Hey Kool Nerds!
What's some of your favorite Diverse Reads?

This was such a great mix of first love and suspense. Having Carly, an American-Mexican lead character was so great, and I feel that Hispanics who read the book will really understand the degree of importance that she placed on family.

Every challenge I've faced, it's been What would Martin do? and I could never come up with a real answer. But If I go with Doc's thinking — Who would Martin BE? — well, that's easy: you'd be yourself. THE eminent MLK: nonviolent, not easily discouraged, and firm in your beliefs.

Happy 20th Anniversary to Harry Potter! How crazy is it that the first Harry Potter was published 20 years ago?? Where has the time gone? And yet 20 years later it's still with us like when we first picked it up! That's how we know it will one day be a classic! ?

Hey Kool Nerds!
I cannot talk enough about how good this book was. I had so many theories, and while some panned out, some where just so wrong that I never saw the truths coming. I love when a book is able to surprise me like that. I feel like it happens so rarely that when it does That book automatically gets 5 ⭐️ from me!
