Before I launch into books, I want to address the happenings in our country. But I also don’t know how to address it. I am not racist, but I know I can do better & I have a lot of learning and reading and outreach to do. And as a parent, I have a responsibility to help my child see, appreciate, respect, and love all the color in our world. I know it’s going to take effort on my part. I live in a very white place and the effects of that on me, my family, and my neighbors are evident, but I’m committed to doing better and loving more. Please know I’m not ignoring the issues when I talk about books- I’m just working on better myself at home, in my neighborhood, and beyond.

Twice a year Erin (and Vinay) host a book challenge. I’ve only completed it once, but that doesn’t stop me from trying.

It starts July 1st & ends October 31st. No repeats. Only 1 reread. Rules found here.

I own at least 6 of these, so I’m also pretty excited to pare down my owned & unread!
