Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just cleared another ebook - Dodgers by Bill Beverly. This book was incredibly honest. It honestly portrayed the life of a black boy born into gang life in the inner city. It honestly portrayed how a black child is perceived by white privileged America. It was written well. That being said, it was difficult to read. The subject matter is not easy. But it's an important truth. Definitely worth reading. 4 stars

Ula (ulapoolia) | 133 comments I've been meaning to sign up for this one but I keep taking books out of the library! I will start as soon as I'm finished with my current library haul. (But I'm also trying to reduce the number of books I buy by taking more out of the library so it's kind of already working, ha)

My goal is 10 books. Lots of classics so it will also check things off other challenges.

0/10

Choices (although they may change):
Mary, Called Magdalene
Crime and Punishment
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Water Wings
The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits: Stories
Pippi Longstocking
The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating
A is for Alibi
Inner Simplicity: 100 Ways to Regain Peace and Nourish Your Soul
Agnes Grey
Hoot
The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way
