Recs if you like Nightcrawling...

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!

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.

This list will be deleted in a few days. Go follow the masterlist by @yarnandbooks instead! :)

Fiction, memoirs, and nonfiction set in (or at least partially) the San Francisco Bay Area.

reading diversely is not a trend. it’s the bare minimum. and if your shelves don’t reflect that, you’re missing out.

Books where the main character is black and part of the lgbt community! A lot of these came from recommendations on a post I made here, thank you to everyone who replied! And feel free to recommend more! :)

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

Books that got even better when they started smoking (best served with your own buzz)!

A collection of emotional books with a wide range of genres, themes, plot, etc. Make sure to check TW, these books can be intense. I personally love to sob my eyes out while reading, so if you do too, check if any of these books appeal to your tastes.
