96 Books Sharing the Joy, Love, and Adventures of Black Lives

While books about anti-racism are trending on Goodreads and dominating the bestseller lists right now, some of our favorite Black authors are also inspiring us to broaden our reading. Bestselling YA author Nic Stone recently shared on Instagram:“So while you’re reading those books about racism, please also read books about explicitly black people—especially black kids—just being human. Doing things humans are allowed to do in our imaginations: falling in love, dealing with illness, navigating time travel, questioning other aspects of their identities, saving their country, fighting with their parents.” Bestselling romance author Jasmine Guillory is also encouraging readers to explore more books:“Racism is not the only thing to know about what it means to be Black. Our joys, our sorrows, our love, our grief, our struggles to fit in, our families, our accomplishments and our triumphs—these things also matter. Black children matter, and not only the ones killed before their time...To recognize Black lives as ones to celebrate, empathize with and care about, here’s your antiracism work: read more fiction by and about Black people,” she wrote in an essay in TIME. We’re here to help. We did a deep dive into some of the most popular genres on Goodreads to showcase highly rated books by Black authors you may have missed. You’ll find love stories, battles between good and evil, and lessons in leadership—sometimes all in one book.
