#seriousmoonlight

@j3nn_benn is easily one of my favorite contemporary ya authors and #seriousmoonlight did not disappoint. I am seriously in awe of how Jenn Bennett crafts these characters and plot so seamlessly. Each and every story along with every character is unique and memorable. I loved the chemistry between Birdie and Daniel, it off the charts. Their banter was so much fun. The pacing is also perfect, which can be tricky with contemporary novels. I highly recommend this one to everyone. Now excuse me while I anxiously await Jenn's next book. #bookstagram #books #booksilove #bookrecommendations #bookrecs #reader #readerlife #readersofinstagram #readersofig #ya #yafiction #yacontemporary #yabookstagram #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vH83dgBTZ/?igshid=tcx7xhy62qra

Do you love Jenn Bennett books?? 💫 I read Alex, Approximately and Serious Moonlight last year and absolutely adored them both!! I recently got a copy of Starry Eyes so I really want to read that asap, the premise sounds so good - two frustrated kids stuck in the woods together both secretly in love with the other? Yes. Yes x 1739374490. We love a good hate to love romance with some good old fashioned camping thrown in! 😂 Who is your favorite contemporary author? I feel like I’m always talking fantasy as a blogger so today is a contemporary/romance appreciation day! 💗 #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #yalit #bookstagram #jennbennett #alexapproximately #starryeyes #seriousmoonlight #romance #yaromance #teenromance #bookworm #instabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZA7cFHRjr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1by8r6ppju0tb

Good afternoon friends, and Happy Memorial Day to anybody celebrating! 🇺🇸 Apologies for my lack of posting this past month, as soon as I left school I had a ton of unpacking, cleaning, and reading to catch up on. It took me a while to work up the motivation to start a new theme (since I’m not in my dorm room anymore), which I’m honestly still struggling with. So sorry in advance for what’s probably going to be a messy, indecisive feed until I get a new set-up figured out! - If you watch my stories you might’ve seen that I recently finished Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett! It was a super fun summer romance with the best outdoorsy setting, although the main character wasn’t my favorite protagonist that Bennett’s ever written. The only YA romance of hers that I have left to read is The Anatomical Shape of a Heart, which I’m excited to read hopefully at some point this summer! - Are you a fan of Jenn Bennett’s books?? Which one is your favorite? I’m also ridiculously excited for her upcoming YA historical fantasy, The Lady Rogue! 🖤 - #bookstagram #bookworm #bookish #bookobsessed #bookaholic #booklover #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #jennbennett #starryeyes #alexapproximately #seriousmoonlight #theanatomicalshapeofaheart #simonteen #yaromance #romance #yalit #booknerd #booknerdigans https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-h1oEAeI9/?igshid=1ua85qvoxfwpu

Based on the form of Vodou flags (drapo Vodou), Betye Saar's "Snake in the Heart" (1987, from the 1988 'House of Fortune' installation of found objects and recycled materials, drawings, and sequin works) is reproduced from 'Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight,' published by @delmonico_books & @icamiami ⁠ ⁠ Haitian-American novelist Edwidge Danticat writes: "When previous occupants of a place, particularly dead occupants, refuse to move on, we call that place haunted, and we call those entities ghosts. Objects, too, can become ghosts and they are not always unwelcome. Sometimes we actually need them to congregate and mingle in order to help us reframe the past before moving on. The longing for tangible markers, symbols, and sites is a powerful yearning in people whose basic humanity has always been and continues to be questioned. Saar offers us some of those markers in her collages, installations, and sculptures. It is a gift and a blessing that can never be underestimated."⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by @stphsdl ⁠ Foreword by @alexgartenfeld ⁠ Text by @sampadaaranke @edwidgedanticat ⁠ Interview by @leahollman⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @betyesaar #betyesaar #betyesaarseriousmoonlight #seriousmoonlight #snakeintheheart #betyesaarsnakeintheheart⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CispIE9JPMh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Memory of Fire" (1987) — from Betye Saar's 1998 'House of Fortune' installation — is reproduced from 'Serious Moonlight,' the catalog to Saar's recent exhibition at @icamiami ⁠ ⁠ In 'House of Fortune,' @betyesaar combines a variety of spiritual and religious traditions that deal with fate and future. She is quoted: "It is not that I’m emulating Haitian Vodou or New Orleans Hoodoo or Chango or Santeria. I just take a little bit from each one. … It’s one planet and how everybody contributes to that through their ethnic origins or their cultural practices."⁠ ⁠ 'Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight' is published by @delmonico_books & @icamiami ⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by @stphsdl ⁠ Foreword by @alexgartenfeld ⁠ Text by @sampadaaranke @edwidgedanticat ⁠ Interview by @leahollman⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #betyesaar #betyesaarseriousmoonlight #seriousmoonlight #memoryoffire #betyesaarmemoryoffire⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CisXo5BuvHv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Celestial Universe" (1988, dye painting on silk, 95 x 139 in.) is reproduced from 'Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight,' the new release from @delmonico_books & @icamiami ⁠ ⁠ Published to accompany Saar's recent exhibition at @icamiami ⁠this 208-page hardcover features rarely seen installation works that exemplify this pioneering artist’s critical focus on Black identity and Black feminism. The jacket is a poster of "Celestial Universe" that can be taken off the book, unfolded and hung on the wall!⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by @stphsdl ⁠ Foreword by @alexgartenfeld ⁠ Text by @sampadaaranke @edwidgedanticat ⁠ Interview by @leahollman⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @betyesaar #betyesaar #betyesaarseriousmoonlight #seriousmoonlight⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CisDPBduLv0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
