This year I am doing all published in 2024 for my #20booksbyBlackWomen it is quite the challenge and my library is zero help!! OY. So far all of these are just EXCELLENT. So IF you know of one coming out or that has come out let me know!
1. My Grandma
2. Sophie Scholl. Sophie has nearly 200 schools named after her in Germany. After the failed July 20, 1944, attempt on Hitler‘s life, the White Rose students are the best-known example of Germans who sought to resist the Nazis. That there were so few similar deeds shows just how difficult and dangerous resistance was and how successful Nazi tactics had been in desensitising consciences and eliminating whatever stood in their way.
I finished this today -it was very hard for me personally to read. I generally do not read fictional Holocaust stories because there are so many nonfiction deserving of my witness. The enduring impact of trauma is hard to describe. This comes close. Much more to say but … I‘m tired of trying to explain why this matters. In other weird news this was on the shelf in our public library. No holds, no one taking it out. Librarian didn‘t recognise it ..

#FOODANDLIT VENEZUELA 🇻🇪
My library had TWO books. Tagged book is mine from my TBR
The U.S. Department of State strongly recommends U.S. citizens do not travel to Venezuela. If you must travel to Venezuela, we recommend you avoid all land border crossings into Venezuela on the Colombian border. Detentions of U.S. citizens at formal or informal border crossings into Venezuela are common. 😵💫😅
The book Palm Royale on Apple TV is based on
Both FUN 🙂🙃🙂
