Recs if you like How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective...

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

Me & White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad, and books from as many of the authors mentioned therein that I could find. (Including books from the Further Learning section.)

All credit for this list goes to ysaleftyouonread on instagram! This is her list of female authors she spotlighted for Women’s History Month, that are “not the same five white ladies” we always hear about! My personal goal is to read one book from each of these 31 women this year; I have been loving this journey and wanted to share with you all!

(Check out Ysa’s reels, she does a great job of describing the vibes without giving away the story!)

books i’ve read or want to read on community organizing, liberation and building a better world

I am going to add more information in the comments.

Happy reading!
