Classic works of literature with Catholic themes or authors

A non-exhaustive list of books from African authors to explore the richness of this literature / in english or in french

Literally just books with colors in the title. Fictional books only at this point in time.

I love a good historical fiction novel, and sometimes the ones based on a real event, person, or disaster really bring out those human emotions we deserve to simmer in for a bit. From heartache and heroism to life and loss, these novels take the reader on a journey and lead them through all sorts of emotions along the way. More novels will be added to this list as I read them, and I am always on the look out for more historical fiction recommendations.

Books that have a color in the title

Throwback to when my English teacher gave us a list of all the books that have appeared on the ap exam and told us to pick one to read…hopefully I’ll make better choices this time

(List currently only has top 20 books with most appearances and books with authors last names starting with A)

books highlighting culture, identity, and diversity that shape the human experience

This is a list with books with at least one color in the title, no matter the genre.
