A Colorful Set of Books

My first #rainbowstack -

• DSM-5: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders by American Psychiatric Association Must have for assessment as a mental health professional

• The Kalevala Compiled by Elias Lönnrot A Finnish epic poem, bringing in my heritage

• The Dark Half by Stephen King A writer’s pseudonym comes alive and destroys everyone. Just got this for halloween in @areaderinlove’s Book-o-ween Book Swap, can’t wait to read it, love the King

• The Yellow House by Sarah Broom The story of a family and their home in New Orleans East. I used to live in NOLA and looking forward to reading this one as well (A Christmas gift from a co-worker)

• The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk About how we hold trauma in our bodies and how it affects our brain

• Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Multi-generational story of two sisters and their descendents through eight generations. Maybe the best book I’ve read in the last 2 years

Anyone read any of these?
