A fascinating book for those who are interested in linguistics and the impact of the internet on the English language! 💫 I rescued it from a bargain crate and I’m happy that I did 😌
Supporting Black authors is something that I definitely need to start doing more, so I’ve compiled a list of 80 YA books by Black authors. I’m putting the ones that I’ve read at the top in bold, and the rest will be books that I have looked up and have put on my list to read. I can’t do much to change what’s going on in our world right now, but I can do my part to support the Black community in any way that I can. These are in no particular order and please feel free to add more!
