As we begin Black History Month, it's a good idea to actually read up on some of that history. Read books by black authors. Engage with black content creators. Shop black-owned businesses.
I teach novels by black authors, like Nella Larsen, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, etc.

I ended up doing quite well for myself as far as reading goes in January. StoryGraph had a challenge to read everyday which I (barely) managed to do.
I’m trying to expand what I’m reading this year, so we might see more non-fiction pop up as the months go on.

There is power in imposing an ending, even an arbitrary one. Things don't properly "end" in real life, they just flow into the next thing, but we are storytelling animals. We need things to end so we can begin something new.

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!
I surpassed my reading goal this year! It was a lot to do in between work, my PhD, and the state of the world as a whole, but I’m glad I took the time to try out new and exciting books and authors!
Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year!

I Was a Teenage Slasher, 50%: I truly wish I'd discovered Stephen Graham Jones sooner. His writing is a hoot! This book is another fantastic tale, rooted in the slasher genre, but so creative and thoughtful. And fun, in a dark, slasher sort of way. #horror #StephenGrahamJones

Going into November with some solid hopes that I can get through a THR successfully lol. I have a long list of things I own but haven’t read, and I’m trying to work my way through the month without buying (too many) new books.
