Thanks to #netgalley and #randomhousepublishing for giving me my first ARC, Well-Read Black Girl! This book is the epitome of why representation matters. Well-Read Black Girl is an anthology of essays by black women writers. All of the women represented in the book share a common love for reading at an early age, and the lack of representation in books with girls who look like them. Well-Read Black girl is very timely and necessary. Thanks to the wonderful women who contributed to this book and to the editor Glory Edim, girls and women today can relate to the characters created through all of their voices.

This collection of essays was a wonderful look into literature written by (and in many cases for) black women. I plan to use several of the titles discussed in this book on our #WeNeedDiverseBooks display coming up & my reading list grew longer and longer with every essay in this book.
