August in Chicago is a point of contention. For summer lovers, August is the last month of guaranteed sunshine and festivals. For me, it is a soggy humid month which challenges my sanity. I was not built for this heat. So, when I set up my reading plan for the year I thought I would... Continue Reading →
When I set my reading intention in January, July was intended to be "reading green." I intended to read about nature and the environment.

To offset this I will be looking for fiction books written by black authors to read... Continue Reading →
