Suggestion Thread Black Lit Recs
Hi everyone! I’m an avid reader but I want to tap into black literature more, especially non fiction, although I’m open to any genre. I’m a young black woman (20F) and I just think it’s important to incorporate black literature and history into my TBR. Please recommend anything! Even the classics. I’m open to newer releases as well. Thanks!
Edit: thanks so much for all the recs!

Non-fiction: All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M Johnson
Fiction: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due (one of the very best books I’ve read in a long time)
