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

Not all collections hold things you can touch. This one holds worlds that breathe, selves that dissolve, and realities that refuse to hold their shape. These are the fictions that live on the edge of what language can contain - and sometimes just beyond. Admission is free, through entry requires a signed waiver: the curator cannot be held responsible for any transformations that occur upon your exit. We welcome specimen recommendations!

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!

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way!

An essential resource for the American mixed and multiracial experience.

Books where the protagonist is mixed-race/biracial/multiracial or has multiple cultures based on the circumstances of their upbringing. This adds a layer to characters that I find myself drawn to reading about, having mixed heritage myself. Recs welcome!
