I’d like to dedicate this month to reading more books by Black authors and want to hear your suggestions! I have recently gotten into Toni Morrison and loved The Bluest Eye. Any other suggestions? Fiction or non fiction, doesn’t matter!

Penthesilea: Rise of an Amazon. New author.
Love Colson Whitehead, SA Cosby, Ta-Nehisi Coates
James by Percival Everett is one of the best books I read last year.
Hunger by Roxane Gay is a memoir that lays bare her truths bravely and without flinching.
An Untamed State by Roxane Gay is fiction about a Haitian American kidnapped in Haiti and is an excellent read.
The Sellout by Paul Beatty is an absolutely brilliant and a Booker award winner.
James McBride (Heaven and Earth Grocery Store), Jesmyn Ward (Sing Unburied Sing), James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Octavia Butler, Colson Whitehead
Nonfiction – Caste, Isabel Wilkerson; Ibram X Kendi.
Don’t stop at just a month! There’s so much richness.
