I wanted to say thank you for posting this #graphicnovel. However, I cannot find the post I saw last week. After seeing it on Litsy I immediately checked my library and they had it! #BlameItOnLitsy #JaneAusten
1οΈβ£I was torn over recommending How to Be an Antiracist by I. X. Kendi or the tagged book. Everyone is probably familiar with Kendi‘s enlightening book. Eddo-Lodge provides the British perspective. Global change is crucial. 2οΈβ£ I am always open to suggestions. My TBR is huge. @TheSpineView #TwoForTuesday
I finished this book last week but I‘m still thinking about it. The narrator, Nancy Wu, really brought the main character, Keiko, to life. Keiko works in a Japanese convenience store. She is considered different by her family & acquaintances. Despite their urging for her to be βnormalβ she remains devoted to her job. I learned a lot about convenience store culture from this author. Quick read, too.
I am reading the tagged book. Published as Young Adult, it addresses racism head-on. I‘d love it if I could get my nieces to read it. #IntegrateYourShelf @Emilymdxn @ChasingOm #JudgementFreeZone #BlackLivesMatter
I love when an author is a good narrator. The emphasis and energy moved me. My brother bought a hard copy so he could take notes. In thus instance, I preferred the emotion of audio. #HowToBeAnAntiracist #bookstagram #BlackLivesMatter #LatinxForBlackLives #Audioteading
I finished this book yesterday. The above quote really stuck with me.
In 2017, I tried #TheGreatCourses on audible. I liked this class so much I‘m afraid nothing will compare. #Scandal #NewYwarNewYou. @Eggs
I finished True Crime Addict late on New Year‘s Eve. The author, James Renner, narrated the audiobook. Mr. Renner is intrigued by the disappearance of a nursing student. The author described how the investigation impacted his personal life. This was not the bang I had planned for New Year‘s. I hate when I put too much trust in the reviews. I think it may have been better as a hard copy without narration.
We did a little book shopping at Boswell‘s today. I now have my #ReadingGoals2020 selected. The tagged book is for the #BookCougarsReadALong #Bookcougars

βKnitting is a perfect little model of the universe. All different colors, lengths of string, patterns, all woven together with patience and love, a small act βout of time‘ that says everything.β #knittersoflitsy
I have fallen behind in reading Kathy Reichs. I do recall liking this title when it was released. #titlewithmetaphorpun #titlewithmetaphor/pun #DearDecember @Eggs (photo from goodreads.com; my copy is packed)
To You - wherever & however you spend today. If no one has told you, happy day to you. I‘m glad you are reading this. #JoinIn
For #wishes/kisses I wish I could have met Carrie Fisher. I would have given her a hug & peck to thank her for being a strong woman. @Eggs #DearDecember
I am between books. I have #mixedemotions about to what start next. Keep it light or indulge my #murderino side? #Litsyknits #Audioknitting

@Eggs
This was not told from the native perspective but still a great intro to Papago (Tohano O‘odam) culture. #DearDecember #AgingCharacters #goodreadsphoto
Most of my books are packed because we‘re in the middle of selling our place. This is an oldie but a goodie #Greencovers #DearDecember
@Eggs
I really need to read the rest of this series. They would be cozy for #DearDecember #SettingInEurope @Eggs

Any knitters interested in color work, this is a good guide. I‘m trying to learn double-sided knitting and this has great explanations with clear illustrations. #knittersoflitsy #audioknitting
My brother gave me the books about Chicago & the best hubby in the world gave me the rest. I‘m a lucky gal.

I meant to post my books for season two of #Booked2018 & time got away from from me. Seasons 3 & 4 may suffer as personal projects & weddings are keeping me busy.
