pickI had to take breaks while reading this one. The subject matter was intense and just hit too close to home. We recent (or maybe its confirmation bias) patients coming into the ED with the need for rape kits, and I just hated the language among “professionals“ regarding these women.

pickAnother good book by Erik Larson. When you read one of his books, you are sure to learn a lot. He researches his books like no one else does. Thunderstruck is about a murder, not long after the Whitechapel murders, and the man who invented wireless communication. Larson tells parallel stories of each man until the end when they cross.
😊 Happy Reading 😊

so-soA friend suggested I read Between the World and Me, but it wasn't available, so I thought I'd get the next best thing.
I really enjoyed the first half of the book, It was thought-provoking and I found it very interesting, even learning a thing or two.
The second half I found a bit boring and laborers to get though. I'm not denying the importance of the subject matter, it was just that I didn't really feel a connection to it.
pickDeconstructing the idea that Africans in America are a monolith, 90 brilliant writers contribute to the extraordinary four-hundred-year journey of African Americans.
A stunning accomplishment and a must read for a true understanding of American history and its present.

I have got to get out of this strange run of romance novels and smut… so here we go.

so-soThis 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?

pick5⭐️ 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 ⬇️
