Caribbean and diasporic novels, plays, poetry, and non-fiction books.

the us will be excluded from this list as I will make one for the 50 states!

This list is based on the book by Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne, and Kadija Sesay (This is the Canon: Decolonize Your Bookshelves in 50 Books)

As the title suggests, the book aims to broaden readers’ horizons. The list contains works by non-white, mostly female authors.

I tried to find the latest version (2026).

the complicated inheritance of being someone's daughter. maternal wounds, generational trauma, inherited neuroses, impossible expectations, and the many ways love can leave a mark. mothers we love, resent, misunderstand, and spend a lifetime trying to figure out. daughters caught between becoming their mothers, disappointing them, and figuring out who they are without them. // some family issues require a little more than a family group chat.

— suggestions always welcome!

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Inspired by the NFL Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which starred Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio as the musical headliner here is a collection of books to accompany the rich history, culture, and messaging artfully displayed by Bad Bunny.

Sadly some countries don’t have many books by women published in English easily available. I’m putting books where a country doesn’t have enough books available to make its own list here. This will also include where there is basically only one authors books available as I want each counties list to have some variety. I will try to include which countries each book is for in the comments

I really enjoy Malissa's bookish vlogs on Youtube and got a lot of good recommendations from her, so here's a list of her favourites. Will update as I find more!
