I read WHERE I'M COMING FROM by Barbara Brandon-Croft (Feb 2023), which is a curated collection of one of the few Black women newspaper cartoonists. From 1989 to 2005, the work is timeless because the issues and jokes still resonate. @LibraryReads99 #LibraryReadingWed https://t.co/DaiPuaIfRy

ONE SUMMER IN SAVANNAH by Terah Shelton Harris switched between Jacob and Sara who must grapple with forgiveness. The tension of the book isn't from the crime that links them, but it is as heavy as summer heat. It comes out in July. #LibraryReadingWed @LibraryReads99 https://t.co/tJuXa1weOc

I loved THE TWELVE TRIBES OF HATTIE, so I can't wait to read THE UNSETTLED by Ayana Mathis. It's another multi-generational family novel from Alabama to 1980s Philly. #ewgc https://t.co/c0EE5iWIAq

I'm READING SUNSHINE NAILS by Mai Nguyen (coming in July) from Atria Books. It's a funny family drama about a Vietnamese Canadian family going up against a "Starbucks for nails" and gentrification to save the family nail shop. I love the humor! #LibraryReadingWed @LibraryReads99 https://t.co/NW9NtBSfAx

I'm reading ABOVE GROUND by Clint Smith (March 2023). It's a beautiful poetry collection about politics, family, and fatherhood. It's sweet and haunting. It's a pleasure to read. "By Chance", and "The Gun", and "Punctuation" are standouts! #LibraryReadingWed @LibraryReads99 https://t.co/WCxV6ECakj

I'm reading PORTRAIT OF A THIEF by Grace D. Li. I'm loving the characters and their interaction. The short chapters make it for an engrossing and quick read. Someone else had mentioned this book for #LibraryReadingWed and it was a great rec. @LibraryReads99 https://t.co/rFxLesMjKJ

WILD GIRLS: HOW THE OUTDOORS SHAPED THE WOMEN WHO CHANGED A NATION by Tiya Miles (Sept 2023) is a brief non-fiction exploration of American women like Harriet Tubman, Louisa May Alcott, and more. An absorbing read that opened my perspective! #LibraryReadingWed @LibraryReads99 https://t.co/2K1YOuJhTH

I have started reading the first chapter of The All-American by Joe Milan Jr. It's pretty gritty. I'm interested in how sports and identity will unfold I this novel. #ewgc https://t.co/DwcqWjtGck
