However, we feel it's important to acknowledge the events of the past week. The BookishFirst team has been actively reflecting, listening, learning, and brainstorming, and we hope you'll read BookishFirst's statement here. As readers, we turn to books when we recognize a need to educate ourselves on the issue of systemic racism. We can use our power as bookworms to review and spread the word about anti-racist books and books by Black authors, and we're sharing a few recommendations in the newsletter below. New York Times Bestselling Author of Eragon Kira Navárez dreamed of finding life on new worlds. Now she has awakened a nightmare. Jump into these Bookish Conversations: Do you have a bookstagram?
