Included Lit

Included Lit is a term that my friends Natalia and Natalie created in order to share and promote diverse books. I've included their graphic with their mission statement of sorts below, and it also shares how you can interact with the hashtag on your individual social media platforms (Booktubers should also tag their videos and tweets with the hashtag!), so make sure to use it!

Graphic says "#INCLUDEDLIT was born because we believe diverse books should get the same love as other strongly marketed books, so in an effort to promote diverse books, a space for people to share their love for them and diverse creators, we encourage you to use #includedlit Twitter uses and Bloggers: Tag your tweets about diverse books with it! Bookstagrammers: Use the hashtag for your diverse reads posts, visit the hashtag often, comment and like on the posts! So we can encourage engagement and visibility of the amazing books we share :)

This page contains my book rambles and videos that I've made about Included Lit books, and you can look to the side for lists of my anticipated Included Lit releases, as well as the ones I'm most excited to read.

A Guide to Anti-Racist Resources | #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname

Hi everyone. Welcome to Nox the Reader, and today I'm sharing a compiled list of different anti-racist resources that I've seen shared on Bookstagram and Twitter. Please note: THIS LIST IS EVER-EVOLVING AND EXPANDING. AS I GATHER MORE INFORMATION, I WILL BE ADDING IT TO THIS GUIDE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD, PLEASE DM ME ON TWITTER @nox_reads, OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW. Before I share this list, all I want to say is that I'm mad as hell and I'm tired. My dad always shared stories about living in Inglewood in the 90s during the time of Rodney King and the LA Riots. And it's almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. I've grown up surrounded by names as hashtags and videos cycled through the media and it's infuriating  and heartbreaking and exhausting . And a lot of us are wondering what to do, how to break this system and burn it to the ground. And it starts with educating ourselves and uplifting the voices of others. In this list are book

Book Ramble - One of Us is Lying

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and this is my book ramble for  One of Us is Lying  by Karen M. McManus, a solid  PROBABLY WON'T REREAD.  "That's the kind of person you can get away with killing: someone everyone else wants dead." TRIGGER WARNING: Death, alcohol, drugs, mentions of suicide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S P O I L E R - F R E E  T A L K  Right off the bat, I have to say: I  had  to read this book. It's the Breakfast Club with a murder in it, how could I not? And of course, they make a joke about it in the book (Simon saying that they're all walking 80's movies stereotypes). It was such an interesting concept to me, a combination of some of my favorite things: retellings, mystery, and murder (in  stories . Obviously I do not condone actually murder.  Please don't murder people. This has been a PSA. ) S
