Black Literature

[close] Welcome to Booked & Black–your Black book safe haven, celebrating all things Black-centered! We are unlike any other book club you’ve experienced because over here, we put so much love, attention, and care into every single aspect of this club. Down to its members, we want this book club to be the most personable one you’ve ever experienced. So no being left on read or feelings of shyness because over here, you will feel and be included. As lovers of reading, we wanted to create a safe, but fun space for all Black queens, kings, and sweet things to come in and find community within. We’ll read genres like romance, mystery thriller, horror, even fantasy, sci-fi and realistic fiction! This Book Club is run by admins Lala and UrBookBoo! If you have any questions, feel free to send us a DM through our IG account @booked_black. We can’t wait to read with you! See ya there!

[close] This is a place for INDIE ONLY Black book recs and book chats for and with Black people. If you do not want to be a part of these discussions, please do not join. We have good vibes over here. Also, there is a difference between bashing a book/author and critiquing a book/author. Please know the difference. Your faves may not be someone else's faves.

[close] For people who want to suggest, read and talk about some good fantasy books with black people as the main character and not the side kick!

[close] This book forum is for parents who are raising children to love themselves and others. We feature support for parents raising African American and Black children, which includes parents of biracial children and adoptive parents of any ethnicity. There will be book recommendations to support parents and their children. As an educator, author, editor, and parent, I would love to connect with other parents who see the need for imparting solid literacy skills to their pre-school, kindergarten, early readers, emerging readers, and reluctant readers. From social emotional learning (SEL) to building literacy skills to developing academic excellence, our members believe books are a gateway to understanding the world around us and ourselves. As the saying goes, "Readers are leaders!"
