For being the shortest month of the year, I actually had a really successful month of reading in February! Because February is Black History Month, I really wanted to prioritize reading books about Black characters and by Black authors. The only book that didn't fit this criteria was Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe which I finished early in the month (February 4th) and I had been working on since July 2019. This book has been hanging over my head for so long and I was thrilled to finally finish it! After that, every book I picked up was by a Black author with a Black-centered story. I, of course, want to make this a priority year-round, and will continue to track the identities that I'm reading from throughout the year.
