The Best Book I Read This Quarter May Surprise You
Picking the best book is like picking a favorite child for me. And so I usually post a giant list of books I loved each quarter. And I loved a lot of books. But this book about racism is so important and compelling that I’m letting it stand alone on my list of best books. #antiracism #race #racism #abelism #socialjustice #listen #metoo
Non-Fiction Books to Make You Think
While I enjoy a good story, I always appreciate non-fiction books that make me think. These two books, a Bible study and a self-help book have sparked many internal debates over the past months. Probably not what their authors intended.#amreading #bookreview #nonfiction #dreambig #biblestudy
