Recs if you like Bones to the Wind (A Forging of Age, #1)...

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

PLEASE drop your recs!! This is a work in progress and I'm not an expert, just upset that i couldnt find any preexisting pagebound lists highlighting indie books by Black authors

books by black authors and/or with black characters

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

My favourite books or from my TBR by BIPOC authors in a range of different genres (though I primarily read fantasy and romance) (only first book for a series added, unless not directly linked)

Fantasy, Romantasy, Science Fiction, and Speculative Fiction books written by authors of the diaspora

Honestly shocked that this list hasn't been made already?? I'm not an expert by any means, just an enthusiast. Focusing primarily on second world & portal fantasy for this list!

Independent authors with fantastic books!
