LAST WEEK'S TMT
★★★★
ADULT FICTION
STANDALONE
CONTEMPORARY
TRINADAD/BLACK CULTURE
Published February - Netgalley
I really struggled with what to rate this book because I think the author is not Black. She lived in Trinadad, but did she live in a Black community like the one portrayed? The story was good, but I have to think about how authentic the portrayal is if she didn't experience it herself. The ending was also very confusing.
★★★★★
YOUNG ADULT
STANDALONE
HISTORICAL FICTION - 1970s
BLACK CULTURE
I loved and adored BROWN GIRL DREAMING, and this book was more of the same stellar storytelling!
★★★
(2.5)
YOUNG ADULT?
BINTI TRILOGY BOOK ONE
SCIENCE FICTION
POC AUTHOR/OWN VOICES
This book has wonderful concepts, but the story telling is seriously lacking. The sequel is much better, but I hear the final book is more disappointing than the first.
★★★

i am watching, Karen, one of my favorite booktubers from RUNWRIGHT READS, read Maya Angelou's I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS on her YouTube channel. I have been meaning to read this book FOR-EV-ER and this will be an extra special way to experience it. You can access the playlist: HERE.

My current ARC. The dog in the book is a large Golden Retriever, the dog on the cover is not! Ha ha. This counts towards Barb's February THEY CALL IT PUPPY LOVE READING CHALLENGE on BOOKER T'S FARM.
