Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves by Glory EdimMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't think we can fully quantify what it means to see ourselves in the characters of the books we read. Those characters and those books often become the foundations of who we become. Jo March, Annie Shirley, and Laura Ingalls Wilder profoundly shaped the course of my life. Well-Read Black Girl is a collection of Black women sharing the Black characters and authors who impacted their reading and their lives. I always enjoy books about books and now my to-be-read list is even longer.
Powerful and important collection. Happy reading--
