Right now ☕️. Spring break started today and wouldn’t ya know it - this mama woke up with a nasty ol’cough and I’m on sleeve island. Soooo...I admit it...I bribed the kidlets so I could take a bit of quiet time in my room after a busy day and I’m hiding near the inevitable pile of laundry (not shown..lol..ain’t nobody wants to see that..lol)🧺 😋. I realized it’s been ages since I did a #bookmeetsknitter post and since I’ve been reading a ton lately I thought it was time to check in with you all and see what books you’re reading and enjoying/learning from.
.
Help me get off sleeve island and fill me in on your faves (or not faves) in the comments below. I love hearing from you and adding new books to my @goodreads list (I’m on there as Shannon Cook if you want to friend me) 📚.
.
Books I’m currently reading: 1) White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo 2) So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo 3) Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi 4) Becoming Anti-Racist Workbook by @wherechangestarted L. Glenise Pike. I’ve also read a few other fiction titles since our last post and you can see those on my Goodreads as well. Most of my reading has been non-fiction lately. Yarn is @suburbanstitcher .
