That's a fantastic list of books and I'd love to join! Are you still planning to host the meetings on Sundays?

Yay! We always have discussions in Chat plus the Zoom—I can poll folks down the line to see whether Sunday still works. I just liked doing it on the weekend as it gives folks more of a chance to make it.

these are all SO good. Ashante Reese is an academic rockstar and a really good human (I don't know her directly but have mutual friends).

I am so stoked for the book club AND for the choice of bookstore! BFB in DC is a gem! I have to limit my visits or I would spend all my “fun” money there.
