It’s finally happening! The longest month ever is coming to an END!!!! Raise your hand if you’re counting the days til Spring Break!
We have had a fantastic month talking about Black History Month and books written by black authors. I think I can safely speak for a few others when I say this was eye-opening in terms of realizing how few books written by black authors that I actually read. A lot of us talked about how we tend to choose books based on synopsis, and we noticed how heavily our choices favor books by white women.
So thanks everyone for some great discussion this month, and for putting some more books on my radar.
