#ThisisCanLit

I first heard of this when Farzana Doctor tweeted: "New hashtag inspired by talks @ #twucLCP2015: #ThisIsCanLit Recommend a book by a writer from a marginalized group. Check it out! @twuc" And people did. The hashtag was trending on Friday night, and so many great titles were shared.
