It’s here again, that somber, dark, short month where the world outside is dismal. As usual, I plan to use this month’s reading to keep the fires burning in my mind and heart by focusing exclusively on works by black Americans. Here is what is on the queue for this month’s reads and reviews. What are you reading?

I’m about to begin Zadie Smith’s Swing Time. Just finished Kathleen Grissom’s Kitchen House. Although she’s a white author, her novel is centered on slavery and the antebellum.

I enjoyed Swing Time more than some of Smith’s more recent works. Curious to hear how it hits you. I don’t know Kitchen House. Thanks for the rec!

Need to read more Baldwin. Love Ellison. Still more to explore!
