4.5 Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson: Review and Discussion
Welcome back to The Community Library! The end of another month is upon us, so what did you all think of February’s book club pick, Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson? I loved it – such a powerful story about music, fame and power. In this episode I discuss my thoughts, and I also talk about some of the discussion topics you suggested on Instagram!
Our book club pick for March is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (vol. 1 only). This is a YA graphic novel about the author’s experience growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. I’ll be discussing this on the 28th of March with my good friend (and graphic-novel-lover) Maija. I hope you read along with us!
