I nominate my new book BLACK -

In August 1831, Nat Turner leads a group of escaped slaves in a rebellion that rocks the South. The revolt comes to a quick and violent end. In November, Nat is publicly hanged, and as his body swings, a false sense of peace washes over Jerusalem, Virginia.


Unbeknownst to the world, on the day Nat Turner dies, his son, Nat Hope Turner, is born. Reared by Big Mama on the Turner plantation, young Nat’s identity is kept secret to keep him safe. As Nat grows to manhood, he leads his own uprising against slavery and is forever after known as Black.


Fate—by way of Big Mama—leads Black to rescue a young female slave, Sunday, before the plantation owner can sell her. Black has lived for liberty until the day he comes face to face with the alluring Sunday. As the two embark on a sexually charged ride toward love and freedom, they set off a chain of events that forces Black to risk his own liberty for hers.


Black shares the appealing tale of a passionate love between a man and a woman bound together to change their destiny.

Mr. and Mrs. Doctor. The author seems to have had several short stories published but this is her first novel.

It's about two Nigerian immigrants who settle in the US and are hiding a secret. Then his first wife shows up, lol. I haven't read it but it looked interesting.

Any other nominations??

This book is on my very short tbr list.
Everyone I know who has read this has really enjoyed and some were actually surprised how much they liked the story.

Too many books so little time.

This book is also on my summer list as I am suppose to be reading speculative fiction by authors of color this summer.

While this was not necessarily a "wow" book for me - this book would make a good discussion book because of the issues/themes that most people are familiar with.

It reads quickly and the writing is solid.

It has been nominated for several awards and has also received good industry press.

Very lyrical poetic language (which I like).

I ll second that nomination

Ok last chance to nominate a new author. I will post the poll later today.

Queen Sugar by Natalie Baszile.

Not sure if this one qualifies because it was published in 2014, but it's her only book
