In 2025 I’m reading on a water theme and #justfinished #TheColorofWater by #JamesMcbride- a fascinating dual memoir of Mother and son growing up in America. Lots to unpack. Lots to engage with. #bookstadon #bookreview #books #beatthebacklist https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/03/book-review-color-of-water-by-james.html?m=1
Book Review: The Color of Water By James McBride 4.5/5 stars

"Everything in this world that works has to do with people getting together and believing in one another. And so community is at the heart of many of my books, because I believe in community, I believe that happiness is a way of interpreting the world.

"The way I interpret the world is that we have much more in common than we are different. And that makes me a better person, makes me a happier person. So I always think about community that way. It helps my work and it helps me get out of bed in the morning."

- Musician and composer James McBride, author of ‘The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store’.
