It’s no secret I love to read. (I also have a compulsion to buy books from our local library’s “quarter” shelves, but that’s another issue for another time.) Once in a while, I get questions about the books I read—titles that cause others to raise an eyebrow or pull back in surprise. Because assumption does not always tell a true tale, I thought it might be helpful (or at least clarifying) to share my approach to what I read and why I do it, because it all comes back to belonging.
Currently reading: Reading Black Books: How African American Literature can Make our Faith More Whole and Just by Claude Atcho. Each chapter discusses a different book from the cannon of African American literature. Definitely leading me to pick up books I wouldn't normally gravitate toward and the author's faith discussion has been rich. Would recommend.
Yes! This is why I read. Thank you Sarah for putting it together in words!!!

What a lovely way to view reading! I stick my finger in the current paperback I'm reading and lift in salute 📚
