    I have loved books every since I was a child. So I am incredibly honored to be elected to the NBCC Board to serve with such a fantastic, brilliant group of book critics and be part of honoring amazing books and writers with recognition and awards.

    Congratulations to the eight members who'll join the NBCC board in March: Carlin Romano

    A Rhode Island school district will begin serving students who owe lunch money cold sandwiches rather than a hot meal.

    There is so much to say about the Caster Semanya case: biological essentialism, how Blackness is incompatible with binary notions of gender, how white women engage victimhood as a punitive, anti-black apparatus, and how hegemonic womanhood is operationalised and maintained

    how dare you judge robert e. lee by modern standards like "slavery is bad" and "treason is not great either"

    I see Robert E. Lee is getting dragged on Twitter by a bunch of mouth-breathers who aren’t fit to lick the soles of his boots. This modern trend of dragging great men in history using today’s sensibilities is foul to me.

    I think this will rank in his parenting highlights at about the same level as when I saw him chasing ravens and told him if he yelled “Nevermore!” the ravens would let him catch them. And he spent all afternoon screaming “Nevermore!” while chasing ravens. 😂😂😂

    This Saturday is independent bookstore day! Every day is a good day to visit an indie bookstore but it will be extra great to do so this weekend. Some of my favorites are Source Booksellers in Detroit and Eso Won in LA, both black-owned.
