found these copies of night song by @authormsbev.bsky.social at two different thrift stores days apart for about $2 total. I'm in utter disbelief. what do I even do now? should I buy a lottery ticket???
Paperback and hardcover first editions of Night Song (1994) by Beverly Jenkins side by side, cover designs are identical. On the covers a Black man and woman are facing one another as they embrace in a field of flowers with a sunset behind them. The man is shirtless, has a mustache, and is wearing blue pants with a yellow stripe down the side. The woman's hair is down and she wears a white sleevless top and a long red skirt. Author name "Beverly Jenkins" is at the top in capital letters in a light colored text. The book title "Night Song" is at the bottom of the cover, also in capital letters and a light colored text.

people are really out here saying autism gives someone a pass to be a nazi. I didn't have enough in my account for my car payment but they took it anyway. the third act breakup took this book from a five star to a three star. tomorrow I have to send emails.
