2022: I definitely did myself a disservice by listening to this book for my first time reading it.

I honestly knew nothing about the plot or how this book worked or what to expect before going into it. I just saw that it was available on Libby and that Toni Morrison herself was reading it, and I said let's go for it. If I had done a modicum of research, I would have realized that this novel is set up in such a way that the flashbacks would make it really difficult for me to keep the timeline straight, and I definitely should read this instead of listening to it.

Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy and diving back into it. It's certainly not Morrison's fault that I struggled with this book, and I can't wait to give it another go.
