3.2 Good Vibes Only: 3 Positive Book Reviews


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Community Library! It’s been a rough week for Melbourne (where I live), so this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about things that make me happy. I’ve been baking, knitting, and watching lots of Masterchef. So, in the spirit of staying positive, today I’m going to review three books I recently read and loved: Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown, The Children’s Book by A. S. Byatt, and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I hope you enjoy!

The book club pick for this month is Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, and we will be discussing this on the podcast on the 26th of July – exactly two weeks away! Please read along with us so you can join in on the discussion!
