Black History Month Reading Journal Spreads + Recommendations! 📚

i loved the first book in the series i loved the conductors i thought it was so good i loved the characters i loved the diversity of the characters

i have 15 dogs by andre alexis which i'm about halfway through and so far i'm kind of on the fence about it i like parts of it there are parts of it that i'm not sure that i'm a fan of and it's pretty violent

this is a really beautifully written book it is very poetic at times i would say it almost reads like lyrics to a song but it also really is an unflinching look at maya angelou's childhood and some of the abuse that she suffered

each one felt very interesting to me i was definitely hooked and intrigued i really enjoyed the writing style and i thought it was a really clever and unique concept but like i said i did find it a little confusing and it definitely hopped around a little quicker than i could sort of get my bearings in any particular vignette

this book explores racism misogyny colonization religion identity motherhood and queerness in such a raw way and i loved vern she is very complex incredibly flawed but i couldn't help but root for her and i really loved following her story

i thought this was amazing i loved it is so unique and strange and yet it just works perfectly which could just be a description of anything i've ever read by n.k jemisin

i give it four stars because i still really enjoyed the process of reading this but i was sad that the mystery wasn't quite as gripping as it was in the first book

so far i'm loving it i love the writing style it's so beautifully written

i loved how that was addressed i loved learning more about nigerian culture for me the sticking point was the romance i honestly would have loved if this book just didn't have romance at all the romance just fell flat i felt that the characters didn't really have any chemistry
