A message from the Editor Chloe Mintz:
Hi, everyone.
I would first like to thank all those who have kept up with Well-Read Women. It means so much to me. Secondly, I’d like to announce “WRW-live” is back. (Yes, my schedule’s calmed down enough to allow a semi-authentic book club.)
So, for January and February, we will spotlight the Black community in accordance with Black History Month (which occurs in February). To do so, we will read Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid.
In a review published by NPR, Ilana Masad described Such a Fun Age as “a book that will read, I suspect, quite differently to various audiences — funny to some, deeply uncomfortable and shamefully recognizable to others — but whatever the experience, I urge you to read Such a Fun Age.”
An Instagram Live will be held at the end of February, date TBD. If you’d like to participate in the actual discussion, please out to me via email ([email protected]).
Thank you so much for your continued support of WRW.
Happy reading!
Chloe Mintz
