First page, and I‘ve already snorted out loud. I love Nic Stone, and she‘s the perfect choice to bring Shuri to life on the page. #shuri #blackpanther #marvel #nicstone #blackgirlmagic #geniusgirls #girlswhosteam #princess #badass #shatteringglassceilingsnotglassslippers #wakandaforever #ybambe
Dear Martin and its follow-up Dear Justyce: These are both amazing, eye-opening, and heartbreaking. Both depict the social injustices that people of color (in particular, males) are faced with every.single.day. No matter what. I finished these and immediately shared with my cousin. #socialjustice #socialinjustice #nicstone #yareads #blacklivesmatter #checkyourprivilege
Between “Concrete Rose” and “Dear Justyce,” I‘ve been in my feelings all day. Both of these books are just...they‘re so important. Nic Stone has done it again. 😭 #dearjustyce #nicstone #dearmartin
pickI'm speechless. I can't say enough about how important this book is, or how much the world could benefit from more like it. Full disclosure: I'm crying. I just...we have so, so far to go until we reach a place that Dr. King would be proud of. And it's up to ALL of us, regardless of race or socioeconomic status; we need to remember what it means to be good to, respect, and love each other. #dearmartin #nicstone
This is an incredibly written exploration of the state of the world - especially this country - right now, and so timely that, while it's enjoyable and Justyce is a wonderful protagonist, is also really upsetting because of the truths it's not afraid to speak. Not only is it shaping up to be a brilliant debut for Stone, but also the kind of book I think everyone needs to read. #dearmartin #nicstone
I can't take any more "A Tale of Two Cities" tonight. This one finally came in for me, and looks like it'll be a swift read. #dearmartin #nicstone
My next book to read until Tuesday when I pick up Final Girls by Riley Sager. #dearmartin #nicstone
pickI received an arc via Netgalley. Ownvoices for PoC rep.
What a book. So important for the BLM movement. It deals with gun violence, police brutality and social injustice. This book should be an obligatory read for everybody.
