I’m currently listening to White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo but prior to this, I listened to Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe. It was published Apr 2011 by Henry Holt and Co or Macmillan Audio if you listen to the Audible edition like I did. I’m probably going to say this overContinue reading “Stories I Only Tell My Friends – Book Review”

May Wrap Up
I didn’t read as much in May as I did in April but I still got in 15 books. I know that is a ton and that I consume books faster than most. Part of the reason that I am able to read so much is I don’t watch much new TV. I usually putContinue reading “May Wrap Up”
Currently Reading
I’ve been wanting to write and I’ve been wanting to write posts, but it’s been hard for me right now. I stayed silent yesterday in honor of #blackouttuesday and to listen and learn. In my desire to want to write, I realized how extremely privileged I am that my biggest concern right now is whatContinue reading “Currently Reading”
My June Reading Plan…
I enjoy spending time at the end of a month/beginning of next month figuring out what I want to read. I never read everything I plan.

Books About Racism
I was going to write a post today to give a wrap up of what I read for the month of May or what I’m planning to read for June but decided that wouldn’t be right. There is so much going on in our country, so much ignorance and hate. It makes my heart hurt.Continue reading “Books About Racism”

I’m always excited to see what the books are and this month especially so because I had a guess asContinue reading “Decisions, decisions… what to pick for my June BOTM box…”
Popsugar #5 – A book set in a city that hosted the Olympics
In honor of the fact that the Summer Olympics were originally going to be held this summer, Popsugar created several Olympics themed prompts including this one: A book set in a city that hosted the Olympics.

Do you play?
My first realization that I didn’t play was while reading Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes and she talked about going on a walk or something merely for the enjoyment of moving your body and not because you have a desire to fit in a particular size of jeans. I realized at that point thatContinue reading “Do you play?”
Popsugar Prompt #3 – A Book With a Great First Line
Some prompts are very straight forward like #2, you find a trans or nonbinary author, you read their book, and check… you’ve got that prompt satisfied. This prompt is a subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinion on what they think is a Great First Line. There are some very well known first linesContinue reading “Popsugar Prompt #3 – A Book With a Great First Line”
