Bibliomancy for Beginners s.6 e.2: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
For episode two of this new season, we’re keeping the OwnVoices theme with this one! I’ve wanted to read this since the second it came out, but grad school is hard guys. I figured it fit the theme perfectly and this way I’d make everyone read it! Great idea, past me.

This Side of Home by Renee Watson Review
Today I review a great book about the layers and intersectionalities of race, socioeconomics, love and friendship.
