The Trials of Baromir (Tales of Baromir series)
In this fantasy story, Baromir goes on vacation for two weeks. He goes on adventures with a dwarf looking for a fight, a female mage, and a dragon who disguises himself as an elf.
Starting this legendary series of books again! I didn’t actually read the very last one, because after Terry died I didn’t really want it to be over. Now it’s been a few years, and I originally started reading the series about 30 years ago (!) so it’s about time to reacquaint myself 📖

This book unpacks the various reasons for violence in the Black community, while also analyzing its social, cultural, economic and personal toll.
My favorite part of the book is when he elaborates on the roots of violence, going back to the days of slavery, ultimately explaining that it all comes back to the fact that the systems in our country are very flawed and broken.

It's almost my birthday :blobcatcheer: and I plan to ask for another book or book series as my present :catsip: :catsip: :catsip: I just think I deserve it lol
I am not sure which book I'd ask for though. Last year (before the total collapse of it all), I asked for the Harry Potter series. I had been dying to get the physical copies of them since I became a fan back in highschool. :blobcathug: :blobcathug: :blobcathug: But since the issue with 𝘚𝘩𝘦-𝘞𝘩𝘰-𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭-𝘕𝘰𝘵-𝘉𝘦-𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘥, it became stale and I practically had the longest reading slump in my entire life so far.
I wish that whatever book or book series I pick relieves me from my slump. Then I'll finally rejoin reading spaces and (maybe) even join in ʙᴏᴏᴋᴛᴏᴅᴏɴ :blobcatcoffee: :blobcatcoffee: :blobcatcoffee:
