Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.

Black queer fantasy rec of the day.

200 years after Cinderella, women live in servitude. Girls are chosen by men at the royal ball, or their life is forfeit. One lesbian girl refuses to obey the system, seeking a different ending to the fairytale.

Full of inspirational rage!

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔

He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚
