Sometimes when I can't get enough of the book I'm reading and I've become so attached to the book, I do all other things while reading. I eat while reading, I play the book while cooking, doing dishes , baking, and even taking a shower🚿
Who else does this?
First time learning of this quote by Whoopi Goldberg was from the tagged book.
This is so freaking funny. But maybe not quite as funny as the first one. Definitely do the audio.

I had to bail on this one. It seems like a really good book, but I‘ll have to read the physical book. This book is so dense that with the audiobook, the words go in one ear and out the other.
“DiAngelo illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people‘. Referring to defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and argumentation and silence. These behaviors then function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue.”
I love Joel Christian Gill's work, but this just didn't do it for me. It felt like an adaptation from someone way too familiar with the source material; there wasn't a good flow, and it felt like things were glossed over. I would be interested in reading the original text, but I had a hard time with this version.
This book was challenging and timely (though I think this subject matter is always timely/relevant). It wasn‘t easy to listen to, but it was certainly worth it. Thought provoking and important. The narrators were very good.🎧
