I know you are thinking there is nothing weird about empathy and you are right, we all know the word and understands its meaning. But it is a word and action that is now being criticized and used as if it were evil. When I hear Christians say that to empathize is unchristian I don‘t even have the words to address how far away from Christianity you are that you believe that.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

#PublishesTomorrow #ARC #NetGalley I‘m sorry but at 45% I‘ve had enough 🤪 This book about a tech billionaire who gathers his college friends for a reunion on his private island started out great but this is the year I #HailTheBail and stop wasting my time on books that aren‘t working for me. This became wayyyyy to convoluted and went wayyyyyt off the rails #NoThanks
bailed⭐️ ◼️ I couldn‘t find the actual book on here….This is only the third book in my entire life that I DNF‘d (Did Not Finish). I feel guilty and like a total failure. I tried to push through it and got about 70 percent done but I couldn‘t do it. It was total Deja vue (not spelled right) I felt like I read it already….or maybe I have just read to many Beauty and the Beast retellings. It‘s also my #March #bookspin #LitsyLove
Woohoo 🙌🏻 Finally, Marion #PREACH ❣️❣️I‘ve been waiting for this book to start moving and now on page 366, I feel the beginnings of a great story 📚 Up until this point, I‘ve felt like this novel was a bit of a slough. I‘m here for it, Pastor Russ Hildebrandt is a total A-hole( nicest word I could think of). Hope the next 200 pages don‘t disappoint.
so-soOy! What to say....I get why this book was loved by so many & I don‘t want to take away from that, but for me this book was wayyyyy too sappy & boarded on cheesy. The underlying message while beautiful was delivered so heavy handedly. I‘m afraid this was #MoreMehThanYeah #Booked2021 #LibraryOrLibrarianInBookTitle
pickI‘d encourage people doing the #pop21 challenge to read a Fat Liberation book instead #BodyPositivity book. Fat Liberation not only deals with feeling better about the body you‘re in and your relationship with weight, food, and exercise but it also includes dismantling the system of oppression of fat people. That is everything from making airplanes more comfortable for everyone to size-inclusive fashion to being treated well at the doctor. ⬇️
#WeeklyForecast - lots going on with various challenges and the like! Still trying to finish May's Bonanza books. I'm almost done with The Well-Wishers, which is book 17e. Amber & Dusk is June's #BookSpin. I'm currently reading My One Square Inch of Alaska (so-so at this point) for #LMPBC and also have Winterwood to read for my other group. I'm hoping to read 10 books for #ReadYourSign - so far, two down, and these are the three most likely to ⬇

Isn't Jesus the one who taught so-called “Christ“ians to turn the other cheek and to love one another?
