Black History Month Book Recommendations!

Hello friends!

Today I am coming to you with a recommendations list. Now, I know I am a tiny bit late in posting this list considering we are already almost half way through February, but you know what, Black authors should be read and celebrated all year round, so it doesn’t really matter.

As always I only include books I have read and enjoyed (some more, some less but still they’re all 3 stars and above). I have also divided the list in genres, and that’s it for the prologue!

Hope you get to find a new book to add to your TBR and read, either this month or the following ones. Let’s get to it!
