48 Hour Book Challenge, Start!

It’s time for MotherReader’s 48 Hour Book Challenge!

I’ll be starting at 8:15 pm local time tonight and continuing until 8:15 pm local time Sunday. I will be taking breaks for eating, sleeping, and perhaps a bit of socializing, but I brought no grading home (yes, there’s still a little to do) and have no intention of spending any portion of the weekend cleaning.

Stay tuned for my book reviews. I’m going to experiment with writing reviews short enough to tweet, but I will probably post longer ones here, as well.

First up: Death’s Daughter by Amber Benson.

See you on the other side!

I acknowledge that I live and work on unceded Lumbee, Skaruhreh/Tuscarora, and Shakori land. I give respect and reverence to those who came before me. I thank Holisticism for the text of this land acknowledgement.

We must acknowledge that much of what we know of this country today, including its culture, economic growth, and development throughout history and across time, has been made possible by the labor of enslaved Africans and their ascendants who suffered the horror of the transatlantic trafficking of their people, chattel slavery, and Jim Crow. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we must acknowledge the tremors of that violence throughout the generations and the resulting impact that can still be felt and witnessed today. I thank Dr. Terah ‘TJ’ Stewart for the text of this labor acknowledgement.
