Book Club - Black History Month

 I finished Brave New World already. 

I can't say I liked it, but it held my interest, and it made its point.

So I was looking for something to start for today, a short story that we could share perhaps.

There are 12 stories, and I was able to find a pdf link for the first one, Heads of the Colored People: Four Fancy Sketches, Two Chalk Outlines, and No Apology.

Nafissa Thompson-Spires was nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work.

She won an Audie Award for Short Stories and the PEN/Open Book Award.

The latter is meant to foster racial and ethnic diversity within the literary and publishing communities.

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
