the backyard is where you can find Literally Black Book club

the virtual cookout is happening right now.

every month, we're reading together, occasionally pulling up to events, hopping on Zoom, and yapping in the group chat like one happy, slightly chaotic family. the imaginary grill is already hot. the lawn chairs are set out. all you have to do is show up with your book.
