📚 Now Reading & NYE Reflection 📚
First off why is #kindred labeled science fiction? This is horror! Being spirited away from modern day to slavery times as a woman of color.., no thank you 😨! I find myself taking breaks, afraid to turn the page and see what happens next. 😳
Dear 2020,
I can’t wait to meet you at midnight! I have so much planned. I hope to read with the focus of my future career in mind! I want to read books I won’t feel guilty of recommending to a bright young mind as an academic librarian. I want to read with a focus on people of color as I aim to work within a diverse demographic establishment. I want to be that black proud Afro American book pusher they never knew existed rocking my walking obstruction of an Afro and quoting Maya Angelou. That’s my vision, y’all 😊! I want to engage productively on bookstagram… commenting more, highlighting my peeps making waves, and encouraging all readers! I want to be less afraid to speak my mind and more terrified of remaining silent. I want to read more to the children and bring them books of characters that look like them. I want find more creative ways to snap a picture and promote authors, publishers, and artists. I want to buddy read, IG chat, and bring you all more new words. Thinking of the year 2020 makes me feel old.🤔 Yet it also makes me feel hopeful. I look forward to continuing this bookish journey with each and everyone of you! Let the countdown begin!
