This book is all over the place, but in a good way. Exploring the multiverse, dealing with the FBI, Jasper the dog, kidnapped children, spies, art theft, making umbrellas, and a missing woman who‘s become part of the house. Great setting for quirky characters and their various capers taking place in a very interesting house on an isolated island.

pickA short but very timely read, I breezed through this book and by all the quotes I posted you should be able to tell that I found most of it very useful & quite interesting, even if disheartening at times. Definitely a must read for our current times....although sadly it most likely won't be read by the portion of the population that could benefit from it. 😕

pickVery moving graphic novel, with contributions from multiple artists expressing their fear, sadness, loss, hope, and bravery (plus so much more) following The Pulse nightclub shooting. Definitely worth checking out, but bring your tissues with you. #ManyStoriesMonday #OwnVoices #MulticulturalMonday #DiversityMonday

Finishing up one audiobook (a re-read for me) before a discussion group & starting the other for @LitsyFeministBookClub (better late than never😉). Looks like a good set for a #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoriesMonday #WNDB photo.
Side note: Between the World and Me is even more powerful on audio & the 2nd time around...so much more has happened this past year right in front of our eyes, live on the news, that it's even more visceral this time 😢
Great note from the author on this book!

pickFunny take on the serious issues of racism & other-ness in the US written and read by an Iranian-American Social Justice Comedian. A nice break from super serious reading, but also a funny & thoughtful look at the Muslim American experience in this country during a time when muslims are often discriminated against as being all radical, terrorists, etc.Now off to look up her TED talk. 😉 #WNDB #DiversityMonday #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoryMonday
Heading to bed with my #manyvoicesMonday #diversityread, and it's so good! #MulticulturalMonday #wndb #litsyafterdark #lemonadesyllabus @LitsyFeministBookClub

pickI remember reading this on my phone while making a huge pot of chili, browning and stirring with one hand and swiping pages with the other because I #CouldntPutItDown even though we had dinner guests coming! #unputdownable #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge @RealLifeReading A good one for #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoriesMonday #WNDB #DiversityMonday too.
