Are you participating in Read Black Lit Bingo? What books are you reading for Black History Month?Let me know in the comments!
Ooh, I love this! I’m so bad at remembering to do challenges like this but I’m going to eagerly follow along with what other folks are reading. Also, this is a great reminder that I have been meaning to read A Wish after Midnight for approx a million years, and this would be a great month to get on it!
Same goes for me! I’ve had “Midnight” on my shelves for years so now I’m happy to read it now.
