Hi! I plan on focusing a good deal of my nonfiction reading on social justice issues next year (and the end of this year). I have been unable to find such a challenge in the past, so decided to host one this coming year. I will have a post each month on the first day for people to link up their reviews, starting in December 2019. Feel free to read as many or as few books as you desire. I will be aiming for about one book a month. Books that I plan on reading:
Please say in the comments if you would be interested in joining with your own selection of social justice books, so I can watch your blog.

I admire you for wanting to take on so many social justice books.They can be depressing topics, but so important.

Thanks! Yes, it’s a hard subject, but one that I am very interested in. I also read a lot of books about mental health and the failed mental health system, but they will have to wait for another year.

I highly recommend adding “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson. I just finished it and it’s extraordinary.

Glad you’re joining Nancy! I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you about suggestions, it’s hard keeping up with my comments with the baby around!
I’d suggest Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson for one. It was fantastic.
Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates is another good one.
Also try Half the Sky, by Nicholas Kristof
