I saw this at my local Books-A-Million (I like my indie better, but I needed a quick fix man!) and thought “oh, I didn‘t know this was out yet...yay!” Then I looked it up on GoodReads and noticed it‘s NOT supposed to be out yet! I‘ve had this on my “to buy” list from the time I first saw the cover and heard the description and I‘m SO SQUEE to get it a few days early. 😄💃🏻❤️ #todaslasvoces #weneeddiversebooks

monalyisha “Muppet arms” is my go-to bachelorette party move when I‘m all danced out & can no longer move my legs. 😂 6y

☝🏼My 2018 goals are to win back the House of Delegates for Democrats in WV and to continue reading diversely. (#weneeddiversebooks #todaslasvoces)
✌🏼 My New Year‘s tradition is reading the tagged book.
🤟🏼 Mount TBR that focuses on books I own physically/on my Kindle.
🖖🏼 (it almost worked, lol!) I may do one if it grabs my attention, but I need to read some that I received this year!
🖐🏼 A blanket & my kitten, #Moonshine.

erinreads I have The Happiness Project but have never read it. Sounds like a good way to kick off a new year, though, so maybe it‘s time to give it a go! 6y
JaclynW Reading diverse books is a great idea! I'm trying to do more of this too. What ones are on your list? Do you have favorites from this year? 6y
ChasingOm @erinreads It just resonates with me! I love it. @JaclynW My faves from this year have been “The Hate You Give,” “Bluebird, Bluebird,” “A Dream Between Two Rivers,” and 6y

ChasingOm @JaclynW If you want to read more diversely, you should sign up for my friend‘s newsletter at www.duendedistrict.com - she owns a bookstore that‘s dedicated to Latinx and other diverse authors. 😄 6y
JaclynW @ChasingOm I'm reading The Hate U Give now!! I just bought Refugee a few months ago. And Bluebird, Bluebird is on my list. I haven't heard of the 4th book you mentioned, I will look into it. Thanks! It sounds like I'm on the right track! 😊 6y
JaclynW @ChasingOm Awesome! I will definitely check out your friends newsletter. Thanks!! 6y

I have #bookhaul photos for y‘all, but I‘m starting the morning off with some hot coffee, gingerbread biscuits, and Adam Silvera‘s “They Both Die at the End.” I had a bad reading slump in Nov. and I think this will help me get out of it! 🤟🏼📖☕️
(Picked this up at Duende District. ✌🏼 #todaslasvoces)

coffeenebula Just getting past a slump myself - it wasn‘t until I joined this community that I realized I‘m not alone and slumps are a thing! 😊 6y

While I wait for 5 pm to open my #theretellingbookswap package, I'm reading this lovely middle grade novel in verse for #Bookstagram's #DiverseBooksClub. The book is about a family's flight from Vietnam during the War and this passage made me pause.

KVanRead Love this one a lot ❤️ Her imagery is so powerful. 6y

My #BookHaul from #DuendeDistrict arrived yesterday, putting it squarely into the realm of probabilities for today. 😄 #TodasLasVoces

Y'all, this book...
I started following a #Bookstagram account named DiverseBooksClub last week. They are "a group of readers dedicated to diverse literature of all kinds." They've started a book club, of which this is one of the Oct reads. I got sucked in immediately and listened to the whole thing yesterday!
It packs a punch, even as a "middle grade reader" (ages 8-12) and is so, so relevant to read right now.

I just ordered "Bluebird, Bluebird" and "A Dream Between Two Rivers" from Duende District -- they now offer a way to buy online! (They're restocking after their most recent pop-up, so if the online store is down, keep checking back.) If you missed my first #DuendeDistrict post, it's a shop my friend started that's for #TodasLasVoces because #WeNeedDiverseBooks. ??????????

Y'ALL.
My friend opened a bookstore "by and for people of color, where everyone is welcome" called Duende District. She doesn't have a brick and mortar store yet, but currently has a pop up at a coffee shop in Takoma Park, Washington, DC. I'm so proud of her and was super excited to support her vision (and get a caffeine fix!) this morning.
