This felt like a summary of a lot of books I've previously read.
There's a lot of useful information in bite size chunks you can use as needed for different areas of personal growth. But it doesn't do a deep dive into any one area. So if you know what you'd like to grow in I'd suggest finding a book that goes more in-depth.

Honouring the contributions and achievements of the Black community this month and every month. What better place to start than with the brilliant mind of James Baldwin!

The murder of 28 children in Atlanta between 1979 -1981, is used as a jumping off point to dissect race and race relations in America, as only the great James Baldwin can.

What‘s your favourite work by James Baldwin?

PurpleyPumpkin This sounds so interesting. Strangely enough, I‘ve not yet read a JB book. I must rectify that! Would this be a good book to start with? Or is there another that you‘d recommend to begin with? 1d
PurpleyPumpkin And a big welcome to Litsy!😉 1d
Treena Reads @PurpleyPumpkin A really great one but not sure it‘s an appropriate one to start with. I‘ve only read 4 of his works, so I am not sure I would be the best to advise you. However, the Guardian- my trusted source for all things book has wrote this article https://www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/aug/02/where-to-start-with-james-... 13h

5⭐️ I watched the whole trail of Alex Murdaugh when it was on CourtTV. I was happy to find this book on the LibbyApp and read it. It brought into the whole crazy story the history of the Murdaugh Family. The first part of the book was about Alex's great-great-grandfather and how he opened the law firm in 1920. It showed how the Murdaugh's have always thought they were above the law. It was like it was ingrained into them. I think this is ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read is an excellent book. If you were intrigued by the case, this is a most read. It is well-written and well researched. All True Crime fans should read it.

😊 Happy Reading 😊 #TrueCrime #Nonfiction #Read2025 ##Bookspinbingo

A really solid book! Overall this book really forces you to evaluate your thought process and why you believe what you believe.
The authors focus on a few narrow topics that are pretty controversial and spark highly emotional responses. But their principles apply to pretty much every area of life. Are you convinced of a mindset based off heuristics or based off quantitative data? Be aware of the why behind your life choices

What a hard book to read! The sad truth is that it really happens in America. We put our trust in the police, prosecutors, and judges, yet some just want to win and don't care about the lives they harm. John Grisham can great fiction and nonfiction superbly. 4⭐️

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Unfortunately I didn't get to finish The Wedding People before it was due back at the library. I think I'll try this one next. It's been on my TBR forever, and I'm trying to get back into meditation and mindfulness. Thich Nhat Hanh should be a good guide.

The true victims of conspiracy theories are those that suffer from the lack of benefits from the very thing that could save them but is demonized by those that are choosing to ignore the factual evidence.
