I pulled this suggestion off of Vivatramp’s 100 Book Blog Post Ideas list. It’s pretty self-explanatory. I’m going to sift through my TBR and share which books I should have read already!
The New Jim Crow
Pretty self-explanatory. This book shares some really important information and as a white person I feel compelled to educate myself on racism and what I can do about it more than I currently do.
On Writing
Everyone raves about this book and insists that every aspiring writer needs to read it. I’m not sure whether or not I consider myself an aspiring writer, but I am trying to write and I do like Stephen King.

I bought this off Amazon MONTHS ago so I could read my own copy and I STILL haven’t picked it up yet. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
Redwall
Hey y’all, how did I miss out on this one in my youth????
Blankets
I’ve been eyeing this one for yeaaars and somehow still haven’t picked it up. It looks gorgeous, though.
What about y’all? What books do you think you should’ve gotten to by now?

The New Jim Crow is on my list as well, along with THUG and Sing, Unburied, Sing and a couple others addressing race issues.

The latter two need to go on my list as well, I feel so uneducated on racial issues.

I’m just as shameful about not having read On Writing yet. No good excuse here either!

I would say the same about Redwall! I remember watching the cartoon; don’t know why I never picked up the book… I am actually starting a monthly feature on Friday all about books I feel I should have read already 😛 One of the books on my list is The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson.

Ooh, that’s a really fun feature! I’ve read The Lottery (the story), but I do really want to read more Shirley Jackson, so that should be on my list as well! 🙂

Thanks! I read The Haunting of Hill House a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I’ve got a poll up now so you can vote for The Lottery if you like 😛 twitter.com/fallingletters/status/1007625510585712640
