In my former life perhaps, I ran a bookstore. So now nearly every chance I get, I pull together some kind of book fair. The culminating event for our "Language Arts and Leadership" conference provided me with yet another opportunity to showcase and distribute books.
The high school students at the event got an opportunity to peruse and select books of their choice. The main books at this year's event were:
• Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi CoatesI also included a few photograph books and comic books:
