When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir | Asha Bandele, Patrisse Khan-Cullors

I recently read both of these amazing books. I'm so sorry that African American writers have to open their veins like this just to convince people there is truly a problem but I'm here for them.

Jess7 The ebook of #SoYouWantToTalkAboutRace is only $2.99 today!!!! 💙💙 6y

SuperPunkNinja @Jess7 Awesome! 6y

WhatDeeReads @Jess7 Good looking out! I think I‘m going to buy it. I‘ll buy the print too, later. 6y

Born a Crime and Other Third World Problems | Trevor Noah

Here are some of my favorite #MustRead recommendations! I tried to pick a few from various genres: #BornACrime #AManCalledOve #ThePassenger #Furies #EleanorOliphant #SoYouWanttoTalkAboutRace | What are your top must reads? #ReadingResolutions

Jess7

Christine11 Great picks ! 😊 6y

SilversReviews Nice collage...I have only read THE PASSENGER. It was good. 6y

cj82487 The Man Called Ove had been on my list for a while but from what I've heard of it I need to emptionally prepare myself to read it. Lol 6y

See All 14 Comments

melbeautyandbooks I saw the news yesterday that Trevor Noah is writing a follow up to Born A Crime. I can‘t wait for it! 6y

Jess7 @SilversReviews that‘s a good psychological thriller but the other ones are really good memoirs or literary fiction that are definitely worth reading. I highly recommend them all 6y

Jess7 Omg definitely read A Man Called Ove and Eleanor Oliphant (similar but a little darker). @cj82487 6y

Jess7 I saw someone post about that on here and now I‘m super excited. I will definitely read it!! @melbeautyandbooks 6y

Jess7 Thanks @Christine1 - have you read them? If not, they‘re all really good in their respective genres! 6y

MartinaLove Eleanor Oliphant Is Completelt Fine is such a good book. I absolutely loved it! It was touching. 6y

MallenNC I've read three of these - Trevor Noah, Eleanor Oliphant, and A Man Called Ove. Great picks! 6y

Becker I found Trevor Noah‘s book to be very entertaining but also informative. I learned so much from it. 6y

Andrew65 Read 2 of these, both due to Litsy - Ove and Eleanor Oliphant, both of which are 5 Star Reads. Hope to get to Heart‘s Invisible Furies next week! Again due to Litsy! #BlameItOnLitsy 6y

Andrew65 @cj82487 It is a wonderful read, but you do fall in love with Ove! 6y

cj82487 @Andrew65 I think my book club has picked it for one of our upcoming months. I just hope it doesn't make me cry like And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer. For a novella, it was such an emotion packed story 6y

The Women in the Castle: A Novel | Jessica Shattuck

Hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing Super Bowl Sunday! Here is what I‘m reading next: #SoYouWantToTalkAboutRace and #TheWomenInTheCastle for #LitsyBuddyRead. The suggested reading this week is Part 1. Has any one started it yet? What do you think so far? I‘m excited to start it today. 📚

#TWITC HistoricalFiction #TBR #LitsyBuddyRead
#SYWTAR #BlackHistoryMonth #Race #MustRead

MinDea, Jess7, LitsyBuddyRead

RebelReader I've started it and it's good, but I wanted to start A Little Life and so it's become my purse book. 🤣 6y

Jess7 I‘ve heard such good things about A Little Life. That‘s on my radar too to read (eventually because it‘s a long book!) @RebelReader (edited) 6y

Jess7 Update: I‘m a couple chapters into this one and I‘m absolutely loving it. This is a MUST READ for anyone and everyone! I predict this is going to be 5 STAR read.
