5/5 - made me feel a lot less crazy about some of the stuff going on today. Really validates that ‘this is some nazi shit going on, right?’ feeling. Going into home library for the kids to read #justfinished #nonfiction #politicalbooks #resist #booksky

"All Boys Aren’t Blue" by George M. Johnson book cover. The cover art features a painterly style and depicts a Black person with a serious expression, wearing a colourful flower crown made of roses and birds of paradise. The background features a gradient sky that is blue and shifts to pink. The title is in bold white letters on the left bottom corner with the subtitle “A Memoir-Manifesto” above the author's name in blue at the bottom right

Posting banned/challenged books I've read, and their reasons for being banned. 'Slaughterhouse-Five' by Kurt Vonnegut: Offensive language, war depiction, disrespect of political authority and 'emotionally disturbing scenes.' Read #bannedbooks ! #booksky #bookchallenge #💙📚 #politicalbooks
2/???
Red book cover. Yellow writing top of page: Kurt Vonnegut. Centre page: "Poignant and hilarious, threaded with compassion and, behind everything, the cataract of a thundering moral statement." - The Boston Globe. Centre Page: crude, sketch-like drawing of a yellow skull, outlined in black. Bottom Page: SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE A NOVEL.
