💬 What are you #currentlyreading? . I started reading If You Come Softly by @jacqueline_woodson earlier, then decided to switch over to the audio version. I’m loving the two narrators, and this story is beautiful, powerful and touching. If you’re looking for a short read that packs a punch, this one is for you. . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ A lyrical story of star-crossed love perfect for readers of The Hate U Give, by National Ambassador for Children's Literature Jacqueline Woodson—now celebrating its twentieth anniversary, and including a new preface by the author Jeremiah feels good inside his own skin. That is, when he's in his own Brooklyn neighborhood. But now he's going to be attending a fancy prep school in Manhattan, and black teenage boys don't exactly fit in there. So it's a surprise when he meets Ellie the first week of school. In one frozen moment their eyes lock, and after that they know they fit together—even though she's Jewish and he's black. Their worlds are so different, but to them that's not what matters. Too bad the rest of the world has to get in their way. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #ifyoucomesoftly #jacquelinewoodson #blackauthors #yacontemporary #yaromance #bibliophile #totalbooknerd #myreadinglife #lifestyleinspo #amreading #awakethelight #seekinspirecreate #bookstagram #bookphotography #yabookstagram #yabooks #bookworm #momentsofmine #audiobooksofinstagram #hyggestyle #mybeigelife #hyggehome https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2hsbrHCXY/?igshid=1c984tpdfq1vi
