Sarah quoted from a book in this podcast that I don’t see listed. She quoted that if you are a lover of great books, don’t read them every day, or something to that effect. I think the title had something to do with reading in a fast paced world. Any ideas what that book was? Thanks!
Great episode, as usual!! Does Mr. Daniels have a blog or write for Circe?
I think he writes for CiRCE but only very occasionally- he doesn’t have a blog or website. If you want to hear more from him, he was recently featured on the CiRCE podcast: https://www.circeinstitute.org/podcast/quiddity-66-james-daniels-cultivating-human-ness-our-students
Thanks!
hahahaha, My favorite book is Atinuke, the kids featured are so funny. It made my day. I am super pleased to hear Atinuke will be on the show. Wish it was a call in show. I love her and I cannot stop talking about her books.
I’ve got loads of love for you Sarah and your team. I am your Nigerian ambassador. God bless you guys
