For this one I've chosen Fools Crow . It had been on my wish list for a while and I finally got it last year so it's been on my TBR since then.

finished A Girl Called Echo

Going to read The Color Purple by Alice Walker and it's on KU as well!

Queen of Exiles

Going to read Queen of exile for this prompt, super excited to have some Haitian representation in a book.... Update finish the book.I don't usually like historical fiction, but this blue, my expectation. As a Haitian, I knew of my history, but it being written so eloquently even in a fictional lens was beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. Vanessa Reily clearly did her research and it shows. This book has to be in everyone's TBR.

I read My Name is Ona Judge by Suzette D Harrison! Highly recommend.

I read What the River Knows by Isabel Iabnez (YA historical fiction set in Egypt)
