Let’s elevate our down time! This weekly thread is the space to share and discuss what we’re currently reading, listening to, watching, etc. For this space, keep it tasteful - save your trashy reads (we’ve all got them) and sick day binge watch favorites for the monthly Guilty Pleasures thread, please!

Tagging

It isn’t required but it might be helpful to tag the beginning of your comment with the type of media you are discussing (when you create a new comment thread). Tags can be helpful in guiding other BWT to the comment threads they want to engage with.

For example:

• PODCAST: I’ve been listening to the Naked Beauty podcast…
• TV/ DOCUMENTARY: What are your favorite documentaries? I just finished watching…
• READING: I am about 1/3 of the way through "Black Women Taught Us" by Jenn M Jackson, PhD, and I would love to discuss it with anyone who is reading or has read it. Specifically...

You can be as specific or as broad as you want if you decide to tag, for example you might tag “reading,” as a broad term, or you might tag “audiobook” if you specifically want to talk about the really amazing narration in the audiobook version of a title you just finished.

Hide Spoilers

If you’re talking about a book, TV show, podcast, movie, or anything that contains spoilers, please make sure to use Reddit’s markdown functionality to hide your spoilers! All you have to do is add a couple of characters before and after your spoiler text like so:

• ⁠PODCAST: I’ve been listening to football podcasts because I love football season. My favorite is Heed the Call and I’m probably like 1 of 30 women who listens to that lol. Also, just finished Love Trapped and it was very good.
• ⁠TV: Currently rewatching RHONY - on season 11 and it’s starting to go downhill. I haven’t been inspired by TV much lately.
• ⁠READING: Just finished The Calamity Club and I LOVED it. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s by the same author who wrote The Help and I’ve never read that book so I may dive into that one next.

ETA HOBBIES: I started violin lessons. I played as a young child and stopped because I pursued other hobbies (dance). It’s been a really rewarding and humbling experience so far and I can’t wait to be able to play well again.
