For March, Ian chose Kiese Laymon's: Heavy as his reading choice. Heavy is a memoir that is, well, heavy, taking the form of a letter written to the author's mother. In the letter, Laymon opens up and discusses his life and upbringing to this point both from the viewpoint of a family dynamic, but also as a black man born in the 70s. Heavy explores not only the physical heaviness a person carries with them, but also the spiritual, and any other kinds that come with living a life.
For the month of April, Ronnie chose a debut novel by Bethany Baptiste: The Poisons We Drink! Make sure to read along and tweet any thoughts to us over at Twitter.Com/@sharedpagespod
