What's New? Stacking the Shelves

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Hop on over there to ogle what other bloggers got this week.

For review:
I am attending SLJ Leadership Summit in Baltimore this weekend. Lerner Publisher has a table and we were able to choose one free book from a large selection of titles. 
I chose:

More Than a Game: Race, Gender and Politics in Sports by Matt Doeden. 64 p. Millbrook Press/ Lerner Publishing Group, September, 2019. 9781541540941. 

Publisher synopsis: Sports has never been only about what takes place on the playing field. Author and sports fan Matt Doeden explores past and current controversies including black boxer Jack Johnson’s fight with the “Great White Hope” Tommy Burns, Jackie Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier, Muhammad Ali’s refusal to fight in the Vietnam War, Colin Kaepernick’s protests, #MeToo and the US gymnastics team, and much more. Doeden weaves in information about Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Lives Matter, and other essential background young readers will need. This book is sure to engage everyone interested in sports, history, and civil rights.

They also had a stack of copies of Queer. Much as I was tempted to grab that one, I chose to buy that title as an unlimited access e-book to allow my students to ability to explore without the potential embarrassment of checking out the book or carrying it. I am very excited about the title.

Purchased: Nothing!
