    This is perfectly timed, thank you! I’m in a book group that plans six months of reading at a time (so we can clear long hold lists, mostly), and this Saturday we’ll be planning for the rest of the year.

    I definitely think we’ll be pitching a lot of titles focused on all the politics and police and Black Lives Matter issues we’re living through. I’m hoping for books that entertain and engage and give us something to discuss – a couple of those titles look great.

      Oh good! I hope your book club picks one of these books. Let me know!

      That’s a good idea to plan ahead. That was one issue I had with my book club when I was doing it, long wait lists for books and I didn’t want to buy them. I wanted to use the library. So it made it harder.

    Thank you for compiling such a comprehensive list to share with those of us that are just at a loss for what we can do. I appreciated your previous post and share your anger, but it is helpful to see many suggestions for things to do, things to read to educate ourselves as much as possible and where to reach out with financial help if that is a possibility during this crippling economic time. I cannot wait until November to vote for a change in leadership. It will not fix racism overnight, but at least it will provide an opportunity for change instead of the 3-ring circus that we have going on in D.C. right now. Hope you and your family stay safe!

      I feel at a loss, too. I donate money. My little town had a march and demonstration that I caught the tail end of (but I didn’t know about it, it wasn’t on social media otherwise I would have joined). It’s hard feeling helpless. So I do what I can do learn and read up on stuff I don’t know about. I listen to a LOT of podcasts!
