18/?: If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo. Holy bejesus. If you haven’t read this book, please, go and pick up a copy this instant. It’s a beautiful illustration of the human condition and absolutely everyone needs to read it. This book completes the #readharder challenge prompt #18: Read a novel by a #trans or #nonbinary author. #readingchallenge #bookstagram #amreading #ifiwasyourgirl #YA (at Changing Hands Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2ZO-UluaY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k46lq0o1r4bt

Some of the #books I hope to read in 2018 #readharder #bookriot

My LuLaRoe leggings collection is getting pretty out of control. But how much do I love these pianos? And the fact that I'm finally getting to read the the new Jami Attenberg book! I get to meet her tonight! Happy Sunday indeed! #allthebooks #thatswhatsheread #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookworm #bibliophile #2017readingchallenge #readhard #readharder #readingharderest #bibliomaniac #goodreads #booknerd #booknerds #reading #books #bookstagrammer #currentlyreading #currentread #jamiattenberg #lularoeleggings

Currently Reading: Americanah - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie This is beautifully written and I’m particularly enjoying reading Ifemelu’s experiences in America. Really looking forwards to seeing Chimamanda speak at Women of the World in London in March!

Happy Birthday Nikki Giovanni! . . "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts." . . . Yolande Cornelia Giavonni, Jr. was born in Knoxville, TN, in 1943. She grew up in Cincinnati and graduated from Fisk University and is a distinguished professor at Virginia Tech. She established the first Black Arts Festival in Cincinnati in 1967, and by the 70's, Giovanni was an award-winning poet ushering forward the Black Arts Movement. From children's books to essays, from activism to poetry, Nikki Giovanni has done, and continues to do, so much for the intersection of Civil Rights and Black literature. . . . #blackwomenwriters #womenwriters #blackwriters #community #blackpoets #poetry #art #professor #civilrights #activist #artivist #NikkiGiovanni #blackliterature #readblackbooks #africanamericanliterature #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #shelfie #booksonbooksonbooks #buybooks #readbooks #YoMaYouRead #bookstagram #books #readmore #readharder
