February 2019 TBR

February is my favorite month for many reasons.

1. Black History Month

2. The #OnceYouGoBlackout challenge (on instagram)

3. Valentine’s Day

4. It’s my birthday month and the birthday month of so many greats!

Understandably it’s the one month where I am overwhelmed with love. Love for black people and love for self!

I make it a tradition every year in February to read only books authored by people of African diaspora, so here’s what I’ll be reading this month:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

— The Color Purple by Alice Walker with @diverseclassics and @diversespines

— Eloquent Rage by Brittney Cooper for our (Book Girl Magic’s) February Book of the Month — update: ebook is on sale all month long for $2.99 on Amazon, Nook and iBooks

— The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory as a little Valentine’s Day treat. update: just found out Reese Witherspoon’s book club is reading this for February 😱. The timing is epic!

— The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Aside from these personal book picks, I’ll be posting books and celebrating black authors all month long through the #OnceYouGoBlackOut challenge. My official day in the challenge is every Wednesday’s, so be sure to come back to see what I have in store for you! Follow the hashtag to look for challenge details!

Such an exciting month we have ahead! What will you be reading during the month of February?
