I own a copy of Firebird and I can't wait to read it. I featured WINGS several years ago, I believe, and was truly drawn to its power and beauty. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-994955990581165892015-03-17T00:12:56.410-04:002015-03-17T00:12:56.410-04:00The Crossover made its rounds in my house.

I cannot get enough books about art, and I'm always looking for books about African-American achievements that aren't solely focused on slavery or civil rights to share with my son (who gets very tired of having his only experience in school of learning about African-Americans focus on slavery, civil rights). And thanks for the reminder about Wings. I meant to add that to my list after reading Linda's post and then forgot. I'll fix that right now. (Heck, might as well add that one to my Amazon cart too, right??)Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-36746985347495653622015-03-16T11:56:30.314-04:002015-03-16T11:56:30.314-04:00Yep, this could be an expensive post to read.
