I've been working on a blog post for a few weeks about my racial and social justice reading this year. Litsy has encouraged me to open up my horizons and learn. And I still have a long way to go. But it's been amazing, and I thought you'd all appreciate the list too. Feel free to share.

bookloo I loved this! This is why reading is so important. Thank you, thank you. 😊✊🏽 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @bookloo You're welcome! I couldn't agree more. 7y

EchoLogical What she said! I'm blown away your sincerity and dedication to expand your horizons. I've been trying to do the same, sort of. I've been reading books to help understand the world outside my bubble but I've been seriously slacking. 7y
EchoLogical @BarbaraTheBibliophage Let me know when you're ready for White Trash because I'd love to do a read along. I tried it before but never finished and I think reading it with someone would help me hold myself accountable to actually finish it 😅 and make it a little easier to process by discussing what I read. 7y
Cinfhen I have bookmarked your post! It‘s brilliant 🙌🏻 7y
Cortg How awesome! You have a great list. I would recommend adding All American Boys which was co-written by two authors from different backgrounds. It was our 2016 One Maryland One Book winner! ❤️ 7y
JamieArc @EchoLogical and @BarbaraTheBibliophage I've had White Trash on my list for some time and would love motivation to get to be reading and read it alongside others. 7y
JamieArc Also, great list! Not to make it longer, but The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson keeps coming up as a must-read to deepen understanding (it's kind of massive, so it keeps getting put of for me to read...) 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Aww thanks. 🤗🤗 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @EchoLogical Thanks. I‘m glad you felt the sincerity in my writing. I‘ve been pretty focused on my own bubble until the last 18 mos. I‘m glad I opened up my topics and genres! I‘d love to read White Trash together. #Buddyreads are so much better. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cortg Thanks! I was just reading about one of those authors - Jason Reynolds - the other day. Added to my TBR! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @JamieArc Thanks for the suggestion. That book looks great! Buddy read for White Trash sounds good. I‘ll pull it off the shelf and look at length in more detail soon! 7y
Wbabdullah I‘ve been reading #socialjustice books, too!! 🙌🏽 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Wbabdullah Yay! It seems more important every single day, doesn't it? 7y
ChasingOm I'm in for a White Trash buddy read!! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ChasingOm Okay - now we are four! Guess I'll grab that book sooner! 😜 7y
Wbabdullah @BarbaraTheBibliophage yes, it does! It is highly important now more than ever!! We have to reflect on past and present-day history to even hope for a glimmer of a good future! 7y
