It is taking me forever to read it but I am going through The Color Purple Collection
If I finish that up I've got one of Michelle Obama's books as a backup option. If anyone has recommendations for other books I will happily take them.

I'm actually going back into the far distant history and reading Frederick Douglass' autobiography. :)

I got a few I want to get to but got a busy week ahead so hopefuls sounds like a good thing to call them
This Way Out by Tufayel Ahmed
The Office of Historical Corrections: A Novella and Stories by Danielle Evans
Being Ace: An Anthology of Queer, Trans, Femme, and Disabled Stories of Asexual Love and Connection edited by Madeline Dyer
Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed by Dashka Slater

I finally decided to read

and if I finish that since my reading has been meh then Ill get to the sequel and then the other possibilities on my list are & .

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!!!

I'm going to read Shadowhouse Fall, and maybe Okoye to the People

Currently reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot... Already a little over 100 pages in, but I had to put it down multiple times due to anger and heartache for her and her family 😔💔

I read “Honor” by Thrity Umrigar. A Diverse read. All the blank history books I wanted to read were unavailable.
Sad and amazing story about women in rural India and honor killings by family members. Truly a love story too.

Seeing this quite late

Books started
Island Queen x
The World We Make x N.K Jemisin

Started this week
A Long Way Gone x Ishmael Beah

Feel like I’m unintentionally reading from all over the African diaspora. And all were quite sad tales. Need to work on reading more joyous stories.
