Hi Breanne,

Thanks for the note. That was a goal for 2020. It was a 12 month commitment to learning and I am glad I did it, as I learned a LOT. Two books on the list (Heavy and The Lynching) were from the list. I was pretty fried this year and focused more on reading for pleasure vs reading to learn: a lot of fiction and thrillers. I will always strive to read from a diverse mix of authors (more than 25% of the books on my list this year were by authors of color – I would have liked that number to be higher), and if a new book in the anti-racism space comes out I will absolutely read it.

Best,
Grace

Or was that a one year and done goal? It was a ‘big focus’ in 2020 and now just no mention.

Thank you, I really appreciate it and am ordering both! (And I do hope to get back to more social justice books etc when the pandemic brain fog lifts!!!!).

Thanks for the reply!

I have two recommendations that fit the bill:
– All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M Morris (came out in late 2021)
– Like a Sister by Kellye Garrett (comes out in March)

Neither was OMG-hands-down-5-stars amazing for me, but totally scratched the itch and I think you might enjoy!
