The Hate U Give | Angela Thomas

This was excellent--I'm glad #Booked2020 pushed me to seek it out. The narrator passionately and poignantly tells the story of the impact of racism, poverty, and police violence on her life as a Black teen who lives in a strong working-class Black community but goes to a mostly-White middle-class school. Great job of unpacking White racism. While it does a bit of telling where I would prefer showing, I credit that to it being a YA novel.

Cute and charming, which was perfect for my current reading mood. Not really my cup of tea, but it got me out of my reading funk 🙌🏻 I actually think Hollywood did it better though!

The story took a little bit too long to set up, but once it got going-it is everything I‘ve come to love about Menon‘s YA romances (including how over the top everything is). Also, I‘m a fool for Beauty and the Beast retellings. #booked2020 #yabypoc

#HelloKitty loves puzzles, especially when the 🧩 features a 🐈!

Loved, loved, loved this #audiobook told in verse. Like Xiomara, my teen years were also heavily religious and because of that I clashed with my mother. A lot. It‘s now just a taboo topic whenever we talk to my family.

I really hope Acevedo continues to write fiction in verse, because this was captivating and powerful from start to finish!

Another combined post, but I just had to finish the Jemisin 😅

#BookReport:
📖 The Fifth Season - N. K. Jemisin
🎧 Color Me In - Natasha Diaz (which I just realized works for #YAbyPOC for #Booked2020)

#WeeklyForecast:
📖 These two has been calling to me from my shelf, so I‘m hoping to read the tagged and begin Kingdom of Copper.
🎧 Good Habits, Bad Habits - Wendy Wood for my drive to work.

ephemeralwaltz Woohoo! 5y
