A book written by an author of a different race from yourself

[Stina]

I have already read The Haunting of Tram Car 015 for this one, and I highly recommend it. Though you might want to start at the beginning of the series with A Dead Djinn in Cairo. I doubt it will be my last AOC read for the year, though.

I really enjoyed See No Stranger by Valarie Kaur. It is a very thought-provoking book on how to contribute to an antiracist world.

I will add A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah to this list. A beautfiul but difficult to read testament to resilience and the need for a more peaceful world.

I will also include The Autobiography of Miss Jane PIttman by Lawrence J. Gaines. These three books together were my anti-racist repertoire for February and, while they were all heavy, they were all quite good reads.

I don't know why, but February was a slow reading month for me. I have several antiracist and BLM books on my TBR this year, but the only one I managed last month was Antiracist Baby.

I have had the audiobook on my TBR for years now. I really need to give it a listen.

Did she read the book herself? I bet that would be amazing.
