We all have too many books to read. Here's my list! You may notice that it includes a lot of authors of color and international authors, as well as some education and environmental justice. Sci fi/fantasy books written by men usually has eye-candy women in place of substantial plot, and I would like to thank Amherst Books and Buzzfeed for their interest in diversity and being/supporting local bookstores.
