    Love the shirt, it's very true for me haha. Oh nice that you tried another renee watson book and enjoyed it too! Don't worry you're correct, I was the one who recommended twisted/don't touch my hair. It was one of my favourite books in the year I read it! So glad you learned from it too and appreciated it. Hood feminism is one I really want to read as well. Malala's and Samra's memoirs sound good. I read I Am Malala a long time ago in school and should read her next book. Great wrap up!

      Thank you! I hope you like Hood Feminism if/when you read it. I haven't read I Am Malala, but it sounds like a good one too. Thank you!

    I hope you’re feeling better. I’ve struggled with anxiety most of my life, so I’m much better now and I found it’s often helpful to discuss it openly if you’re able to. I love nonfiction and always found it helpful in many ways. It’s late so I’m going to watch the other half of your video Another day. Sending healing vibes your way. Aloha

    Ha Gaia, I love the shirt. I think that suits most of us. Wow 10 books at once? I just can't do it. Watch us Rise sounds like it would be a pretty good read. I will have to check into that one. I really enjoyed the Percy Jackson series as well I have another series by Riordan that I need to get to as well. I feel like Murakami is a difficult read, so I have not even attempted anything by him. Great reading month for you Gaia! Happy Reading!

    You've had a great reading month. Quite a few of the books are on my wishlist/tbr - We Haven't Always Been Here, Don't Touch My Hair, Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race. It was really interested to hear your thoughts on all three books. Thanks 😀

      Thank you!! I hope you like the books if you decide to read them 😃!

    Hope you feel better soon. What a good idea to read multiple books on racism concurrently. It seems like a good way to take in a nuanced and well-rounded perspective on this complex topic.

    Hood Feminism and Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race have been on my TBR for a long time. I really gotta get to those soon!

    Sounds like a lot of good books!! My sister gave me a copy of Hood Feminism but I haven’t read it yet. I think I have a copy of Black Fatigue as well. I’ve read one novel (Sputnik Sweetheart) and one short story (I can’t remember) by Murakami… I did like them in some ways not probably not enough to make me want to read a ~1000 page novel of his - I might try some more of his shorter ones and if I like them maybe one day will give Iq84 a go! Hope you are well!

      Hi Jimi!! I hope you are well too! I hope you like Hood Feminism and Black Fatigue. I haven't read Sputnik Sweetheart.. I don't think I own that one. He's an unusual author for sure. I liked 1Q84 but it's not for everyone so yes that makes sense. Maybe if you try some more of his shorter works first. Thanks, I'm doing okay, I hope you are doing well too! Sending you love and hugs x.

    I'm sorry to hear you have been struggling, if you ever want to have a chat about mental health stuff send me a wee email or reach out on twitter I know it can be tough at times.
    Wow 10 books at a time would stress me out too but well done for powering through.
    I've a few of these on my wishlist aswell, it's interesting that the author tailored her book specifically to the Netherlands its great to talk about really specific issues close to home that can challenge your beliefs or views on your own surroundings.
