  • For the past week I'm sure a lot of us have been processing what a world without Toni Morrison looks and feels like, and I'm sure a lot of us are still trying to figure that out. But that process is so much easier when you can do it with a community of people who love her as much as you do. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us this past Sunday to reflect on what Toni Morrison means to us all. Thank you to @thefreeblackwomenslibrary_la for leading the charge and inviting #MyLitBox to join in the celebration of her life. Thank you to the @reparations.club for opening their doors and creating a space where we were allowed to feel. Thank you to @shondabuchanan and @bridgettebianca for sharing photos. And most of all, thank you to everyone who filled that room. I hope the memories and experiences shared in that room comfort you. ❤ . . . . . #tonimorrison #bookphotography #books #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstore #bookworm #currentlyreading #diversity #igreads #instabook #nowreading #read #reading #tbr #tbrlist #writersofcolor #blog #blogger #bookblog #subscriptionbox #wellreadblackgirl #wrbg

  • What can we say about Toni Morrison that hasn't already been said? She was a gifted writer who centered the experiences of Black women and men and she did so unapologetically and she passed that unapologetic spirit on to all of us. Whether we write or not she gave us permission to be seen, be heard, to tell our own stories in our own voices and for that reason alone we should all be grateful. Rest well, Ms. Morrison. ❤
  • ⬅️SWIPE➡️ And just like that it's August and we have three new books for you to choose from! . . . *Original My Lit Box* By now I’m sure a lot of us have realized that sometimes it’s better to stand out than to fit in, but what happens when that desire to fit in or belong is too strong to ignore? In next month’s adult fiction selection, we’ll see how someone grapples with this from their childhood into adulthood. . . . *Black Women are Lit* In this collection of short stories, the author allows us to witness the relationships between estranged lovers, fathers and daughters, heroes and those in need of saving and these stories will take us from the States to the Caribbean and back again. . . . *YA is Lit* In our YA selection, we meet a cast of characters with pasts they’d rather put behind them, but they all find that you can' always outrun your past, entirely. If you’re curious about any if these titles,be the first to find out by subscribing today! . . . . . #bookphotography #books #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstore #bookworm #currentlyreading #diversity #igreads #instabook #nowreading #read #reading #tbr #tbrlist #writersofcolor #blog #blogger #bookblog #subscriptionbox #wellreadblackgirl #wrbg
  • Happy pub day, @kalishaonline! If the cover art doesn't stop you dead in your treks, the synopsis will. "On a cold December evening, Autumn Spencer’s twin sister, Summer, walks to the roof of their shared Harlem brownstone and is never seen again. The door to the roof is locked, and the snow holds only one set of footprints. Faced with authorities indifferent to another missing Black woman, Autumn must pursue the search for her sister all on her own." Is Speaking of Summer on your TBR list? . . . . . #bookphotography #books #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstore #bookworm #currentlyreading #diversity #igreads #instabook #nowreading #read #reading #tbr #tbrlist #writersofcolor #blog #blogger #bookblog #subscriptionbox #wellreadblackgirl #wrbg #speakingofsummer
  • #LiteraryLA join us Sunday, Juy 28th from 3-5 PM at @findyourhilltop for an afternoon of community and conversation as we discuss Speak No Evil by Uzodinma Iweala. "Speak No Evil explores what it means to be different in a fundamentally conformist society and how that difference plays out in our inner and outer struggles. It is a novel about the power of words and self-identification, about who gets to speak and who has the power to speak for other people."

  • Our final June #MyLitBox is our Black Women are Lit! Box featuring Patsy by Nicole Dennis-Denn (@ndennisbenn). In this novel, we witness a mother grapple with tough decisions as she makes a choice between her first love and her daughter, leaving her daughter to grapple with some tough decisions of her own. We wanted the items in this month's box to serve as validation that everyone deserves the right to exist as their full selves and all that entails. . . . . . #bookphotography #books #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstore #bookworm #currentlyreading #diversity #igreads #instabook #nowreading #read #reading #tbr #tbrlist #writersofcolor #blog #blogger #bookblog #subscriptionbox #wellreadblackgirl #wrbg
