Like last year, I chose a few books from the post 46 Books by Women of Color to Read in 2018 and I included a few titles from my Goodreads TBR. While reading everyone's final updates for 2018, I kept my Goodreads account open and added a few more titles to my list. I also added a few that I want to review for Rich in Color. I love this challenge because it gets me to read more books for adults and it's very low stress. We can change our list anytime and it's totally acceptable to skip or abandon books too. I hope you have a fabulous year filled with fabulous books.
So pleased to peruse this list. Off to Goodreads I go!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Undocumented by Tonatiuh very much and Breakout, too. I'm looking forward to Angie Thomas' new book, and will add more from your list to my 'growing' second list. Lots of good reading to come, right? Thanks, Crystal, and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI’ve read a few of these and a few others have been on my radar, but many are new to me. So many great books to check out!
ReplyDeleteYou make the best #MustRead lists! Really excited to see the new Lucy Knisley, Nicole Chung's memoir, and Apple in the Middle. All books I must read in 2019 too!
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired by your lists and your blog posts all the time Crystal! We have some of the same books on our lists which tells me I have done a good job choosing.
ReplyDeleteHeart Berries is intense, but profound. Tilly and Speaking our Truth are books I hope to get to this year from my Indigenous list. What If It's Us is in a pile of books I have from the library now. Happy reading in 2019!
Becoming and Game Changer aren't a part of my 40. But they should be. When you get to Make Space I would love to hear your thoughts. I've had it in my pile for a bit now. Thank you for sharing. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteWe share at least 3 "must read" books in common, Crystal, and I've loved the ones on your list that I've already read. I'm going to have to go check on a couple of these that I'm unfamiliar with, presently. Also, this is my first year to participate in the must read challenge, so I'm looking forward to all the future updates!
