I think I may have heard about X: A Novel on a book podcast, though I can’t tell you which one. If I had to guess, probably Book Riot. Naturally, I was excited to find out that the library had it. I read it over the course of three days. Here’s what I thought, briefly.

#bookaday X: A Novel by Ilyasah Shabazz & Kekla Magoon. I enjoyed this fictionalized account of Malcolm Little's life, but what was most interesting to me was the endnotes that explained how the actual events became fictionalized. #stickynotereviews
