Past Episodes About The Five Books You Meet Abroad
Meet Kovie, culture & identities writer and Deputy Entertainment Editor at @buzzfeednews. Kovie and I luv author Luvvie Ajayi ( AKA @AwesomelyLuvvie) for being lowkey judgemental (for all the right reasons). On today's epi, we share our fave takeaways from Luvvie’s NYT Bestseller (!!!) “I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual.” Kovie wrote about Queen Sugar. Then, Ava DuVernay wrote a thank you Kovie. She totally buried that lede.

*Sanaa Lathan ‘Brown Sugar’ voice* “So, when did you fall in love with video games?”
In this episode of Bri Books, co-producer Rush Perez and I talk video games, nostalgia, and Blake J. Harris’ 2014 book, “Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, athe the Battle That Defined a Generation.” The book remembers the rise and shifting significance of gaming consoles in the home in the 80s. Since then, the console has moved from a box connected to a TV screen, to the screen connected to our hands.

Past goal-setting episode - “There Are 83 Days Left in 2016”
Happy New Year! I hope you’re coming off of the high of a well-rested holiday. There’s so much energy in the air at the end of the year, and I love to use that time to set goals. I did an episode all about the process back in October 2016, but here’s a more drilled-down version of goal-setting, just in time for the New Year. So, let’s dig into how to get our goal-setting “weight up” in 2017.
Show Notes
Tell me how you set goals--what are your goals for 2017? Do you do vision boards? prayers/ devotionals? What do you do and use to keep yourself accountable? Show me your vision boards, goal lists, and boss moves on Twitter, on Instagram and Facebook as @bribookspod using #BriBooks on Instagram and Twitter! I hope this demystified goal setting for you. Of course, I need to know what you’re reading and looking forward to in 2017!
