We came back! This month, we read Jacqueline Woodson’s Another Brooklyn and loved it. The book has been long-listed for a National Book Award in fiction and it’s well deserved. Join us for a conversation about the book’s beautiful descriptions of black girlhood and the joys of “sneaky writing.”
Have you read Another Brooklyn? Tweet us what you thought of the book at @blackchicklit.
