I’ve set up a ko-fi account to support my expenses, as finances are a bit uncertain due to Covid. No worries if you can’t donate right now! Take care of yourself 💗

Good to see a classic like ‘The Color Purple’ on a list like this, rather than just contemporary YA fiction (not that there’s anything wrong w/ YA, but versatility is good.) ‘The Color Purple’ is the only one I’ve actually read, but I also want to read ‘The Henna Wars’ and ‘Juliet Takes a Breath.’ Great list! 🙂

I always try to diversify if I can! If you like classics (and poetry), I would recommend Audre Lorde.
Glad you enjoyed this post, thank you for visiting!
