Here is what I read during March: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dear Ijeawale, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria - Wendy Pearlman ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Found You - Lisa Jewell A Blessing and a Curse - ReShonda Tate Billingsley and Victoria Christopher Murray The Blood of Emmett Till - Timothy B. Tyson ⭐⭐⭐ The Lonely Hearts Hotel - Heather O'Neill In This Moment - Karma Brown Is Canad
