Swapping Phone Screen Time With Reading Books For A Week

[@damicahill]

I love these creative concepts you have. Really keeps the videos interesting but I do also love a casual barns trip❤️

[@Cherribomb113]

I totally agree with you that some books take the black struggle a lil too much sometimes. But I felt in this book it was definitely needed and set a right tone. Maybe that's me because I'm from the south and I know exactly what she was going for. It's not something makes the character not happy to me but that's all just my opinion 😊 I get why some people may not care for it.

[@imani69]

Totally agree! I didnt resonate with the perspective that Black characters should just “be happy.” If i read a book about a white character that was happy all the time I’d think it was poor writing and unrealistic.

[@KyrahStewart]

I mean “be happy” in that I don’t want the black struggle to overtake the entire story. I did end up absolutely loving the book! For white characters in books they aren’t typically being attacked racially so they are happier characters and are able to just exist. I want that for black characters too, but that might just be personal preference.

[@Cherribomb113]

@@KyrahStewart I definitely agree and for most of the books I read I totally agree with you! I definitely dont see the need for it to be in every single book with black characters. Because honestly day to day I'm just out here living life as a black woman lol without any of that so it's easier to relate when the characters are just living. I only read books from black authors this month and there was a overwhelming amount of the black struggle in some of the books so I definitely understand your perspective 😃

[@KyrahStewart]

[@jhanaew75]

I was just looking at my screen time and thought I need to do something else with my time. Love this idea !! And thanks for making me add more books to the cart 😅😅

[@mrzmcclendon1069]

It's the licking of the stanley and laying out on the floor reading for me! Lol! Tracy Deonn has won me over too! I believe that I'll buy her books! I agree with some of the parts that you mentioned about the book!

My husband has the Wool/Silo book series and has been trying to get me to read it for years😅 We really enjoyed the tv series of it so that might be my next book read😊

[@icedcoffeeandbookss]

Loved this video! ❤

[@alicia.g7929]

Sometimes, I have a hard time reading in the beginning, my brain doesn't shut off. 😂

[@Raisin9502]

You excepted my Goodreads friends request today…I was so happy. I read First Lie Wins and now The Frozen River now. Really enjoying it. I’m on my 13th book now. Finished The Teacher by Freida McFadden as well !!

[@icedcoffeeandbookss]

It’s cool how we see different books as trending or not. I mean, I see Wool talked about a lot when watching booktubers that are high fantasy/Sci fi/ Dystopian readers.

[@allisonbenn4565]

I was just going to comment in the discord and ask when are we getting a video 🎉

[@BooksLikeFun]

What mic do you use?

[@KyrahStewart]

Rode!

[@Mimlou]

Girl, Bride was just not hitting for me. I was very underwhelmed by it all. Just me?

[@andreaauzenne2656]

Team legend born an blood marked

[@KyrahStewart]

❤️❤️

[@imani69]

Legendborn as a series is definitely interested in racism and Blackness, I mean it’s set in the southern United States at a predominantly white institution. Most Black people who go away to predominantly white colleges have to contend with what it means to be in that space as a Black person so….it’s def not about a fantasy land where racism doesn’t exist, it’s more of a magical realism series engaging with actual history & cultural issues
