March is my favorite month of the year for several reasons – it’s National Women’s Month, March has awesome holidays like St Patricks Day and more importantly International Women’s Day, and ALSO happens to be my birthday month (yay Aries)! So keeping with the theme of celebrating women, this month’s challenge is to read a book written by a woman of color. Below are a few books to keep in mind when considering what to read this month. I also included a few links at the bottom since there are already some awesome lists out there.
