Heavy (Kiese Laymon)
Ordinary Hazards (Nikki Grimes)
There, There (Tommy Orange)
Well, That Escalated Quickly (Franchesca Ramsey)

I am still finishing The Alice Network so I will be commenting on those this week too (Love the book, just crazy busy so I got behind).
I'm not opposed to doing two books, but may run behind again :)
Hey All! I'm all for starting another book--I don't know that I will be able to keep up with both, but I'm willing to set it up!
I am thinking that maybe I will just put book titles on the folders instead of months so that folks don't feel like they have to drop one just because that month is done. Thoughts?

1. It's available on Hoopla, so as many people as want to can read it at the same time; and
2. It keeps coming up on "Best Short Books" lists. When I was working on a plan for this group, back in April, I assumed that surely life would be back to normal by July and people would be busy doing summer things!
Well, it was a nice idea at the time, but here we are.
I had a request from a group member about we consider discussion a book about race, given all that's going on in our country right now. If other folks would like to, I would be up for doing two books this month and people can pick and choose if they would like.
How do you all feel? Leave a reply--and include any recommendations you might have!
