Happy February & Black History Month to all! Join Traci (@thestackspod), Renée (@book_girl_magic), Leah (@exlibrislls), Marlowe (@lowelowexxoo), Jaime (@absorbedinpages), Anna (@never_withouta_book), & I throughout the month February. Each day one of us will serve as a “host” of the challenge: Fridays – Marlowe Saturdays – Jaime Sundays – Traci Mondays – Me Tuesdays – Leah Wednesdays – Renée Thursdays – Anna We also have 5 days that will serve essentially as a photo challenge. Below are the days where you post a book that fits a specific prompt: February 5th = Backlist February 10th = Nonfiction February 15th = Fantasy/(Afro)Futurism February 20th = Film/TV Adaptation February 25th = Short Stories/Essays You can use these days as markers for your TBR, days to post books that you plan to read, days to post books youread many moons ago, either way we just want nice photos of books written by Black folks that fall in those categories. Feel free to reach out to me if any of you have any questions about the challenge. I’m more than happy to help. #OnceYouGoBlackout #BlackMenRead #Books #Booksta #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #BlackBookstagrammer #BlackBookstagram #BlackBooksta #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #Blerd #Bibliophile #Bookaholic #BookNerd #BuddyReadBrigade #Knowledge #Learning #Reading A post shared by The Villain (@reggiereads) on Feb 1, 2019 at 12:07pm PST One last hashtag to know is #ReadingBlackout, for those of us who plan on reading Black authors all month long.
