@Booksky Just finished reading #HEAVY, by #KieseLaymon; a beautifully sculpted, visceral memoir. Thank you @theblcklst.bsky.social for recommendation. #memoir
Just finished reading #heavy by Kiese Laymon. Heavy as weight, memory, mother and son, trauma, addiction, and being Black in this country. Boy, what a good read. #Reading #BlackHistoryMonth #kieselaymon
