Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish and is now run by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week she will post a new Top Ten list . Everyone is welcome to join. This week’s topic is:
Books I Was Assigned to Read in School
All of these are from high school except the last two. Beowulf was from college my freshman semester. And Invisible Man was from my African American Lit course I took while in college too. (If this one doesn’t show you how white school assignments were, IDK what will. And if your first thought is, “BUT NIKKI YOU HAVE INVISIBLE MAN ON THIS LIST TOO!” Think about why it didn’t show up until college when I was in a course that ONLY read books by and about Black people.)
What about you? Have you read any of these? Did you read them in school too? Let me know in the comments!
I blanked out on a few of these but am remembering I read them too! I can’t remember if I read The Scarlet Letter or not and I am pretty sure I read Beowulf somewhere down the line as well!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
