Think of what you want to talk about.

The 19th book we are reading is The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. This book was the winner of the vote. This time slot will be for high school students. This may have trigger warningsThe description of the book is below:

"In Morrison’s bestselling first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment."

This is part of ALA banned books week. You can check it out through SimplyE, Libby or another ereader app or at the library and have the whole book read by Monday the 29th.
