@meklitmusic @meronhadero Congratulations! A DOWN HOME MEAL FOR THESE DIFFICULT TIMES. What an inviting title! I just read Meron's essay in the @AltaJournal e-newsletter. Love the observations about the #BayArea lit scene. One day, I *will* make it to the African Book Club that @meetingfaith hosts! 🤓

@TheBookMaven Happy Friday,Bethanne! I'm finishing IN PRAISE OF SLOWNESS by Carl Honore such a great read in this moment. I see why it's an int'l bestseller. And my whole understanding of facilitating and mediation is broadened by reading HOLDING CHANGE by Adrienne Maree Brown. #FridayReads

@lakemarkham Potlikker Papers?! My mom is from SC…I grew up with appreciation for potlikker. ☺️ Speaking of cookbooks, just finished TASTE by Stanley Tucci. Loved listening to it. And because of the recipes throughout, I now need to buy the book. It’s food memoir meets recipe book. Love.

@TheBookMaven Happy Friday, Bethanne! I'm intrigued a/b AGATHA. I did not think I would be *so* wrapped up in NOTHING TO SEE HERE by Kevin Wilson. ❤️‍🔥 It's like desert at the end of these long summer days. Also reading THUNDER IN THE SOUL by Abraham Joshua Heschel. Ineffable. #FridayReads
