July TBR / Black Lives Matter

As a way to kill two birds with one stone, I wanted to support black authors by reading books written by them all month long and give you some recommendations that you can check out.

All Boys Aren’t Blue is a lgbt+ memoir that reminds me of the book Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah, which was five stars for me.

This is the lastest release by Elizabeth Acevedo and both Poet X and With the Fire on High were five stars for me.

This one is another 2020 release, in all honesty, I picked up because it is lgbt+ but then I found this book on the list for black authors.

What’s wrong with me? I thought that Roxane Gay was white (don’t mean to offend anyone by the comment)

Being Pride is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice, and I’m not a fan of the classic, but I’m still giving a try. Have read this book? What are your thoughts?

I think the best way I can describe this book is a cheesy romance.

It talks about mental health, and I think it is an essential topic for everyone to read about.

If you guys like this post, I will do a part two once I read all seven books.
