In the wake of US election results, in the midst of other local activism planning, I‘m finding some small comfort in looking through my shelves to find books which will inspire me to keep going, keep fighting. These are books I‘m going to move up my TBR for the near future. I‘m sure I‘ll add to the stack as I look through my library more. Are there any books y‘all are thinking about these days?

Honorable mention goes to Air Force One for the unforgettable line: Get off my plane!

On Juneteenth | Annette Gordon-Reed

Libro.fm offered this audiobook for free on June 19th and I scooped it up and gave it a listen. It's a relatively short book, around 3 hours, but goes into the history of Juneteenth as well as the continued effects of slavery in our country afterwards and the author's personal experience as a Black woman growing up in Texas. Very informative and important, showing the integral role of African Americans in Texas history

On Juneteenth | Annette Gordon-Reed

Thank you to Libro.fm for making this audiobook free for Juneteenth! In this brief but sprawling and powerful exploration of Juneteenth, native Texan and Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard historian Annette Gordon-Reed weaves together history with her own experience growing up in Texas, uplifting the impact Black people have had on Texas history and providing a larger, more complex, and utterly alive historical and cultural context for the holiday.

I opened the door to find some unexpected book mail! I often enter the book drawings on Goodreads and Storygraph for authors I follow, but I thought I‘d be notified if I won one. I guess not 😆 Very excited to read this dense graphic novel and to have it in my collection.
