Recs if you like Riot Baby...

Representations of the Black experience through fantasy, science fiction, and speculative fiction. Recommendations welcome!

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

this is your reminder to read books by Black authors all month, all year, every year— not just during Black History Month. it’s crucially important to be able to diversify your reading and your bookshelves. expand your mind, your perspectives, your knowledge, and your taste. if you don’t know where to start, here are some recommendations!

africanfuturism & afrofuturism see african and african-diasporic writers (respectively) explore Black culture, history, mythology and power through new futures, technologies, and speculative imaginings. these books offer a glimpse into afrofuturist & africanfuturist worlds.

me + sake on a Saturday night = this list lol idk what is happening or even what the requirements are, it's just a vibe? u kno?? 💖💖💖

The list of books which are science fiction but not exactly.

The "science" part is not that important. Technology, space ships or how to pursue the time travel - obsolete. Truly important are the questions about the human condition.

Hopefully, I'll expand it with time.

Open for recommendations😊
