I have a friend who is an amazing reader and has been telling me for years to read the Women of Brewster Place. So, a few weeks ago after a gorgeous and yummy dinner party she handed me this. I feel awful I’ve never read this but now I’m running out to buy everything Naylor has written. What is a black classic you’ve never read? #onceyougoblackout #diversespines #readsoullit #blackhistorymonth #glorianaylor #thewomenofbrewsterplace
usually, when people in a story are deeply flawed, I’m so mad at them, I write them off and just enjoy the story. But this novel had me feeling so much for everyone, not judging but really trying to understand what they were going through and how they hurt. Even Micah...even Micah lol now I want to watch the show and am really curious how they extended it for 3 seasons.... #onceyougoblackout #diversespines
What a week!!! But I’ve been reading (I’ve been reading) and this Ms. Bev novel is hitting the spot ❤️ I just realized I’m reading Queen Sugar and Second Time Sweeter - just in time for the other sugar laden time of year. #onceyougoblackout #romancereads #diversespines #readsoullit #thirdshelfread
New purchase - I lent someone my BlueBird, BlueBird before reading it myself, so I’m buying this for my next Kindle read. This will my first time reading Attica Locke - anything I should know before diving in? I’m counting this as a winter read - thrillers/mysteries are either for deep winter or a beach read for me. #onceyougoblackout #readsoullit #diversespines #mystery #aaauthor #blackusamericanauthor #riotgrams #winterreads #rewritebookstachallenge #readwoc2019 #atticalocke #blackwaterrising
It’s February! As a kid in a predominantly black elementary and JHS - black history month was my favorite time of the school year - it was exactly the same as the rest of the year but we put on black history plays, recitals and read-a-louds as well. School assemblies were a million times more interesting and singing the black national anthem was even more special. I was super lucky in live in Brooklyn neighborhoods with lots of black people who had lived there for a long time and had an established community and had a continuous teaching and demonstrations of black history and life. Not everyone has that - so it’s important to learn about Black history as American history all year round (also indigenous people but that’s another story). It’s also important to continually teach and demonstrate that blackness is a spectrum and multifaceted identity and queerness, trans, non-binary, disabled and nuerodiverse are part and parcel of it. Anyway....this is part of my black authored books and my TBR for February. Show me your TBR and tell me your favorite memories of Black History month if you have any! #readsoullit #shelfie #onceyougoblackout #diversespines #rewritebookstachallenge #riotgrams
