A Girl’s Guide to Vampires is Book 3 in the #20BooksofSummer challenge! @katiemacalister

Mules and Men #folktales #anthropology #hoodoo
Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston can be a hilarious read at times, all while giving insight into 1930s Floridian black communities in the swamps. Yet, this collection can struggle because it ultimately doesn’t know how to be what it wants to be.

Andi’s fat obsession neuters her. It takes away her agency and renders her passive.
