Some of my classmates and I put together a list of books by people of colour and books to educate ourselves about the experiences of people of colour. I am pinning it here so we have access to it and can add to it.

@AndiJaneway90 @sacha_coward I got mine at store 104 in Rochester https://t.co/BLlPx9u0JR there was at least one other signed copy when I was there.

@sacha_coward are we still posting photos of us buying your book?

@stangleskid My dad went to high school with someone named Richard Head

@DrFrancesRyan We called that sleepy face in my house and it is highly regarded

@SomaKazima My former roommate was once told that it must be quiet living with a deaf person (me). Pretty sure she's still laughing 15 years later

@chloeikennedy I work a job that means my photo is occasionally in the local press. I'm legit wearing the same outfit every time 🤣

@sacha_coward I don't have any Pokémon cards, but my mom has some good grasshopper catching jars.

@Luiseach On the flip side, I was formula fed and my mom talks about how surprised she was that my poo had no smell. Babies are all different 🤷

@kwoade She knows

@KevinMcKenna Hello, we emailed three weeks ago and haven't heard anything back.

[Sarah Trim-West @TrimSarah]

@_SockDog Poppy also got a bath. She doesn't understand why people take such offence at her smell.

@oldenoughtosay My mama taught me to curse

[Sarah Trim-West @TrimSarah]

@oldenoughtosay Just realised I used the wrong brake 🤦

[Sarah Trim-West @TrimSarah]

@oldenoughtosay I first learned to drive in Houston, Texas. Automatic. I never used to use the hand break. But then I moved to Essex, learned to drive a manual, and now I always use the hand break.

@Sally_writes My husband excitedly showed me a bag we bought me saying, "It's purple!! Purple is your favourite colour!!" Reader, it was hot pink. And that's how we found out my husband is colourblind.

@TheMamasaurus People will look at my obviously Italian mom and wonder why I'm ginger. Their minds are blown when they find out that my grandfather was ginger. DNA is more than your immediate parents 🤦

@MrsRieB We have a surplus in our family 😅 almost all of them our known by nicknames. In fact I once went to pick my cousin up from work and was really confused when someone called her Marie. "Who the hell is Marie??? Oh..."
