Great list, Mel! Along the lines of learning about Blackness and Palestine, I recently read The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Definitely recommend. He covers both.

My two favorite books this year were North Woods by Daniel Mason (fiction, which I don’t read much of) and A Therapeutic Journey by Alain de Botton (a writer and modern day philosopher - his books are very readable and really make you think).

I use my Kindle at night because it allows me to shut off all the lights and have dim back-light so I can fall asleep more readily. Do you know about BookBub? They tell you about ebooks that are selling for $1.99 or $2.99. I get a daily email from them with my category preferences. Of course, the library is cheaper still!
