I pass him both my and Mom’s documents and attempt the smile that every person of color has mastered. The one that reads, I’m thoroughly nonthreatening. Please don’t pull me aside and racially profile me. Thoughts : I can't remember how I found this book or why I chose to read it. It was available on my library's Overdrive catalog and I'm glad I made the time to read it.

I've been having a brilliant reading week. I finished The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown - did I mention that I absolutely loved it? - and followed it up with two graphic novels - Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun by Geoffrey Canada and Stitches by David Small - and am now enjoying Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld (sequel to Leviathan). I hope to get to one more book by the end of the day.

Loved Stitches, and would like to read Weird Sisters as well.
Have a great week.
I agree, Disqus takes a while to load, but it's so much better than the custom Blogger comment system. It's so easy now to comment and reply!
