This book is a must own for all readers! It offers up invaluable information and recommendations for decolonizing your bookshelf. I am so thankful that I received a copy from NetGalley and I will 100% be buying a physical copy of the book as soon as I can! I have already added several books to my TBR and am beyond excited for all of the glorious reading and book discussions in my future!

This is a great reference for anyone who wants to add some international flavour to their reading life. I do have two small complaints, the first being that the plot summaries for each book were much longer than I would have liked. I don't want to know that much about a book when I start it. The second was, that quite a few of the suggested titles are older and will be harder to source. However, despite the criticism, I still really enjoyed this book and got a large list of possible titles that I think I will like.

This is the Canon: Decolonize Your Bookshelves in 50 Books does just what the title suggests. The authors offer up 50 titles to add to “The Canon” of our literature studies by BIPOC and First Nation authors. I believe everyone should have this book on their shelves as a reference guide to broaden the literature we consume for pleasure and academic study. Thank you NetGalley for this digital advance reader copy.
