Top Ten Tuesday: Black Love Romance Novels
I’m doing my first Top 10 Tuesday post. I’m trying to get into taking part in the weekly challenge. This week is a Valentine’s Day theme, so we can choose whatever topic we want that relates to Valentine’s Day in any way, so I decided to share ten books about Black Love.
Different Shades of Black: Reading Bingo
Black People are not a monolith. This challenge is focused on intentionally reading more Black books, whether it be Black characters or authors within different genres.
I’m Reading…The Vanishing Half
The themes in the book are relatable as they were back 40 years ago when the story took place, to now. The overarching theme of the book that I took away was identity. Brit addresses the issues of colorism, Gender identity, and who exactly am I. All the main characters grapple with this existential problem.
I’m Reading Beast
Romance books have gotten me through quarantine. I usually don’t read romance. Many times it’s the typical archetypes and tropes. However, Beast was a welcome distraction and palette cleanser from all the heavy non-fiction books I have been reading.
