Monday's Not Coming
Tiffany D Jackson
Save to Your Books
"Jackson’s characters and their heart-wrenching story linger long after the final page, urging readers to advocate for those who are disenfranchised and forgotten by society and the system." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")
From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping novel about the mystery of one teenage girl’s disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth.
Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable—more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn’t turn up for the first day of school, Claudia’s worried.
When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help.
As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she’s gone?

[I kept wandering the city, checking my google maps for nearby bookstores. I came upon McNally Jackson.\ \ About McNally Jackson \ \
McNally Jackson Books is an independent bookstore in New York City owned and operated since 2004 by Sarah McNally. The company operates five stores across the city in Soho, Rockefeller Center, Seaport, Downtown Brooklyn, and Williamsburg, as well as three stationery stores called Goods for the Study.\ \ The first thing I saw was the huge wall of books. The lighting and bookcases made for an impressive first impression.\ \ \ \ I didn’t realize just how big the store was. I can’t remember which location I was at, but when I thought there weren’t anymore books, I found another corner.\ \ \ \ I liked how they did shelf talkers.\ \ \ \ An excellent choice of book to recommend, even if it will shred your heart to pieces.\ \ \ \ Parable of the Sower is another must read.\ \ \ \ I left with House of Frank, one of the first Bindery Books releases!\ \ \ \ When I’m in NYC another time, I’d like to visit more of the McNally locations.\ \

\ \ hey y’all\ \ I am so sorry for the radio silence on all of my social media platforms.\ \ For those of you who didn’t see my Instagram story yesterday evening I’ve been in the hospital for quite a while and I haven’t had access to my phone. I now have access to my phone, but no laptop, which is where I do my editing so I’m gonna do my best to work without it but I’m not too tech savvy with my phone lol so bare with me for a little bit please! I swear it’ll be worth it because I have a lot of giveaways coming up including five copies of Seven Heavens Away which is in the photo here and I am currently reading!\ \ These are some of the books. I am reading right now or have just finished. I’d specifically chosen some of these ones for this post because i’d like to highlight them as they are lesser known and have special meanings to me!:\ \ Red Rain was just given to me by my best pal. It is a memoir written by their close friend/ 2-Spirit mentor. I am only partway through, but it is a story like no other I have heard. It has been giving me a lot of hope specifically at this time in my life while I am in the hospital.\ \ The Autistic Survival Guide to Therapy has been a book. I’ve been working through over a few months, even though it is quite short. It was recommended to me by my previous therapist who is the first ever care worker who have been able to support and connect with me after a whole lifetime of traumatic experiences with clinicians. This book has been a godsend and I can’t believe it isn’t more well known because the information in it is so very important for both autistics and therapists/ care workers and potentially anyone who has a mental health issue and/or goes to therapy. I will be doing a full review on this book once I have processed my thoughts, but I just want to say here that if you have autism and haven’t been able to find professional support, this book might really help you. It is very accessible and has tangible suggestions for you to try out.\ \ The last book I really wanted to highlight is The Flesh Of Ice. This author was suggested to me by Cherie Dimaline, who y’all know is a fantastic storyteller and has also been a good pal to me over the last year. ( I believe she actually mailed me a different one of his books, but I haven’t been home to read it). Anyway, as I move forward on my book content creation journey I have been trying to focus on authors, who I know are just good people trying to do good things. This is what I know about this author (who by the way is two spirited). Although most of his books are not super well known, you might be familiar with one he collaborated on called Tsqelmucwílc. In the flesh of ice, Gary picks up on a previous poetry book he has written, telling stories (traumas) of survivors of the Kamloops Residential School, as well as sharing stories from their descendants. This is a really important collection for folks to read, especially Canadians. The stories shared do not hold back- name are named, horrors are shared, and the ending gives space for these folks to take back their narratives. Please do check out this author, especially if you’re into reading Indigenous, poetry, or are Canadian!\ \ Ps: if you’d love to support my work or just help me out if you’re that kinda cool person please feel free to purchase any of these books from my bookshop! Unfortunately, physical copies can’t be sent to Canada yet, but if you’re in Canada, you could get the e-book version. Physical copies available in the US (and you also get to choose which indie bookstore you want to order from so your supporting the book world in all sorts of ways!!) https://bookshop.org/shop/indigenousbookshelf](https://2spiritbookshelf.binderybooks.com/item/NS2ruGhQJrnx8h3yEQOi/)
