pickMost of this wasn‘t earth shattering news to me, but it was a good reminder that we all need to be intentional in cultivating better communication skills. Skills that allow us to actively listen to others, encourage deeper conversations, and let others know that they are valued and seen. It‘s a positive message and an easy read.
pickI liked this book. Amanda Montell‘s writing is always interesting and insightful. I will definitely read more of her books
I got to spend some time with @the_wastrel today who recommended this book to me. It just so happens to fit the magical sparks or swirls book cover scavenger hunt prompt. I placed it on hold. If I don‘t get to it this month, I think I may attempt to participate in #NonfictionNovember next month if that‘s still a thing 😜 #HauntedShelf #SkeletonCrew
pickI enjoyed this but possibly not as much as Cultish, which I can remember a lot of and I think about often. I‘m struggling to recall a lot about this book as I read it a few months ago, but I know I love her writing and her perspective. Some good relationship wisdom in here too actually. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis explained why I feel the way I feel about being a wage slave. I‘m resistant about being plugged in to social media and dislike my employer‘s attempts to connect every work action to data. This mess we‘re in globally is quite a spiraling web. Wake up!
pickSo good!
pickOne of the best books I read so far this year. I understand why I had to wait 10 weeks for my hold to come in on Libby! Brooks combines personal anecdotes with other people's stories and observations to show how we can deepen our connections with people, whether we know them or not. In this day and age, where divorce rates are high, work is hybrid, learning is online, and politics divide, this book is especially relevant 🧩🎧
Really good read this month. I think it might have been also that I had a great break from school, so I felt ready to engage more in books :) plan to continue to prioritize my enjoyment-reading despite needing to do my #NurseLife #NurseSchool reading.

so-soIdentity is becoming. Identity is intersectional.
reading theory takes a lot of mental energy for me so I was bored
