I got three books in the mail yesterday. All review books at that. I did not expect them to all arrive on the same day. First, I received Oronde Ash's 17 to Life: A Black Boy Memoir. When Ash noticed I was reading Kaffir Boy, he told me that book and Wright's Black Boy are what inspired him to write his memoir.

Next, I received Choices by Katrina L. Burchett. It's about five African American teenage girls faced with some difficult decisions. I was not aware, even after doing due diligence, that this is Christian fiction. I was only under the impression that it was YA fiction. I'm open, so, we'll see how that goes.

Finally, I got Searching For Whitopia by Rich Benjamin. This nonfiction book explores Benjamin's journey through some of the whitest areas in America and what these "whitopias" mean to the future of the nation.

Looking forward to reading these in the next few weeks.
