I always love your books, they are so interesting. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am almost done with Hood Feminism already and am jumping right back into it as soon as I am done responding to comments. It's fantastic and has really opened my eyes about how my own feminism is not far-reaching enough.
DeleteI guess a lot of us live in a sort of bubble as we are used to our restrictions and appreciate how well we are in comparison. But your are right, never enough.
DeleteThere are many issues she addresses that I have never had to deal with, and that was really the eye-opening part. I've never considered before that food insecurity, housing insecurity, etc. are also feminist issues. We are by no means well-off, but we are solidly middle class and there's so much more work I need to do to confront poverty for our Sisters of Color.
DeleteThat's what I mean with the bubble. My parents weren't rich but there was always food on the table, a place to sleep and clothes to wear.
DeleteExactly! So, so, so much more work to be done.
DeleteJust Two? Impressive! I have a bumper crop I'm afraid but the good news is that most of them are fiction and, I think, few should make their way onto your TBR list.

You are correct, my TBR is mostly safe this week! I might be interested in Transcendence. Not putting it on the TBR just yet though.
DeleteMall trip next week so... something to 'look forward' to!
DeleteUgh. I am going to have to read like twenty books from my TBR this week to prepare for your mall trip, lol
DeleteI love to sew so I am going to have to get The Golden Thread ASAP.
ReplyDeleteIt's really interesting so far, and I am not talented in any way that involves sewing, knitting, crocheting, etc. You would definitely like it I think.
DeleteLooks like good reading. I need to read since I logged on to Twitter and discovered the world is on fire lol. why do I go to Twitter? Ha
ReplyDeleteYep, pretty much. Just had a shooting here at one of our malls a couple hours ago. Same mall that had a mass shooting about 14 years ago. Not sure how many injured, it is a small number but any number is too many. This is insane. Oh, plus you know, cops continuing to murder unarmed men of color.
DeleteYour books are ALWAYS interesting! Such a great eye LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you! I try to read about a lot of different topics and there are so many that really catch my interest.
DeleteMore interesting books for your collection!
ReplyDeleteYes! I have already finished Hood Feminism and it is fantastic. It really opened my eyes as to how my own feminism does not go far enough and showed me what I can do to help make space for our Sisters of Color to have their voices heard.
DeleteOoh, the first one looks like something I should get my mom who loves to sew. Hope you enjoy your new books!

I really like it so far! And I am not at all someone who knows how to sew or knit or crochet or whatever. Hood Feminism is also fantastic.
