Aerogrammes: And Other Stories
Tania JamesBook # 3 of 2023: AEROGRAMMES by Tania James. So grateful to @rebeccamakkai for introducing me to @taniajam's work. "My mother had been the only religious one in the family.

Somebody to Love: The Story of Valerie June's Sweet Little Baby Banjolele
Valerie June Hockett@rebeccamakkai Okay, so she encompasses a number of genres, but country is definitely in there. If you haven't listened to VALERIE JUNE, she is AMAZING. Her connection to creative spark is unlike any other human on this planet. (Maybe my favorite song is Somebody to Love.)
