Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The topic for this week is ‘Books on my Summer 2020 TBR’.
This week Top Ten Tuesday turns 10! I have been taking part in this meme for a few years now and want to congratulate the creators for keeping it going for this long. This week’s topic is to either do a previous TTT topic or get creative! For me I am going to be sharing my favourite YA Novels written by Black authors. With all that is going on with the Black Lives Matter movement, I wanted to share these books in the hope that you all go and look into them and hopefully buy them.
What are your favourite books by Black authors?
* With everything that is going on in the world right now I couldn’t not talk about it. I am in huge support of the Black Lives Matter movement and am devastated with what I am seeing and hearing on a day to day basis. I couldn’t be silent about it and I urge you if you haven’t already to please donate, sign petitions and get involved. Please don’t stay silent. This link will take you to a list of where you can get information on signing petitions, donating and how you can help.
