pickObviously I‘ll read anything by Jason Reynolds. This is an ode to the “King of Letters” Langston Hughes of Harlem Renaissance fame and it happens at the Schomburg Library (qv The Man Who Built a Library by Carole Boston Weatherford). The guests include Angelou, Baldwin, Butler, Brooks, DuBois, Walker, Morrison and the like. Reynolds‘ 1st picture book.

pickThis is my 3rd completed book of the #readathon. I liked it and recommend it. #deweysreadathon @DeweysReadathon
pickI‘ve read and reread slim nonfiction book over the years. Each time I find new things that speak to me. Lindbergh compares different stages in a woman‘s life to various shells she finds on the beach. The shells aren‘t the point; it‘s what they represent that carries the weight of the work. She touches on maintaining your individuality as a woman despite marriage and motherhood, a difficult balance to find.
In March, these were my #bookspin and #doublespin picks. Book 2 was my #bookspin pick and Book 17 was my #doublespin pick. I DNF‘d my #bookspin pick but I didn‘t read my #doublespin pick so I‘ve added it to my list again this month.
pickPublished in 2007 (and bought used for 1p!), these days it has rather a cultural historical vibe. Written/made by multiple contributors, it's an art zine in book form: kind of a grown-up version of the things my sister and I used to make in the school holidays ?. I don't really like that messy, mixed media look, but there are several projects I plan to try (and many another that are more "why on Earth would I want to make that?!"). A curiosity!
pickMotivating book when setting out to uncharted waters
I'm working on “It's OK to rest and pause.“
