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!

A few lovely books written by Black women spanning every genre!

"My courage always arises with every attempt to intimidate me"

Books with black people in it (mostly as the mains characters)

Both Fiction and Non fiction books.

Reading list

This list contains books that combine multiple POV with multiple timelines. In some books, the characters live in different eras. In other books the story follows multiple characters seen across shifting moments in their lives. If you love stories that jump between voices and timeframes, then this list is for you!

we love a narrative strategy that shows how awful othering is. adding more as they come to me!
