Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books On My Summer TBR, but I'm doing something completely different again this week. Instead I'm featuring some of New and Recent Releases From African-American Authors On My TBR. Given everything that's been going on around the world and in our own backyards, I thought I could try to spread some positivity - it's the least I can do to be a good ally to try to amplify voices that should be heard. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title:
Have you read any of these? Are any of these on you TBR? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below! Stay healthy and safe everyone.
Great list! I'm currently reading one of N.K. Jemisin's earlier titles, The Inheritance trilogy, and am loving it so far! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteI love that cover to The Kingdom of Back, it's absolutely gorgeous! Happy reading :)
My TTT
I need to read The Inheritance Trilogy - it looks so good!
DeleteAdeyemi and Jemisin are two authors I absolutely want to try.
ReplyDeleteThey are outstanding. I hope you'll like them!
DeleteSmash It! by Francina Simone is one that I am really looking forward to. She makes some really fantastic bookish content on YouTube as well. I've heard great things about Rage of Dragons, it's one I hope to get to soon.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Children of Virtue and Vengeance, I hope you do too.
My TTT: Marie @ Pages to Explore
I've got my eye on that one. I'll have to look up her stuff on YouTube. :)
DeleteTristan Strong had a lot of good reviews last year. This a list I need to explore fuller. Thank you. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI've going to be listening to it on audiobook very soon- it sounds like it will be fantastic.
DeleteI'm currently almost halfway through Deathless Divide (and it's a chonky book) and I'm maybe enjoying it even more than the first one. Also I didn't realise there was a Shuri novel?! I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open for that!
ReplyDeleteMy Summer TBR.
Good to know about Deathless Divide! It's an MG book and it looks pretty cool.
DeleteI am really looking forward to Clap When You Land.
ReplyDeleteMy audiobook hold on it can't come in soon enough. :)

DeleteGreat list! I'm so excited for Deathless Divide, I'm hoping to finally pick it up this month. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed we both will, Jess. :)
DeleteRiver of Royal Blood and Songs of Wraith and Ruin are both on my TBR. I was kind of sad that CVV fell into middle book syndrome territory for me because I loved CBB so much but I'm hoping the third book will be better!
