Sometimes it's the cover that gets me.

Yeah, so that's that one.

And so something that I have that I was thinking a lot about as I picked the books and was thinking about launching the book club is that I didn't want it to turn into a situation where

attendees of color are feeling like they have to educate other non, you know, attendees of color.

And I also didn't want the book club to be super heavy.

So I was trying to find the right balance of absolutely, because we're all about amplifying Black voices and the Black experience, identifying some reads that would allow us to dig into that, but really set people up

to be able to then carry on with their own research and reading beyond that, if that makes sense.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

The next one is Zeal by Morgan Jerkins.

And this is actually another one that's checking off historical fiction and romance.

So it is a love story from the post-Civil War era, and it takes you all the way to present-day Harlem.

So I haven't read this one.

I'm looking forward to it.

The next one is, oh, this one I'm super excited about.

So the next one is, I want to get the full title.

Black Owned, The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore by Char Adams.

So if anyone follows me, you may have seen a post where we posted a picture of that book and announced that we are in the book.
