Cute interruption and live in a society that rather illusion and delusion over reality.
Indeed. On social media we have the ability to EFIT our reality, and somehow people prefer that. Thank you for commenting.🙏
Yay!
Aaaaawesome!!!! Greetings from Ghana!
Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you 🙏
This video is so wholesome , thank you !
I appreciate you. 🙏
What an AWESOME concept; cool music in the background as you read and sip...thank you Black Lit Geek! I identify!!!
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment your picking up on the concept. 🙏
first
Thank you🙏
Your book commentary is my favorite book thing ever.
Thank you very much. 🙏
♥"delightfully Intrigued!"
❤❤❤
Love your content style! Really engaging review, motivated to try this book
Thank you. I appreciate it 🙏
They way he was treated by Tony Dokoupil in his CBS interview was extremely short sided and unfair if you're at all familiar with his work. It was truly disappointing 😕
It absolutely was! Tony plucked out and paralleled the entire portion of the book to that of an extremist. Everytime Ta-Nehisi restated that he is against any country that discriminates solely on the basis of ethnicity, Tony frowned and shifted in his seat as if to say, "well what about us...". I've read that he has been reprimanded for that interview. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
A vibe!!!! love this space, thank you <3
@@Soulgazer999 I appreciate you 🙏❤️
Can’t wait to check it out
@@DVA579 video posted. I appreciate you 🙏
I just bought this book, he is an amazing author. I saw his interview with Trevor Noah where he discussed this book. Thank you for your review.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you 🙏
I was so excited to open youtube and see you posted another reading session!
Thank you very much Wendi. Glad you are enjoying them. I try to read two books a week. I appreciate you🙏
Reading in peace 📚🙏🌱
What is it even about…
His book is a collection of essays reflecting on writing and his childhood, but MOST of his context was recalling what he witnessed during trips to Africa, South Carolina and Palestine. The racism, colonialism and his views of Palestine.
I needed this tonight. Thank you.
I appreciate it 🙏
@@wendi4327 I was just thinking, sometimes it takes just ONE sincere person to be positively effected by my videos to make them worthwhile. ❤️🙏
I wish I could get paid to read!!! #lifegoals
Don't we all my dear! 😄
❤nice
Dope!
🙏
❤this!!!!
🙏
great video really useful! very cool room!
Thank you. I appreciate it. Now if I can manage to keeps the plants alive through the winter, I'll be a happy man. Thank you. 🙏
You definitely have a wide variety i that book haul. Should mske for an interesting read except for the Gandhi book, if im not mistaken glosses over the racism and fetish for the underage
Indeed. I was quite surprised to see the Gandhi bio on the early years. That will be a good read at some point. Thank you for commenting.
Owwwww ❤
+1 like from me , i apprecciate the effort
I appreciate the kind words. 🙏
@@BlackLitGeek no problem, I love to read and I appreciate every person who promote the books( sorry for my English)
Your home is so nice 🤍 and the video is very helpful, thanks
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. 🙏❤️
Well done! Nice choice of music, perfect video quality and with you as a person makes this whole thing really organic. Keep going with whatever makes you happy and always stay positive
Thank you very much for the kind words. I appreciate you! 🙏♥
Very soothing ❤
Wow, to be honest it's relaxing and I don't feel lonely😊💕
Thank you for that! I appreciate you. We ALL need closeness in some form or another. Peace.
@@BlackLitGeek Awwww, thanks too, I agree with you, you think very wisely
I'm so glad the algorithm recommended something good for once. I'm currently reading The Night Circus and I'm just struggling through the last 90 pages (due to my inability to focus, not because there's anything wrong with the book it's actually amazing). THank you for this beautiful video
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate it. Love to hear what you thought of the book.
If I could like this video twice, I would. So glad I found your channel!
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate it.
full price??? OH NO!!!!!!
I'm afraid so!
Love the ambience - music, lights, vibe, the book recommendation and comment recommendations 👌🏾❤️
Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words. 🙏❤️
Check out The Institution by Steven King it's a messed up book but it's good!
Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll add it to my ever growing list.
Nice to know that men read books as well… SUZE ORMAN (THE MONEY BOOK.. For the Young , Fabulous & Broke )
We do indeed! lol I’ve heard of her, the personal finance lady. Never read her though. Good advice?
Ahhh so Black men DO read! 😂😂. Love to see it!
Despite popular opinion, we do pick up books. Lol

I really like the idea of reviewing books from the Goodwill.
It’s nice to see a brotha who reads! Hopefully you can bring some more along for the ride. Have you ever thought of hosting a book club?
I love that you reclaim books! The thrift stores are wonderful resources! It’s ALWAYS good to see brothas reading too! I see you!
Good thing you like books...I dont really buy books now ..i just google most of the time :)
I have to say, books definitely have their pros and cons. The biggest con is that they take up tons of space. I do have an audible subscription so that I can listen to books on the go, but when I'm home, in my reading space, I prefer a tangible book. Somehow I can just connect better. Thank you for commenting.
Sounds like you got a lot of cool books. I never thought about going to Goodwill or thrift stores to try to pick up books.
You should definitely pop into one the next time you're out and about. The books are generally unorganized, only separated by hard cover and paperback in most cases, but there are definitely gems to be found. Tell you another little secret spot. You can shop for vintage books and book collections (comic, encyclopedia, etc) on the goodwill auction site. Check it out. Thanks for commenting. B.T.
I never thought about checking Goodwill for books! I always think of clothes when going there. You picked up quite a few reads. I would love to hear reviews after completion of them!
Kita, my local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores have soooo many books! Everything from obsolete Encyclopedia sets, tons of children's books and surprisingly a bunch of old romance novels. You will be pleasantly surprised. Word of caution, the books are usually separated by hardcover and paperback, so there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to finding a specific genre. YOUVE GOT TO DIGGG!!! I will be reviewing Ta'Nehisi Coates, Water Dancer this week. But two of those books are in my TBR (To be Read) pile. Thank you for commenting. B.T.
Your music is very distracting. I was looking for a more thorough review of the book, you didn't tell us anything, why is that?
Good Morning Lisa. Thanks for commenting. I'm still trying to find my lane as far as reviewing books without spoiling them for readers. My thought is simply to give the video enough substance to spark interest, but not give you the entire plot, twists or details that make the book worth buying. I watched a review last week and it truly spoiled the book for me. I'm still learning about volume levels. It is really tricky using premiere pro cc to edit. Thank you for watching the video and commenting. It's quite difficult to get better at creating videos without constructive input.
Thank you for responding, I appreciate it. I must admit this book was kind of slow and 2 dimensional and man, Jojo was getting on my nerves with her whinny self absorbed attitude. I expected a little more from a teen in this day and age. In retrospect why would I? I wanted to know what in the world was going on and weed through the teenage angst portion of the book and get to some of the facts, which is what lead me to your site. Spoilers do not matter too me, I will still watch the movie/TV show, or read/listen the book. This is why we come to these sites ...for prospective, talk about what was read....chew the fat so to speak. Those that view these types of videos listen for the words "spoiler alert" and people have the choice to continue. Thank you again for responding.
@@lisabinder7189 Indeed she was. I believe Rachel (RH) dropped the ball in that she took the reader through this ENTIRE story feeling soooooo sorry for Jojo only to let you off the hook in the end and restore her virtue in every sense. At the same time, the young man who actually died violently didn't get more than a couple of reference sentences and fleeting thoughts except from Kevin, the heart-broken lover.
