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

Books where memories are lost, gained, preserved, encountered, or otherwise altered through means that are not of this world. Work in progress, suggestions always welcome!

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!

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

Is it fantasy? Horror? Magical realism? Sci-fi? Litfic? It's best not to ask questions.

Books to read if you enjoyed the movie "Sinners", and would like more culturally rich black and poc stories full of (white) things going bump in the night, to the tune of the saxophones growing ever louder.

A compilation of the books mentioned in The Last Page by Katie Holt. The story is set in a bookstore and each chapter starts with a staff pick recommendation from one of the employees there. Gonna be relying on this for the Bookception prompt of HRCYED 3.0

I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2016-2020.

There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:

• Audiobook of the year
• Autobiography/Memoir
• Erotica
• Spanish
• Fantasy
• Fiction
• History/Biography
• Humor
• Horror
• Literary Fiction
• Classics
• Middle Grade
• Mystery
• Nonfiction
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Short Stories/Collections
• Thriller/Suspense
• YA/Teens
• Paranormal

Novels that give a slice of life, a look into love, or just generally give you a raw feeling in your heart when reading.

Fiction and nonfiction that explores the complex landscape of the US across history and in the now. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Books I was assigned in various classes in high school and college!

Either you will feel a cozy escape or a chilling thriller. You'll be fine!..I think.
