pickInteresting book, from a Web community and podcast of Black women sharing how books impacted their childhood and youth identities and what it means to be a Black woman reader and writer today. A wide range of perspectives and genres and new writers for me. Having the same audiobook reader for multiple voices didn‘t work well. Like all anthologies, mixed feelings about different articles.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa We read this one with #SheSaid and it worked well with our group. I‘m glad you liked it too. 3y
Cinfhen Thoughtful review!! I haven‘t read this but I did see similar reviews. It‘s true with all collections, some pieces work better or resonate more than others 3y
Singout @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes, forgot to say in my review that #SheSaid put me on to it! I‘ve been having bad luck getting those books at the right time, but several of them are on my to-read list. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout Well I‘m glad you got to it eventually. It was an interesting read because so many of the contributors were authors themselves, so reading about their experiences (especially with representation) was I thought more forceful as it came up in so many independent essays. 3y
Singout Yes, absolutely. I also appreciated how different genres of literature were discussed. 3y
