The Joy of Little Free Libraries

Lets Read 2020-07-24 | If you're curious about Little Free Libraries in your area, head to littlefreelibrary.org

During the pandemic some libraries have been converted into supply boxes, providing cans of food, toiletries and a few other supplies. I thought that was fascinating.

Friday Reads, July 10, 2020

Lets Read 2020-07-11 | A no frills Friday reads.

Seji from The Artisan Geek has some Very fair and level criticism of the community, in her video Hopelessness and exclusion from the reading community. Specifically the call to not tokenize black creators.
youtu.be/pEIETa-IjeY

Ruth from KindleReads has an excellent video that has helped frame these current events into a very real and emotional perspective. This is the video that made me aware of The Black Poets.
youtu.be/ztaJRTn8OI8

Tori from ToriMorrow has some wonderful reading recommendations and thoughts, along with powerful admonitions as how we can be better allies.
youtu.be/6oTzzwMqVlk

To quote Ashley from Bookish Realm's - I don't Trust You - "It sucks that it took the death of a black man for ya'll to feel like I'm important" "My life is not your next social media trend" I believe the video has been removed, but I feel it's important to share the quote.

These issues aren't isolated to a small region of the world. There's history we don't know even from places nearby. I'd recommend watching Secret Alberta: The Former Life of Amber Valley
youtube.com/watch?v=OxXJubB2cPQ

Stay safe, be kind and let's learn as we can.

I should have added that I'm reading The Dollmaker by Nina Allan. Does anyone read these? Bonus points if you do.

Lets Read - Spring Book Tag

Lets Read 2015-06-03 | This was recorded in April. Didn't have time and almost didn't upload this due to not liking the angle and looking/feeling incredibly tired. One thing I wish I'd done more was talk about the stories in the books. A quick "just make a video" attempt after not making videos for a while.

The window for Spring has been missed but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying the nice weather anyway.

Oh and if anyone knows who created the tag please let me know in the comments.
