I'll be in New York passing out buttons at BEA so we might have some new visitors this week. If you're new to White Readers Meet Black Authors, welcome! Please stay and have a look around. (Usually, I post every Tuesday.) There are plenty of recommendations for good books by black authors, reasons why everybody should read books by black authors, and discussions about what constitutes a "black book".
Coming up: Father's Day book recommendations.
The holiday National Buy a Book by a Black Author and Give it to Somebody Not Black Month is in December, and yes, we will be celebrating again this year.
There's even video!

Happy Birthday! Hope you get to meet a lot of great new people at the convention...I wish I could go too....
(I am quite the lurker around here, but I wanted to wish you a happy B-day and let you know that I love your posts.)
Happy Birthday Carleen!
Happy Birthday! Hope you've having a great time at BEA. Thanks for all you do with keeping up this site and discussion!
Happy Birthday, Carleen! I have been a lurker, too. I also found the interview with L.A. Banks pretty interesting. I also had the opportunity to interview her for the Books of Soul website. Check it out at http://booksofsoul.com/2008/11/interview-with-leslie-banks/
May 26 is my birthday, too! I'm glad I was able to catch your panel at BEA this year. Keep up the good work you do. It was my first time attending the conference and was a little taken aback at how segregated the event seemed. What are your thoughts?
