Instead of doing an advent calendar I did a Book Countdown over the holiday season. I meant to share it with all of you in December but life happens. So better late than ever (I hope). I shared many of these on my Instagram but I’ve never been good at completing photo challenges. And furthermore, if you’re anything like me you like a link to take you where to get the products. You will find links to Amazon for most of these titles. Please note that they are affiliate links. If you choose to purchase through the links it won’t cost you anything additional but will garner me a small compensation.
I know it is February and the holiday season is past us but trust me some of these are not to be missed. And if you’re looking for books to celebrate Black History Month you can find a few fitting ideas below as well. We celebrate Black leaders year round in our home so these books get read regardless of the month but sometimes the theme of the month can remind us to add diversity to our libraries!
With the holidays still in recent memory, some of our wallets might not be looking to buy new books so make sure your local library is carrying these titles as well! Without further ado here are the titles included in my countdown!
