โ€˜Reading is part of my identityโ€™: the woman taking on Goodreads owner Amazon Software engineer and developer Nadia Odunayo created the social media readersโ€™ platform StoryGraph and its popularity has rocketed

A reminder that there's a Black-woman owned site you can use to track the books you've read and want to read, in case you want to leave that *other* site.

Picture of text in the book

This book was printed in 1973.

"The old-time values of America--freedom, dignity, brotherhood--are great, but the present-day style of America--materialism, unrestrained development, bigotry--makes it a hard place to stomach"
