A friend suggested I read Between the World and Me, but it wasn't available, so I thought I'd get the next best thing.

I really enjoyed the first half of the book, It was thought-provoking and I found it very interesting, even learning a thing or two.
The second half I found a bit boring and laborers to get though. I'm not denying the importance of the subject matter, it was just that I didn't really feel a connection to it.

Deconstructing the idea that Africans in America are a monolith, 90 brilliant writers contribute to the extraordinary four-hundred-year journey of African Americans.

A stunning accomplishment and a must read for a true understanding of American history and its present.

I have got to get out of this strange run of romance novels and smut… so here we go.

This felt like a summary of a lot of books I've previously read.
There's a lot of useful information in bite size chunks you can use as needed for different areas of personal growth. But it doesn't do a deep dive into any one area. So if you know what you'd like to grow in I'd suggest finding a book that goes more in-depth.

Honouring the contributions and achievements of the Black community this month and every month. What better place to start than with the brilliant mind of James Baldwin!

The murder of 28 children in Atlanta between 1979 -1981, is used as a jumping off point to dissect race and race relations in America, as only the great James Baldwin can.

What‘s your favourite work by James Baldwin?

5⭐️ I watched the whole trail of Alex Murdaugh when it was on CourtTV. I was happy to find this book on the LibbyApp and read it. It brought into the whole crazy story the history of the Murdaugh Family. The first part of the book was about Alex's great-great-grandfather and how he opened the law firm in 1920. It showed how the Murdaugh's have always thought they were above the law. It was like it was ingrained into them. I think this is ⬇️

Love the fact I've been assigned to read this book for work!

A really solid book! Overall this book really forces you to evaluate your thought process and why you believe what you believe.
The authors focus on a few narrow topics that are pretty controversial and spark highly emotional responses. But their principles apply to pretty much every area of life. Are you convinced of a mindset based off heuristics or based off quantitative data? Be aware of the why behind your life choices

What a hard book to read! The sad truth is that it really happens in America. We put our trust in the police, prosecutors, and judges, yet some just want to win and don't care about the lives they harm. John Grisham can great fiction and nonfiction superbly. 4⭐️

😊 Happy Reading 😊
