White Fragility by Robin Diangelo – audiobook = ♦ ♦ ♦

NetGalley ARC: The Dilemma by B. A. Paris – ebook = ♦ ♦ ♦

I’ve been reading a lot of books about racism and injustices, and while White Fragility is an okay book, I find that other books have been much more powerful. So far I would highly recommend anything by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson and So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo. I decided to balance my reading by listening to some Nancy Drew on audio. I was pleasantly surprised that Laura Linney narrates those novels. Also, I finally finished The Dilemma. I should have a review of that posted soon.

I didn’t have a lot of reading time this last week. I have been putting in some long hours at work due to pending deadlines and actually got my taxes filed. I only completed a couple of audiobooks that I listened to during my commute time to and from work and while I was doing household chores. I did start the intimidating Anna Karenina. My friend and I are getting together later this week to discuss Part 1 & 2. It is actually quite enjoyable so far.

I spent much of the last week watching my niece and nephew, who kept me too busy and exhausted to being able to read much. I don’t know how you mothers out there find time or energy to read.

I’m about to head out in two days on my final summer vacation trip of the year. Ireland & Northern Ireland here I come! (This should explain my choice to read Frank Delaney’s Ireland.) In preparation for the trip, I have plenty of Kindle books downloaded and managed to decide on one physical book I will take with me and leave behind when I am finished. Normally I find that accommodations tend to have a little library I can donate to. Plus, who am I kidding, I will definitely be visiting bookstores while I am there and will most likely buy at least one more book. I’m packing an extra bag in case I get carried away.

I’m about to finish my month of reading Bill Bryson and will be moving on to reading Rainbow Rowell soon (Focus on Authors Challenge). I’m switching from some nonfiction to YA, so it should be a different reading experience for sure.

I’ve spent the last week trying to complete some books for readalongs and an IRL book club that I just attended. However, I am very much looking forward to diving into some Agatha Christie books, as she is my June Focus on Authors selection. I’ve been an Agatha Christie fan, since I was a kid.

I left book club on Monday evening and immediately started watching the Good Omens series on Amazon Prime. I’m really enjoying it so far!

I am finishing up my Winter Reading List this month but am no where near completing everything on that list. Hopefully I have better luck with my upcoming Spring Reading List. I just finished reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in February and will be switching to some nonfiction with David McCullough during March. (See my 2019 A Focus on Authors Reading Challenge).
