The Introvert Readers discussion

Hi! February, as we know is Black History Month. Keeping that in mind, we are conducting a one-week black history month readathon lasting from Feb 21 to Feb 28.
For the readthon, you are supposed to read books that have won the Correta Scott King Award. The award, which is named after Martin Luther King Jr.'s wife, is given to the best portrayal of African American life in children's and teen's literature.

You can sign up here and feel free to ask the mods if you have any queries!

I'll join!!

I'll sign up with Before the Ever After

Great! You don't have to sign up with one book, it's just that whoever reads the maximum pages wins. But the books should all be Correta Scott King Award winners.

Legendborn qualifies correct?

Yes! It has won the award.

Is there a list somewhere were we can see all of the books that qualify?

You can check on the internet. Just google "Correta Scott King Award winners" and you'll find the complete list.
