I personally love literature which contains Black woman who have common sense don’t you?
okay if you look past the third book i absolutely adored this series
Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orisha 1)
hello this is such an accurate depiction of what it feels like to be black in a white dominated position i love this so much, packed with action romance and big reality checks
The Legendborn Cycle Series by Tracy Deonn

Skin of the Sea #1 - Natasha Bowen
ofc we gotta get the snow white rendition in a sci fi world where she’s just a little cuckoo
Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4) by Marissa Meyer
i literally fall for any academic book tbh
Chasing River - Sakala, M.C: Books

Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
This book gives raw and real insight on what it is like to fall in love as a teenager, and to take responsiblity for having a kid while still being a kid. It has very relatable character dynamics and really broadened my perspective while reading.
With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
This book is another coming of age story but is told in a nearly poetic way. Though the main character makes mistakes while struggling to find identity, it's a genuine feel good book for young Black girls.
