Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

 

by J.K. Rowling

Still my favorite after all these years!

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You

 

by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi

Wow. I feel weird saying I "enjoyed" a book like this, but that speaks to the enumerable talents of Jason Reynolds--that he can take this topic, and actually make it something that you really look forward to picking up and reading again every time you put it down. Horrified, heart-broken, educated, enlightened. Puzzled, ashamed, shocked, sadly not-shocked. Simultaneously energized and defeatedly depressed. Lots of emotions here. Many have said this before me, but what an important book to have in our hands right now.
