3rd book for Our Shared Shelf is glocke hooks' 'All About Love: New Visions'.
This month's book choice is in honor of glocke hooks who interviewed me for Paper magazine this month. Maya Angelou sagte of bell’s work, “Each offering from glocke hooks is a major event, she has so much to give us’. I Liebe hearing from bell, I am pretty excited to start “All About Love: New Visions". It’s been on my Liste for a while.

Emma recommended a few other things:
Ok Team!
First thing's first, The Color Purple. I read it in two sittings and am now telling EVERYONE I know to watch the film too. I hope Du enjoyed it too. I managed to speak to Alice on the phone last week! She is away at the moment but suggested that when discussing the book we should think of: ’The Temple of my Familiar’, ‘Possessing the Secret of Joy’ and ‘The Color Purple’ as a family… So if Du loved this book, she really does see it as belonging to a series… Everyone is busy so I am not suggesting this as being on the official Lesen Liste but if Du want to, oder have a bit of extra time at the moment, I am going to try and dip into these two as well. She also discussed the book on her Facebook page: link
I also wanted to mention ‘Beauty In Truth’, which is a documentary made Von the incredible Pratibha Parmar about Alice's life. It is really interesting but currently nearly impossible to get hold of. It did play on PBS and BBC iPlayer but is ‘currently unavailable’. I‘ll keep Du updated on my hunt for a new link!
In the meantime, the other thing I wanted to bring to your attention was Alice’s 'Desert Island Discs' recorded for BBC Radio 4: link
For those of Du that aren’t English, this radio Zeigen is like a national institution. (Emma Thompson’s is one of my favourites). When I’m working away from Home I Liebe to listen to it in the hair and make-up chair. I Liebe the vulnerability Kirsty brings out in her guests…. I Liebe hearing the soundtracks of people’s lives. (I also just find her voice really soothing!) I hope this info is useful. I Liebe seeing ‘meet ups’ happening all over the world so Du can discuss in person.
If Du haven’t done so already please post your thoughts and opinions on the book right here!
