One week to Christmas! Hope you have your shopping done. I have! I'm ready to enjoy the season and not stress out about things. I have at least one holiday dinner to get to on Monday. I have a stash of books to read and always with a crochet project to work on.
I hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or whatever holiday you celebrate and a Happy New Year
Doppelganger is the author Naomi Klein memoir of how she and another Naomi were being confused as each other. Both writers, they had vastly different views on issues. She explores how AI is affecting things as well by the ability to duplicate people.
The 272 is a recounting of how the Catholic church in America needing money chose to sell off 272 enslaved individuals to get sufficient funds to keep Georgetown University going. Some of those sold were indentured servants but had their paperwork destroyed so they could be sold. The book recounts the stories of these people, before and after the sale. Most of the people were moved from Maryland to Louisiana to work on plantations harvesting cotton and sugar came. What amazed me was that despite of their treatment, the descendants continued to be connected to the Catholic church.
Be back in the new year with more books. Taking a break for the Christmas and New Years Day since they fall on Wednesday.
Happy Reading.
Am planning to read over the holidays!
