Hey y’all! Welcome to the my leg of The Black Kids Book Tour hosted by Hear Our Voices. I finished the last of my Psychology classes last month so I basically have a Psychology degree. I’ll be spending these next two semesters focusing on my English major, so that could probably help with future analyses.
Enough about me, let’s talk about this story.
Hey y’all, welcome to my ARC review of The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reeds. I’m part of the Hear Our Voices book tour for The Black Kids and my official date for the tour is tomorrow, so make sure to check back for some fun posts.
I feel like book twitter is always calling us out for how we’re all in love with fictional people but y’all! LaShawn could like… get it. If LaShawn was real, just know he’d be my man no questions asked.
Trigger Warning: Racism, microaggressions, mention of depression, mention of suicide, physical abuse
So I know I said I probably wasn’t going to review this but then I decided to anyway since this week is just devoted to reviews. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into this super short review.
Opposite of Always has been on my TBR for the longest time now. I even added it to my list of books I needed to get through in 2020. I’ve been meaning to get around to it and this ended up being the perfect time to do just that.
I listened to Opposite of Always on audiobook. I used the CloudLibrary app to borrow it from my library.
It took me a whole year but I finally read On the Come Up! *throws confetti* I know I’m late to the party but who shows up on time?
I’ve mentioned before that I was going through a bit of a reading slump before remembering that audiobooks existed. My library does a fairly good job of getting audiobooks onto the CloudLibrary app and On the Come Up has been in my list of saved books for a while now. Every time I think about starting it, something comes up to distract me. Thankfully this time around, I actually started it.
