Amanda's Reading List
This reading list started in an effort to document works read while taking LIBR 545 in the Summer 2020 Term 1. Though I started the course focusing on female creators, in light of recent events I have moved to reading books by BIPOC creators, with a specific focus on LGBTQ2IA+ materials across a variety of genres. Post-LIBR 545, I will be expanding this list to include a variety of age categories while still reading and promoting books by BIPOC writers, illustrators, and artists.
