So clearly I’m writing this on Tuesday, so I don’t know what happened yesterday. Let’s just say that. I’m super tired though as I write this, and hopefully everyone is doing okay.

Thank you again to Sam @ Taking on a World of Words for hosting this weekly meme. I’m pretty sure you all know the drill by now, but in case you don’t and you want to join, here are the three questions we always answer:

1. What are you currently reading?
2. What did you recently finish reading?
3. What do you think you will read next?

• The Blood Bride – Imogene Nix
• Girl, Woman, Other – Bernadine Evaristo
• American Royals – Katharine McGee

I had to set aside a couple of books because I just couldn’t get my head into them, but I’ll hopefully I’ll come back to them soon. Especially since I’m mostly done with White Teeth, and I really want to pay attention to The Only Good Indians.

• More Myself: A Journey – Alicia Keys
• Horrid – Katrina Leno

And clearly I couldn’t really read much last week, or at least couldn’t concentrate enough. But at least I got some things done! I was really into Alicia Keys’ autobiography, and I’m so glad that I was able to listen to it. I love her voice. It was really so soothing, and I loved hearing more about her life and her story. There was so much that I didn’t know about her, and I feel like it was really nice to just get to know about the real her, and a lot of what she didn’t reveal to the public because it wasn’t our business, you know? It was just really nice to hear her open up.

• Something to Talk About – Meryl Wilsner
• Shadow Girl – Liana Liu
• Wild Savage Stars – Kristina Perez

There are SO MANY BOOKS that I still need to read though, so I’ll eventually get to them. And I know this list keeps changing, and changing, and changing…. but I’ll eventually get to them!

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” ~ Jorge Luis Borges ✨ QOTD: Do you have a “borrowed” section of your home book collection? ✨ AOTD: With the new shelves that Mark built for me last weekend, I now have this top shelf here in my living room dedicated to all of the physical library books that I have borrowed so they are all in one place. I used to be an uncultured swine and leave them on the kitchen table 🤦🏾‍♀️ At least I can display them! And make sure I return them on time 😳 ✨ #librarybooks #books #weneeddiversebooks #booklover #bookdragon #bookwyrm #bookworm #bookstagrammer #readersofig #shelfie #bookshelf #bookaddict #booknerd #qotd #quotesonlibraries

I know that the list of books that I have on this shelf has increased and all that… so I’ll definitely need to update this photo eventually… pretty soon actually so that I can make sure that I know what’s on my list.

Yay for hump day though. Can’t wait for this week to be overrrrrr.
