I’m hosting a book club for BELOVED by Toni Morrison on my Patreon. Two paid tier levels unlock various benefits or you can join for free. This book club is for all members. We’re starting today in honor of Juneteenth
There will be discussion posts on Patreon and you can follow along with my Notes & Highlights through Goodreads if you like, HERE
I own a physical copy of the book but bought the Kindle edition for $1.99 (it’s on sale now) to do the Notes & Highlights.
The audiobook is available on hoopla at participating libraries
I’m so excited to re-read this book and experience it in this season of life. I have read it two other times before. In high school (1990) and again just before the movie came out in 1998. I always include BELOVED when I make my recommendations of the scariest books I have ever read. Nobody ever challenges me on its inclusion but I know some folks don’t consider it a horror book, but it is.
There is nothing more horrific.
No other book has emotionally crushed me the way this one did. (Betty by Tiffany McDaniel came very close but BELOVED still holds that place in my soul)
I hope you will consider joining. Reading iconic, classic, historical, books like this in a community is the best way to get the most out of your reading journey. I’m a firm believer that book discussion unlocks levels in our comprehension we never knew were there. It’s powerful!
PS. I watched this interview with Toni Morrison to prepare and I highly recommend it
