So as someone who loves filming discussion videos and watching them I love this series from y’all and the parts where y’all mention social commentary are really interesting to me it makes me want to read it and I’m always up for a book that can make me cry because that’s always a great book to me 👍🏻👍🏻

Gosh I love y'alls voice…

Did y’all just say language… of the cows?😂😂😂

This book sounds incredible, I just added it to my tbr on y'all's recommendation. It looks like it came out recently so hopefully it'll still be easily available at bookstores 🤞. I'm going to keep an eye out for it.

I read this book twice in January cause it was so good and I agree its already a modern classic in my mind

Please do more reading vlogs! <3 Also, I'm going to request this book for my book club to read.

I loved Goliath❤️ and really enjoyed seeing your insight on the book.
Also, I just found the War Girls duology on Libby and really want to pick it up now.

I am a Boomer from the Bronx & can 100% attest to the "tour" buses coming through our neighborhoods. I also remember the Catholic school I attended loading us on a bus and taking us to see what "nicer" (White) neighborhoods look like, but never letting us get off of the bus in those neighborhoods with no explanation as to why.

The only full cast audiobook I’ve listened to was His Dark Materials, which was distracting. With this book I was having trouble following what was going on with the house demolition tech at the beginning, so maybe the book would work better for me visually.

Y’all didn’t care for Cinderella Isn’t Dead (which I haven’t read), but maybe you’d like the author’s This Poison Heart for Black Girl Magic? Plant magic, Greek mythology, Black witchiness.

3 minutes in and I’m already sold. Another book I’ve picked up and put down at the bookstore countless times- time to pick it up and bring it home I think!
Side note; “The language of the cows” took me out 😂😂

Edit: made it to the end and I’m really looking forward to picking it up. Thanks for this video, love y’all! 💛💛

I am also looking for fiction recommendations surrounding this topic! Definitely adding this to my TBR.

My first reading experience with environmental justice was a non-fiction book: A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind. So for readers who are new to the realities of this topic, I would maybe start here in the nonfiction sphere.

Wow, didn't know y'all were from my hood! 🤩

Goliath is an amazing book. It is a very important, well written, and has stunning world building. I'm not always the most eloquent reader and hence did not finish it before the library claimed it. I was at 50%. I hope to be able to finish it this year. I think the audio book may be what I need in order to push through this. I loved Riot Baby but I also read that one on audio. I honestly was also wondering if the characters would ever meet. Ew, I'd never heard of a poverty tour, that's disgusting. I really need to get the audio for this book, to read along with the text, and finish it. I've never read a full-cast audio. I've read books with dual narrators and I've loved that. Yep. I think this is going on my July TBR to get finished. I also love how you review singular books, it's the deep dive into the topics I feel a lot of reviewers don't do.
