I'm afraid the link doesn't work.
Not a big problem if the list is the same as the group shelf.

I'd like to nominate The Skin Between Us: a Memoir of Race, Beauty, and Belonging by Kym Ragusa.

Yikes! I hate when that happens. I just replaced it with a good one. Thanks!

Also, only fiction titles are accepted for the poll. But thanks for the book rec. I hadn’t heard of that one. 👍🏾

I received the Italian edition as a present (La pelle che ci separa) and I've wanted to read it forever.

So many great options have already been read by the group. I'll try with Rivers Solomon: my preference would be for The Deep for the Drexciya connection, but otherwise any other of his novels.

Nice! Trying to decide if I prefer the Italian cover to the American one. Hmm. I typically prefer the UK covers to the American cover about 90% of the time. I’m kinda torn with this one. Your preference?

Oh, and I second the nomination for The Deep. I’ve never read anything by Rivers Solomon before.

I'd like to nominate Clouds above the hill by Ryotaro Shiba.
