A look at three interesting books I've read recently. Digging into memoirs right now.
Recently I’ve been reading memoirs and biographies, taking a little break from fiction. Reading across genres is a great way to expand my thinking, and I often gain some nugget of wisdom and self-awareness from the experiences of other people who have written thoughtfully about their own lives.

Today we're wishing a very happy birthday to novelist and activist — Alice Walker — who was born on February 9, 1944.
🏆 In 1982, Walker became the first Black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘭𝘦.
📚 Often included on banned book lists, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘭��� documents the traumas and gradual triumph of Celie, a Black teenager raised in rural Georgia. The novel explores themes of cyclical racism as well as sexism, the power of female relationships, and the disruption of conventional gender roles.
