Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; A Book I'm Nervous To Read


It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post courtesy of Long and Short Reviews and today's topic is a book I'm nervous to read and why.

For me, it's Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, easily. Why? It's honestly a bit scary getting into his head and his thought process, and reading his opinions on various topics. It's one of those cases of I want to find out what the hell he was thinking, but on the other hand, nope, I don't want to find out. I suspect I'm not the only one who's a bit reluctant to say it the least, on the thought of reading that book, as he was after all an arsehole to put it mildly.

    I have never read that book and don’t think I never will for the same reason you shared. Great pick.

    Yeah, that'd be a weird read.

    Think I used to own it. Never read it. Totally understand your feelings on this book.

    I had it like Cheryl. Don't even know where it is. Read part of it and put it down. Too much. I was fascinated by all of the Joseph McCarthy books about that time, but this one was just...scary.

Announcing the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/m...
