All right. I’ve learned from my mistakes and have halved my tbr for this month compared with last month’s tbr. I’m also bringing back two of last month’s books because I reallyreallyreally want to read them.
I’m taking part in my first ever readathon and it’s hosted by @bookinitwithahtiya on Instagram and it’s called YONCÉ-a-thon. It is inspired by Beyoncé’s latest visual album film, Black is king. There are five challenges that I have to complete and as an extra challenge there’s also a 3x3 bingo board where I can try to go for Bingo. However, I think I’ll stick to just the main challenges. I’ll re-evaluate the situation at some point and see how hopeless my situation is.
Another first for me is that I’m also taking part in a buddy read where we read Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski. It’s hosted by @crofteereader and @thereadingchemist on Instagram and the group discussion is on the 13th.
Anyways, here are the challenges with the books I’ve chosen.
1. SPIRIT: A book by a Black author
A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown
2. OTHERSIDE: A Black non-fiction book
Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi
3. BLACK PARADE: A book with intersectional Black identity
Finding Joy by Adriana Herrera
4. MOOD 4 EVA: A book featuring a Black protagonist that doesn’t center around trauma
Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
5. JA ARA E: A book centering Black artistry and/or storytelling
Slay by Brittney Morris
