I know this post is so late. But I just wanted to tell you the African American literature I plan on reading this month. I went to the library, trying to figure out what books I should read.I  searched on the library’s search engine for books about African American women but that came to no avail. I ended up stumbling across a Black lit display the library had put out for black history month. I choose four books:

1. “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf” by Ntozake Shange

2. “Beloved” by Toni Morrison

3. “The Women Of Brewster Place” by Gloria Naylor

4. “The Souls Of Black Folks” by W.E.B Du Bois

I just started reading For Colored Girls… and I must say it is an interesting piece of work. I am not that good at reading poetry but this book is a joy to read. The librarian who checked out my books said she had read it and believed the poems came to life when you read them out loud. So that’s what I’ve been doing and I must say I think the librarian was right.

I really wanted to get books that focused on black women so that’s why the books I got are about and black women, with the exception of ” The Souls Of Black Folks”. I wanted to get the Frederick Douglass Narrative but I decided to get that the next time I go to the library.

I intend on writing a review of the books, so keep an eye out for that.

Well write to ya later.

Peace, Wiggy Wack ♥
