The other day I was catching up on some of my favorite YouTube channels when I stumbled across several #FEMMEUARY videos from a few booktubers. One of the things I committed to doing this year was reading more books by women authors. February also happens to be Black History month in the states. This month is the perfect time to dive into my TBR list of books authored by women of color.
This list is also fairly ambitious for me,sadly, I haven't read this many books in a month in a very long time!
Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler
No One is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson
The only author on this list I'm familiar with is Zadie Smith. I read White Teeth years ago when it was originally published. I have seen Octavia Butler mentioned more frequently in light of today's political climate. The others are new to me authors. I've never been more excited to dive into a pile of books! Feel free to join me and add some books by WOC authors to reading list this month.
Here are two of my favorites discussing their plans for reading this month.
