So I haven't had a free minute to post our 4th choice in Book Boos, but since it's just before midnight my time(EST) I figure, it cant hurt to post it before the day ends!
Our next Book Boo comes from one of the first reviews I gave this year(Guinevere). It's been bugging me all the time after that #WeNeedDiverseBooks tweet BookRiot highlighted about Black boys.
Made us wonder whether we were doing enough to highlight more Black boys in books, and not just boys of color as a whole.
Highlighting all boys of color is important, but in an era where #BlackLivesMatter is still a concept that is not widely accepted, it's important to have, share, highlight, and make sure positive images of Black boys and girls make it through =)
Our Day Four Book Boo is "Matthew" from "The Boy in the Black Suit".(My fan-casting is totally my fantasy btw! XD )
For those who haven't read it, I left my review here.
I loved the book so much, I decided to make it apart of our Favorites Month!
Who are some of your favorite book love interests in your favorite reads?
That was an awesome book! and Yes, Matthew. Swoon...
