I will be adding all of those Authors. Thank you. I enjoy reading an Authors catalog because you get to see how their writing style may have changed and what you can learn for it.
I am currently in a reading slump but I have read all of Octavia Butler's work. Fantastic! Audre Lorde "Your silence will not protect you" Zami has been on ny tbr for yrs. I plan to make it happen this year. William Melvin Kelly thanks for the introduction. I just purchased "A Different Drummer". I would also suggest "The Man Who Cried I Am" by John A. Williams. The Black Classics are wonderful.
James B is definitely an author I will begin to read his work 2025. I loved the show Kindred so I do want to read that. James was SO GOOD omg I did Not expect to love it 5⭐️ read
Hey friend if you want to add a black male author who wrote a book that is dark, human, powerful but twisted read Hal Bennett's The Lord of Dark Places. To this day it is my favorite book.
related so much to the having intentions but also being mood reader so it's hard to keep promises lol
lol sooooo hard because my intentions are so well and then boom, three new books i want to read release.
