Happy Black History Month! For February, I wanted to highlight a few of my recent favourite books by Black Authors. From romance to historical fiction; memoirs to contemporary fiction; my list of recommendations has got you covered!

Category: Adult Romance
This selection includes stories of reconnecting with past love; dealing with grief; and a charming and hilarious fake dating trope. 

Category: Memoirs
This selection includes coming of age stories about identity and race; self discovery, and personal reckonings.

Category: Historical Fiction
This selection includes stories about generational suffering and trauma, resiliency, colonialism; and the continuous fight for freedom.

Category: Contemporary Fiction
This selection includes stories about navigating mental health while Black; complicated family dynamics, and self discovery.

Category: Young Adult
This selection includes stories about young love; existential crisis, and you guessed it, more self discovery!

Category: Race and Feminism
This selection includes essays, discussions and personal reflections around intersectional feminism, collective liberation and systemic racism.
