May TBR Stack | 2019
‘Tis a new month so you know what that means! New reads!!!
This month I’ll be reading the following:
— Heads of the Colored People (Our May BGM book selection) by Nafissa Thompson Spires (purchase here: https://amzn.to/2Y2VkvR)
— White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson
— The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory
And if I have time as a bonus, I’ll tackle the Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon since the movie drops in theaters this month! Trying to go with the less is more approach with my reading these days. I’m so overwhelmed with kids activities, working 10 hour days, traveling, working on Book Girl Magic projects and everything in between that I just haven’t had the time to read like I want to!
How do you find balance and what will you be reading this month?
Also, be sure to check out our May newsletter with a special black bookstagrammer feature, featuring Anna Issac!!

Being in a book club definitely helps with keeping my reading on track and even though my TBR pile is constantly growing I find that not putting too much pressure on myself to read read read is the way to go. I think it’s always good to have books that I want to read! It ensures I never get bored, lol! I recently finished a fantastic book by author Donna Baier Stein called “Scenes from the Heartland.” It is a wonderful collection of short stories about Midwesterners in the early 20th century. What makes it so unique is that these stories were inspired by lithographs from American artist Thomas Hart Benton (these sketches are included in the book too). The stories are about hardship, survival, passion, cruelty, and simple acts of kindness. It really is historical fiction at it’s finest and one of the most interesting books I’ve found this year. I really hope you will give it a read. You can learn more about the book or the author here: https://donnabaierstein.com/ Happy Reading!
