. Davis. Here are my mini reviews:

•Bemused by Farrah Rochon
This is such a sweet book! The muses were definitely my favorite part of the Hercules movie so I loved this take on their backstory. It’s pretty fast-paced and adventurous which made it an entertaining book to listen to while I did chores.

•Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Y. Davis
Despite the title, I found much of this book to be comforting. For one, we have Angela Davis, a woman who was once targeted by our government, sharing her insights on every issue from Black Feminism & Civil Rights to "terrorism" & occupied Palestine. Through all of the activism she has been a part of she is still here & I'm incredibly grateful that she hasn't given up the fight. Davis's words will probably be echoing in my mind for days & weeks to come.

[ID: Slide 1- A dark brown book cover with golden text across the top and bottom: Farrah Rochon BEMUSED. In the center, a young Black girl, with thick, dark, curling hair reaching towards the sky, smirks as four other young Black girl in ancient Greek attire stand in miniature form above the book title. A large clay pot sits behind them all. Along the sides of the book cover, golden text over a pink background reads: MINI REVIEW. @BOOKISH_AFROLATINA. Slide 2- Same as slide 1 but the book is smaller & the book review lays below it. Slide 3- A bright red book cover with white and black text across it: ANGELA Y. DAVIS FREEDOM IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE FERGUSON, PALESTINE, AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF A MOVEMENT FOREWARD BY CORNEL WEST. Along the sides of the book cover, white text over a pink background reads: MINI REVIEW. @BOOKISH_AFROLATINA. Slide 4- Same as slide 1 but the book is smaller & the book review lays below it. ]
