My Library Holds and For Later lists have just grown substantially! You have so many great books on here 💗
Everything Tamara Jerée writes is fantastic!!!! (The Fall That Saved Us, A Wolf Steps in Blood, A Vision of Moonlight, The Flowers I Deserve)
Which one is your favorite?
Love this!!
I love A Song of Wraiths and Ruin and Legendborn!
They're both on there. They're just buried. I'm starting Legendborn now. Just came in!😁
I love this liiiist. ♥️ I don't know how I never glt to it until now. Bookmarking it! 🔖
For someone more familiar with high and epic fantasy, and less sci-fi, where do you recommend to start?
I love the list ♥️ and thank you for making it I have read some of these. While I like Rivers Solomon, their book is heavy read and ending made me asking for a sequel and more. Love Moniques work and it is thought provoking. Also, N.E Davenports work is just brilliant. Also, can I suggest Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi (fantasy and historical fiction) and Sunspot Jungle by N.K. Jemisin for the list? There is a book called "The Teller of Secrets" by Bisi Adjapon but it falls under historical fiction.
Added. I think the last one would be a good match for a different list I have. Will add it there.
Oh cool! Yeah! I started following you after I saw you have clubbed and sorted work of Black authors. Thank you for doing it. Appreciate you for making the list.
Thank you for making this list. Bookmarking it ♥️
Have you heard about Transparent City by Ondjaki Ondjaki? It might fit your list, 🤗
Added!
This list is going to be my happy place. Thank you!!
Glad to hear it! Please keep me updated on any of the ones you read because I want to make more headway in this list too 🙌🏽
This would be an awesome quest!
I don't know how I missed this list! I'm so glad it was on the featured emoji list!
