Good morning all! I know I’m already lagging behind. I’m not good with making lists and sticking to the list. My book choices fluctuate with the mood and emotional state I find myself in manifesting in ways of feeding into meltdown, pulling myself out of meltdown, feeding my knowledge, feeding my soul (with comedy or
Friends, I picked up a ridiculous five dollar read called Pop Goes the Murder since I don’t get around to many mystery books, especially those with silly titles and funny covers– I grabbed this in an attempt to humor myself into distraction but it’s not working. I am so overwhelmed by the political climate in the
A new activity we are embracing during the Winter Reading Wonderland is reading a piece together as a group. For this inaugural group read we will be checking out Roxane Gay’s “Why I am a Bad Feminist,” which is the first essay in her book Bad Feminist. I am looking forward to hearing what fellow readers
Hello all! I attempted to start the reading challenge last winter, and quickly realized that the events of the year (personal and universal) would distract me from being able to sit down and stay committed.
