It was fun hearing about your reads! Have a great week!
Happy you've enjoyed it. Have a good weekend!
I love the little escapees from your bun! Very cute.
Thank you! 😊
I really appreciate your thoughts. Always well expressed
Aww, thank you very much!!
Some great sounding reads. Hope you enjoy diary of a void as much as I did.
I hope so too! ☺️
I often find my hair has a life of its own. ;-) Enjoyed the video as always.
Yep. It's just as stubborn as I am 😆
It sounds like you’re on a good reading streak! ❤️📚
Better than my walking streak, thats for sure. 🤣
I love Murderbot he is more human in so many ways than the humans are.
That is so very true!!
I’m so glad you liked Now in November. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. Great glasses by the way! 😊
Ah, happy you like the glasses! ☺️ I probably wouldn't have discovered Josephine Johnson if it hadn't been for you. And I'm very excited to reading the nonfiction book you gifted me for my birthday.
Diary of a Void was one of the first books I read this year and it remains one of the most impactful! Looking forward to hear what you think.
That makes me even more excited to read it!
I’m behind on reading the MurderBot books! I guess that means there is a lot of fun still in my future 😁
Yes, indeed. Thats the advantage of 'being behind', more Murderbot to look forward to 😊
I like the cross-sectional view of Ruha Benjamin’s book. I’ve heard of her work but haven’t read this. Looking forward to reading this. Thanks for sharing.
It's really good, I hope you will like i!
@ I’m making a note to touch base with you after I have read this. Thanks again.
@@sochiazuh Yes, please do!!
You gave me a chuckle Britta on the hair😂 and I'm noting a few of your reads for future. I've been diagnosed with macular degeneration, start treating next week, so reading is tough right now😢but I enjoy your reviews.
Oh, no! I'm so, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, that's tough. I hope the treatment works!! And happy that my unruly hair made you laugh a little at least. Thinking of you and sending healing vibes!! ❤️
@ aww that means a lot! Thank you🌹
Britta, have you heard of Kate Briggs's new book, The Long Form? Just published in the US by Dorothy Project. All about motherhood and literature. Great interview with Kate Briggs on the podcast Between the Covers if you are interested in learning more! Great Recent Reads, as always!!
Hi Sarah! I have missed that one, obviously. Thank you very much for the tip, it sounds great! ❤️
