#blackoutTuesday

A Blade So Black | L.L. McKinney
post image

For #blackoutTuesday and #blackpublishingpower I went and splurged on a trilogy. Books 1 and 2 are out now, but I‘ll have to wait til April 2021 for book 3.

Most of the new/newer titles were sold out so I will have to try again for those later.

Plus I supported indies by using Bookshop.org.

bibliobard Thanks for posting this! Just placed an order for two books — one that has been on my TBR for awhile and I finally bought and the other is on backorder due to demand I suppose. 4y
LibrarianRyan @Shakespearience yes the #blackpublishingpower has been working. Hopefully it lasts and we see more representation in what and who we read. 4y
Kar2b I‘m going to start “A Blade So Black” tonight... I‘ve had it on my TBR shelf. 4y

Black Lives Matter | Edwards, Sue Bradford

I've seen in several places that using the blm tag for black out Tuesday posts is screwing up the algorithm and burying valuable info that protesters need. Probably not much of an issue on here. If you are posting via Instagram or Facebook or Twitter please be cognizant of this. #blackouttuesday

I was so looking forward to this book. This cover is amazing and it was due out this month. But because of Covid it got moved to FEB 2021. UGHHHH more wait time.

This is it for me tonight. Be sure to look for more Black Authors and new books I may have missed. Happy Reading

Chrissyreadit Any recommendations for a picture book or story book elementary age for African American Muslim children? I want to get as a gift. Both parents immigrated and both children faced racism and discrimination in a previous school- so would love positive upbeat own voices book to send them. 4y
LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit Wow. Let me look. That one is not going to be easy.

LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit Okay lady, this was hard. Lots of books for girls, but very hard to find Black boy muslim characters. Most are about Ali, or X. But I will tag what I found below.

LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit This is actually an entire series. 4y
Chrissyreadit @LibrarianRyan 🙌🙌🙌 I think these are winners! 4y

I am a little trepidatious that Patterson's name is attached to this, but I am sure Kawme can pull it all together.

A fictionalized biography. hopefully its good.

julesG Pink is a very manly colour. ? I'm going to check whether the first book is available in translation already. My lazy kids don't want to read in English at the moment, but love to talk in "Gernglish" (terrible mix of German and English) all day. 4y
LibrarianRyan @julesG I like pink and think more books with male protagonists should use it. It was just an odd choice after the first one. I know the author tweeted new translations are coming out, I just didn't pay attention to which ones. I believe @Wonderwoman89 has my copy for #LMPBC. I am really glad they didn't change the style. They changed the Style of Sal and Gabi and I don't like it as well. 4y
julesG Thanks. Will check. 4y
