2013 Book List
Habari Gani! It is the first day of Kwanzaa, Umoja, and in a time of unity of the culture, race, and nation, I am thinking about what I've been doing here the last few years - reading and reviewing black female literature. It is also the day after Christmas when many reviewers are either listing their best books of 2012 or preparing their 2013 list of must-read-books. I am doing the same. I am still determined to give light and voice to the words written by black female authors or those about black female authors. But I have also decided to expand my repertoire a bit this year by including literary works by my sisters in writing. Two books I am excited to read in 2013 include Shattered Illusions by my young Jewish friend - Leigh Hershkovich . Her book is listed on Goodreads and you can find out more about her through her blog. The other one I am excited to read is by my cousin. It is still a manuscript, but will be a moving story about the interracial love story tha
