Pretty unsurprisingly, the place I found books with subtitles was my non-fiction shelf. I haven't read any of these books yet (I read non-fiction much less frequently than fiction, and much slower too). But they all seem to be really interesting subjects that I'm looking forward to diving into at some point!

I enjoy non-fiction because it is the broadest category of literature. These powerful men are worth your time! #spinesvines #democracyinblack #theblackpresidency #writingmywrongs #blackhistorymonth

I forgot the book I'm currently reading at home. I started losing interest but I will finish it. For now, I'll start The Black Presidency

'When you lock us up, you're imprisoning yourself in some fashion.' Lots of thought-providers. Glad I waited through 300 holds for this one...

I'm so excited! I NEVER read books the same year they're published! Just like with music, I'm always a waaaaay late-adopter/discoverer. But not this time. Excited to see what this book has to say about how to help this nation move forward.
