Always Me

This July I'll been participating in the next round of the  PopCulture Readathon , created and hosted by  Whitney @ bookswhitme  (with some assistance from  Lo @ Reading Parental ).   The theme is Disney Channel Original Movies.  I haven't seen very many of them, but I liked quite a few of the ones I have.  There are 3 different boards - 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.  I decided to tackle the 2000s board.  Who knows if I'll come close to completing it, but it gives me a lot of options.  Keep reading to check out my TBR: The Color of Friendship - Social Justice Book Written By A Black Author My choice: Angel of Greenwood by Randi Pink - I hadn't heard of this until recently when it arrived at my library.  It sounds like it will be quite a powerful read. Gotta Kick It Up - Latinx Centered YA My choice: Sanctuary by Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher - I've been eyeing this at my library.  It sounds like it will be a great dystopian novel. Double Teamed - Book Starring Twins My c

 Happy Sunday Funday everyone! Today, I'm featuring my TBR for TrekAThon which will run for the entire month of July and is hosted by Louise @ Foxes and Fairytales .  As you probably guessed, it's Star Trek themed, particularly the Original Series.  You can follow the Twitter account  here  and share updates by using the hashtag  here .  Anyway, this is the story: You have been assigned to the USS Enterprise. With the Senior crew occupied on a dangerous away mission, you have been given control of the ship. It should be quiet and uneventful.

Without Kirk, Spock or the other experienced staff to decide a course of action, it’s up to you to make the best of it. Ten alien races stand in conflict with each other and with the Enterprise.
