# 7 of 2024 is: Pure Colour, by Sheila Heti Published by @fsgbooks.bsky.social This book hurt me while it healed me, and again, and again. Heti is powerful in her recounting of what it is to be human and more than. It feels like talking to a friend, a wise mentor, or both. #books 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙

Photo of the novel Pure Colour, by Sheila Heti

“Are you sad to be living in the first draft—shoddily made, rushed, exuberant, malformed? No, you are proud to be strong enough to be living here now, one of God’s expendable soldiers in the first draft of the world. There is some pride in having been created to make a better world come. There is some pride inn being the ones who were made to be thrown out.”

Fellow bookish people of blue sky— There are few things I enjoy more than arranging and rearranging my books on their bookshelves, but I’m running out of ideas on how to switch things up; How do you all like to orient your books in their respective spaces? #books #booksky 📚💙 #bookish #bookshelves

Last winter was so warm, and unusual, and frightening I almost forgot the squish of tires driving over compacted snow (the dirty, pebbled kind, in the path of least resistance) The utter silence of snowfall. The way the snow eats up the sound. The apricity #apricity #winter #midwest #wisco

Educated me in an empathy that can’t be unlearned. Everyone is connected, in ways known and unknown. History as present—art and music as the voice of a people who won’t be silenced. Fictional characters convey this very real, human, tragedy. 4.5/5 ⭐️ #booksky 📚💙 #bookreview #books

Even in the throes of the nastiest of flare-ups, nothing soothes the mind (and thusly a bit of the body) like the acquisition of beautiful, wonderful books 📖 🤗 #booksky #books #chronicillness #chronicallyill

The Wood at Midwinter, by Susanna Clarke

I was sent this novel (through Tertulia) by @fsgbooks.bsky.social after a parlor event. @riverssolomon.bsky.social has the most skilled and enchanting writing style I have had the pleasure of devouring in a long while. This book is an experience I had the privilege of experiencing. Just read it.
