Rambling Thoughts: Still waiting on those holds (Eyes that Kiss in the Corners and Laxmi’s Mooch, where are you?!?). Fewer titles again this week as my free time is tied into webinar prep. I’m co-presenting a webinar this week on no-contact programming opportunities, highlighting a lot of the programs you’ve seen here! It’s keeping me busy, that’s for sure.
Make sure to stop by on Tuesdays for short reviews of some of these titles!

I didn’t yet have Just Like a Mama or the latest Shirley Chisholm biography on my list, so I’m glad to get to add them. And I really enjoyed For Black Girls LIke Me. Thanks for the shares, Annamarie!
Nice list!

Just Like a Mama, the Shirley Chisholm biography, For Black Girls Like Me, and I Love You, Baby Burrito all sound great! Good luck with your webinar this week! Thanks for the wonderful post!
I’m so glad you enjoyed This Place: 150 Years Retold. I loved it so much and worked hard to convince other Cybil judges that it should win last year.
