So…. I really like romance novels…can you tell?
GUYS. This book is soooo hot and I LOVE a plus size Black love interest. Plus as a member of the “lovin a white man” club, this book felt like a loveable fantasy
American Royalty #1 - Tracey Livesay
A football player, a personal trainer, a fake romance that turns real so fast your head spins? SIgn me up! So cute so fun so hot.
The Dating Playbook (The Boyfriend Project, #2) by Farrah Rochon
A single mom with chronic pain and a man she just can't seem to forget. It was a summer romance years ago and now he's in her bed?! Ughh my heart <3
Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
A preachers daughter vaginismus… huh ok! We need the representation because sex isn't always perfect or glamorous but it's real and special and normal.
Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl by Joya Goffney
Relationships are messy… and sometimes they need a little extra help. But the part where the therapist said not to have sex for a week and then they became irresistible to each other…. extremely hot.
Love Her or Lose Her (Hot & Hammered, #2) by Tessa Bailey
Video games should do diversity right! And if she has to fall in love with the game developer then uh… what were we talking about? Enemies to lovers with video game politics on the side.
Game On by Seressia Glass
This prince is sexy and this girl is HOT and sometimes you accidentally kiss in an alleyway so now you have to fake an engagement. Accidents happen! Don't read with your parents around ;)
The Princess Trap (The Midnight Heat Collection, #1) by Talia Hibbert
Language barriers and neurodivergence have nothing on a relationship like this. Let yourself feel and fall in love. Not only for a better life, but for yourself.
The Bride Test (The Kiss Quotient, #2) by Helen Hoang
This book is hilarious and I can't wait to read more of them. Guys reading romance novels in secret to learn how to treat their wives and girlfriends better? Adorable and silly! The things men do lol
The Bromance Book Club
The world might make you not believe in love. But a simple dance class changed it all. A sweet romance that'll throw your heart on a rollar coaster. But that's what love is
Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon
Angie Thomas🖤
Love a black girl from infinity to infinity
My favorite book to this day! I've read it almost a hundred times and it was the first book where I felt seen as a black girl
The Hate U Give - Angie Thomas
Angie Thomas you have my heart! This book was so powerful in so many ways. In its literacy, it's view on gang violence. Incredible

oooo there is something in the water! Gosh this series, this family, I feel like I am apart of it.

The second book in her trilogy means so much to me. I aspire to be as strong as Tabitha

This book is sooo sexy! I adored it, like a movie star girlie and a behind the scenes man makes me kick my feet and giggle

HEART SHATTERING WRENCHING EVEN
Be warned… your heart will shatter in a million pieces. I'm so distraught you have no idea. Like I know it says it on the cover but this book makes you believe so hard that these two people will survive.
They Both Die at the End (Series, 1)
Ok, I was more prepared for this one… but it still broke my heart! Would you want to know the day you die??? Nah I'm good
The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera
Classics🌾
Yeah, I'm into the classics
I love the book. I love the 1980s movie. I love the musical. I slightly love the movie musical less but that's to be expected. This book is absolutely incredible. I could write you a hundred essays over it.
The Color Purple: Alice Walker - Books
You don't understand, this guy just made himself as pale as freakishly possible and it turned him invisible! Like what?! Insane, I'm obsessed
The Invisible Man (1933)
Fantasy🪄
Lets go on a magical adventure
Dude, come on! Black mermaids! Little me is losing her mind right now. African stories that say enslaved people who jumped into the sea become Mami Wata or basically mermaids. It's sad but magical
Skin of the Sea #1
A social worker visiting an orphange of kids with magical abilities… adorable right? As long as these kids aren't as dangerous as the world thinks. Nah they are still adorable
The House in the Cerulean Sea (Cerulean Chronicles, #1) by T.J. Klune

I can name a couple people who should read this book. This black experience isn't a costume. It's brutal and beutiful and you may want my rhythm but you can NOT handle my blues. Read this

A poetry book you will dive deep into. Watch as your feeling flow into words and your experiences become stanzas.
