Currently reading and unable to put down (or stop crying). It’s deeply painful but feels so incredibly
important. TY @stephaniefoo.bsky.social 🤎

Adding to my 2025 reads book list. Finished Reel by @kennedyryan.bsky.social and loved it, like everything else she writes, because of how richly and full of nuance she writes female characters in particular.

Thank you so much for contributing!!

Thanks so much friend.

Nearly done with this gorgeously written (albeit painful) beauty as well. Robert Jones Jr’s The Prophets is necessary reading.

On this awesome @kennedyryan.bsky.social kick and loving every single one. Finished the Skyland series, though not in order.

Thank you Nick.

That said, a couple newer school-related books have the ability to transform school leadership conversations:

Street Data from Shane Safir & Jamila Dugan
Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations from @nqcliteracy.bsky.social

I'll try to think of some more if it would be helpful!

Couldn’t put down this last installment of the @kennedyryan.bsky.social Skyland series- characters so full, rich and real.

Beyond good, it was amazing. Highly recommend.

Aww you’re sweet. That was the half!! Full marathon Nov 2 🙏🏽

I loved This Thing of Ours by Frederick Joseph — so much warmth+ love in this story of friendship, resistance+ self-discovery. One of those books that confronts a lot w/o feeling impossible, providing a springboard to teach + talk w young ppl about racism, homophobia, book banning + social justice.

Thank you so much for this important work- and for sharing !

I loved this @kennedyryan.bsky.social so, so much. Such lush character development and lots of spice. Can’t wait for my next by her.

Devouring important reads on vacation. This collection by Frederick Joseph was raw, unfiltered, essential. Heart-breaking too. I’ll be thinking about these essays for a long time.
