I‘m way behind on my reading goal for the year & doubt I‘ll catch up. I‘m committing to this stack (for now, lol) for the Fall & started powering down in the evenings to read. It feels good to get back in a reading groove. The chill of fall and impeding winter will likely help my groove. Bar reading with bourbon soon come. 💕📚

DivineDiana Baby steps. All good! 👏🏻📚👏🏻 6y

Finished this yesterday & considered abandoning it a few times. I stopped caring about the characters toward the end, but I pushed through.

It‘s been awhile, Litsy. I‘ve also been in a reading slump. Hopefully this helps me turn the corner.

Book and a bar. I've had people tell me it's strange to read at a bar. But it doesn't bother me one bit, I do it all the time. I should compile a list of my favorite Philly bars to bring a book. Haha.

I'm already slightly annoyed with the lack of quotation marks. But I'm going to power through this one.

I decide to pick up something light and fun to break the cycle of intense, heavy books I've been reading lately.

Martin Luther King Jr. replaced Vernon Johns as pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist church in Montgomery, AL. Jones was said to be too militant. This sermon, "It's Safe to Murder Negroes in Montgomery" is a taste of him in the pulpit. Whew.

I found my way back to this book after setting it aside for awhile. I tend to have 3 books in rotation at any given time. How about for you?

Maybe sometimes it's worth it to go around in circles. Maybe you learn more lessons that way.

This Kindle is old, one of two (the other burned out) but it does the job. I prefer traditional books, but it's hard to pass up a book for $2.99.

Weakness is treating someone as though they belong to you. Strength is knowing that everyone belongs to themselves.
