Hi friends & happy Friday! 🙌🏼 This has been the most wild month on record for me and I'm so excited to just relax, get the house together, and watch the Oscars. I may even watch a movie or two. What are your weekend plans?
🌱
If you're one that loves a weekend in like I do, then 41 Reasons I'm Staying In by @hehyea might be just the book for you! The illustrations are insanely detailed and the reasons made me smile. Thank you for sending!
Finished On the Come Up so quickly that I forgot to take a photo! I loved this book-- Angie Thomas is a master at really capturing the essence of characters and sharing their stories. Bri wants to be a rapper and she's got the talent to do it. She's trying to get out from under the shadow of her deceased father, who was also a talented rapper that got taken away too soon. The story itself was wonderful, but it also presents a nuanced look at poverty, systemic racism, rap culture, drug abuse, and the genuine issues that exist in today's world. Love love love. #tbrread2019
My next Nonfiction read is The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. Thanks to this great #bookstagram community for bringing this book to my attention! It chronicles one of the great untold stories in American history: the migration of Black Americans who fled the the South for northern and western cities in search of better lives. I hear Shonda Rimes is working on an adaptation, so it's a great pick for today's #onceyougoblackout prompt of film/ TV adaptation. Kudos to the hosts for organizing- I've been loving getting all of the recommendations for books written by Black authors!
Finished Long Walk to Freedom over the weekend and 😍 I knew who Nelson Mandela was at a high level but didn't know a ton about how he got to where he was. This is his autobiography based around a manuscript he had written in prison. Really fascinating stuff! #tbrread2019

Have you read many autobiographies? I can't say that I have. Leave your recs below!👇🏻
☕️Coffee anyone!? Help me settle the great debate: hot coffee or iced? I'm an iced all year round kind of girl, despite what this photo suggests ☕️

You probably know that I don’t do a ton of partnerships, but when I do it’s because it’s something that I genuinely use and enjoy. So when Coffee Subscribe reached out to me to see if they could send me coffee for consideration, I was all in. I’ve said it before but I tend to be a year round iced coffee drinker- I love to make it at home and bring a giant tumbler to work with me. I also like things to be automated- I’m all about ordering things online and having it arrive at my door without having to think about it.
.
Coffee Subscribe is a monthly coffee subscription service. The owners, Daniel and Tomas, went to Colombia to meet artisan coffee growers to find the best beans for their product. They’ve got whole bean and ground coffee in medium or dark roast. Their coffee is fair trade (sourced from single farms), gourmet (roasted in small batches), ethical, and 100% Colombian. In essence, it’s convenient and delicious and I’m thrilled to be able to work with them.

They were kind enough to give me a promo code! TINATBR gets you 20% off. If you order and enjoy- let me know! 💜
For real... #readeverywhere 😂
Mid month TBR stack update- I'm doing pretty well! I'm aiming to read nearly all Black authors this month (aside from 2 books in Stephen King's Dark Tower series). So far I'm loving what I've read and feel like I'm getting more out of reading more books with substance. I still love my thrillers, but it's nice to read books that will stick with me.
Up next!! Finally. The #diversespines @spinesvines pick for February! It's definitely outside of my comfort zone in terms of format (it's essay / journal), but the author's point is more than clear. What's your favorite book you read in HS?? (I think mine is Gatsby. @markpatsavas - correct me if I'm wrong 😜)
