Big vibes and big hair cover art books. (It's not a f*ckin 'cloud bob' Vogue).

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

an engaging collection that captures the depth and diversity of African storytelling, blending tradition, history, and modern life through powerful voices.

Literary and contemporary fiction with Black FMCs that will make your heart break into a million pieces and then knit itself back together (hopefully). Specifically wanted to curate books that all also come with tough topics and hefty doses of warnings for major possible triggers. Check the comments for specific warnings tagged to individual books (mostly major stuff, recommend doing some research before diving in if there are other things you don't want to read about no matter how minor).

Romance books featuring Black and African FMCs. Because every queen deserves to see herself in a love story. Fell free to suggest recs! ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
