An incredible follow up to Fablehouse, with magic, friendship and learning to trust yourself at the heart👇🏽 📚Fablehouse Heart of Fire by EL Norry @elnorry_writer In this book we return to follow Heather, and the other roamers, at Fablehouse - an orphanage for the mixed race children of Black American GIs and white women after WW2. Heather and her friends are exploring their growing magical powers that they acquired in the land of the Fae. Heather is also wrestling with controlling her power, her changing friendships with the other roamers and the unsettling feeling that something at Fablehouse isn’t quite right. 🤎 I loved this second installment and it met all my very high expectations having been OBSESSED with the first book. Heather is a wonderful protagonist. Where book 1 was about her learning to trust and open up to others, book 2 is about her learning to trust herself and learning to see her magical powers as something to be embraced rather than feared. This book leans into both what it’s like to grow up in care, and what it’s like to be mixed race in the 1950s. The children have to face not only their magical powers but also the villagers othering of them and refusal to accept them into the local community. The adults in the book are also complex and conflicted. Pal, the Black Arthurian Knight, has his own interesting journey to go on. He is a guide and support for the children but is also battling his own demons. It’s a wonderful story with so many interesting themes and layers, great characters and a warm, powerful heart. I just adore EL Norry’s writing and these books are such a joy. 📕Published by @bloomsburychildrens 👍🏽Perfect for ages 8+ #blackauthors #kidlit #middlegradefiction #kidsbooks #diversebooks #diversereads #kidsbookstagram #reading #booksforkids #childrensbook #representationmatters #childrensbookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookreview #bookstagramuk #bookstagrammer #bookworm #diversebooks #diversereads #reading #bookstagramuk #blackbookstagram #childrensbookblogger #childrensbookswelove #mgfiction #mgbooks #mgbookstagrammers #ksreading #mglit #middlegradefiction #blackbritishhistory

I’m just starting this and this snippet from @itsladarrion authors note is so … it’s beautiful and I hope everyone takes the time to read it. “Black boys surely deserve stories filled with magic, wonder, and warm summer rain. Black boys deserve to have their origin stories. Black boys deserve to have the fullness of their power revered. They need to remember that they are magic, that “Blackness is magic.” It’s in the soil of the South. Beyond the Louisiana bayou, resting with the bones of our ancestors that triumphed over the Middle Passage. Where whitewashed Voodoo was called by its sweeter true name and werewolves were not diminished to lowly dogs. Where regal kings of the jungles and vampires were known by their original, melanated faces, that is where the magic is. The magic lingers at the harbor docks in Charleston, South Carolina, and in the bolls of cotton in Georgia, and it blooms in Alabama, a forgotten mecca of magical blackness. Let Black boys hear the cicadas sing their songs to the Alabama sky. Let them feel that syrupy sweat sticking their clothes to their body. Let their stories be filled with the smell of the sweet corn bread and collard greens of their grandma’s cooking. Let the words on the page reveal our young Black boys, who will be sitting at the feet of their grandparents and meet God. Let them spin magic from their fingers. Let them hold stars in their hair. Let Black boys be the alchemists in their stories. Let Black boys be seen. Let them be colored softly. Let them fall in love. Let them have adventures. And let Black boys be the heroes of their own stories. More than having magical powers, I want Black boys to find themselves by establishing their roots. I want them to make mistakes and I want them to feel seen, something I so desperately hoped for when I was a youth in Alabama. I want them to unlock a world that tells them they can choose who they want to be. A world that tells them they deserve to be centered and loved, whether they decide to wield a magical sword, astral-project to another dimension, or find love in a whirlwind romance. When Black boys find magic, they find themselves. “

Sistah Girls, for the month of May we are reading 𝙏𝙤 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙣 by @evelynlatrice 🤗 Hit the link in our bio to start reading and make sure to join us on the 19th for a live book discussion with our host @lissamarie.s 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: 𝙄𝙛 𝙄’𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙮! You ever felt like someone was made for you? Crafted in your image the same way Eve was for Adam? 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫, knew 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐲 was made for him. First, in the form of a best friend— the female version of the boy he loved like a brother. But as time moved forward, something else bloomed— something that blurred the lines of love and lover. It was so magnetic, nothing could keep them apart. Except life. And Luna’s need to protect Javen. After the death of her twin, Luna, is left to mother her siblings alone. Barely eighteen, she spends her days making things better for those around her. She’s the fixer— the one you go to when everything seems to go wrong. But who does she seek out when life becomes too much? As if her call finally gets through the prayer line, life becomes easier thanks to an inheritance from a father she never knew. And when life is better for Luna, she makes sure she brings everyone with her. And so the journey begins. To The Moon, is a coming of age tale centered around poverty and black love. It meets somewhere in the middle of black girl magic and black boy joy. #sistahgirlsbookclub #blackauthors #blackliterature #blackindieauthors #blackbookclubs #wellreadblackgirl #bookstagram #blackbookstagram

NEW BOOK RELEASE ALERT By Wanda Morris. Coming June 18th!! Deena Wood’s life has fallen apart in the aftermath of losing her beloved mother, her marriage, and her prestigious job at an Atlanta law firm. She needs what the Geechee people of coastal Georgia call a “dayclean,” a fresh start. She returns to her childhood home in Brunswick, Georgia, to heal. But her return is anything but the respite she thought it might be. To make peace with all her loss, she often drives through the city. One day, she unwittingly finds herself on the oceanfront property of a loner widower who is fighting to keep land that has been in his family since the end of the Civil War. He threatens her and warns her to never return. But shortly after, he disappears, and his very expensive property is quickly put up for sale. Curious about what has happened to the man, Deena digs into his disappearance and finds a family legacy at risk. What starts out as a bit of curious snooping, turns into a deadly game of illegal land grabs and property redevelopment in poor and rural communities with dark and powerful forces at work. Without realizing it, Deena finds herself caught up in a nightmarish scheme that threatens her community and her family. She’ll need help and finds it in a close but unlikely source because she knows she must do whatever it takes to stop the sinister forces at play before she becomes their n #BlackAuthors #Geechee #BookClub #BookClubPick

💓Book Spotlight💓 Yesterday was New Book Tuesday and I ran quite fast to grab this one for my shelf. I’ve been following the author @goldinggirl617 and she’s dropping nuggets that I feel were pertinent to me and my experiences as a black woman, so I had to find out more. I finished the 1st essay entitled: Black Girl Math, and well y’all, might want to read this one too because it didn’t disappoint. In fact while at the bookstore I had to do a little Black Girl Math myself🫣 I won’t put it here (DM I’ll share 👌🏽) but I will say I was seen and heard so that math =2🙌🏽 and like one of the lines from the essays says” The name Shenequa has weight. It’s eight letters that require your lips and tongue to work.” Y ‘all might have to start putting in that work and call me by my government name, the name my mama🪽💓 gave me Celestine put some respect on that 👏🏽and definitely get this book!!! 💓Title:A Black Girl in the Middle esssys on (allegedly) figuring it all out 🤎Author: Shenequa Golding ❤️Description: Shenequa Golding doesn’t aim to speak for all black women. As an adult, Shenequa owns who she is, but growing up, she found herself begin “kind of in the middle,” fluctuating between not being the fly girl, the athlete, or the overachiever: In her debut collection, A Black Girl in the Middle: Essays on (Allegedly) Figuring It All Out, Shaneka taps into life’s wins and losses, representing the middle ground for girls and women. #ablackgirlinthemiddle #bookspotlight #nonfictionbooks #blackauthors #20bookbyblackwomen #essays

📖 The Partner Plot by Kristina Forest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔥🔥 Idek what to say about this one because I literally have no remarks whatsoever. Violet and Xavier were high school sweethearts (with matching tattoos) and there is probably nothing I like more than second chance! Except for maybe fake dating and this one had that as well (fake married actually but that's even better). This was a slow burn and they were sweet, adorably in love and as grown-ups, after some reluctance, got much better at communicating their feelings and found their way to each other. I loved how important Violet's job was to her and how it never suffered and she never had to change herself or her aspirations to be with Xavier. And his fears of not being enough for her were understandable but I loved how he worked through it all. It was just so wholesome! And I read it as audiobook which was also a great experience (the only downside to listening to a book is the lack of quotes so here have some pretty aesthetic instead) 💖💖💖 #bipocauthor #bipocromance #blacklove #blackromance #blackauthors #bookrecommendations #romancereadersofinstagram #bookreview #readersofig #books #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #romancebooks #romance #bookishcontent #bookishaesthetic #secondchance

💕 Kennedy Ryan Appreciation 💕 In January, I read Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan and now I’m obsessed with this series! I normally lean more towards rom-coms when choosing romance books, but this series is more of a cross between women’s fiction and romance. Also I’m so excited for this to become a TV series in the near future!! Brief Praise for This Could be Us: I never posted my full review, but Soledad’s story in the second installment was an absolute blast. As an accountant, I loved that the MMC was also an accountant (and actually cool, obvi). It was so nice seeing Soledad find her happy ending with a man who actually appreciates her and treats her right (and doesn’t embezzle money 👀). Also, there are very few popular books that feature a 40ish couple with kids and I love that Ryan made this a focus for the series. Auction Information: You can currently bid on a signed and personalized set of the Skyland series for the @gazabookauction ! I’ll post the link in my stories, but I highly recommend checking it out (and scrolling through all the other listings if you haven’t already).

✨ MEET THE CHARACTERS ✨ COMING SOON 🩷 A Dallas Summer with A Boss 🩷 Kadeem and Carmen had the perfect relationship until they didn’t. Five years ago, he chose the streets, and she chose to leave Dallas and do something different with her life. This summer, Carmen is back in Dallas to help take care of her grandmother and run away from the drama that awaits her at home. While she’s back home visiting, she’ll quickly learn that old feelings never really die; they just fade into the background until you’re ready to address them again. Now that Kadeem is the boss of the Dallas streets, he has everything he’s ever wanted, but someone to share his success with. He doesn’t take running into Carmen as a coincidence, and he’s willing to do just about anything to get her back. Can Kadeem and Carmen finally get to their happily ever after, or do some things never really change? #blackgirlsreadtoo #blackgirlswhoread #blacklove #blackromance #blackromancereads #blackromancereader #blackauthors #khemistrij #authorkhemistrij #khemistrijbooks #authorkhemistrijbooks #newreleasecomingsoon #bookreleasecomingsoon #bookreleasecomingsoon #bookcomingsoon #bookreleasecountdown #comingsoon #upcomingbookrelease #bookrelease #booksbooksbooks

Two hearts, one love story. Niko and Lore's unexpected journey to forever starts 5/17! 💍🤎 Pre-Order - https://bit.ly/arrangedheartsseries Allure /əˈlo͝or/: the power to entice or attract through personal charm. In the world of creativity, Lore Reed shines as a beacon of boundless imagination, her sculptures and paintings capturing the essence of emotion and beauty. Raised in a household where freedom and exploration reigned supreme, Lore's carefree spirit knows no bounds. Yet beneath her artistic façade lies a longing for stability and family. With a heart ready to embrace love's allure, Lore sets out on a journey of discovery that promises to redefine her life forever. Across town, Niko Lockwood, a legend on the football field, faces a crossroads as retirement looms and a new career beckons. Amidst the roar of the crowd and the glare of the spotlight, Niko craves the quiet joys of home and family, a longing that propels him toward the doors of Arranged Hearts. However, tensions arise within his family, particularly with his father, a retired football legend who has always exerted control over Niko's life. As Niko navigates this new chapter, he must find the strength to forge his own path and fight for the love he deserves. As they prepare to step into forever, the unknown will cause them to question whether or not they're making the right decision. Yet beneath the surface lies a tantalizing hint of familiarity, a connection that defies explanation and ignites a spark of intrigue. While their love for each other is unwavering, outside forces threaten to tear them apart. As family tensions mount and expectations clash, will Lore and Niko's arranged marriage withstand the storms of doubt and resistance, or will “I do” turn into “I don’t” #BlackRomance #BlackLoveStories #MelaninLove #BlackAuthors #BlackRomanceReads

Have you ever browsed through my website and had any of these three thoughts? 1️⃣ Oh yeah, Tasha published her first book! Let me go buy a copy! 2️⃣ You know, Tasha has a really great sense of style. I wonder where I can buy some of her clothes. 3️⃣ Golly! I love the way Tasha writes and would love to have her write or edit something of mine! (OK, maybe I'm just giving myself a big head here 😂) Well, I created a new page on my site that I call my Multiverse Marketplace! It has the links to my affiliate @bookshop_org page, where you can buy Rocky Crescendo, my @mercari shop where you can buy some of my gently used clothes and other things I don't use anymore, and my @fiverr gigs where I offer writing and editing services. So go check it out. Link is in my bio! . . . #blackauthors #supportblackbusinesses #freelancer #bloggerlifestyle #selfpublishedauthor #lifestyleblogger #writersofinstagram #writerssociety #editingservices #writingservices #shopnow #mymarketplace

The changes are happening constantly, touching everyone, spanning every company, every individual, and even social media such as TikTok. I have been an entrepreneur long enough to know that everything eventually has to transform. We can either adapt or lose and stay in the fight or lose the battle.

✨ My opinion on the women of the New Haven series by J.L Seegars ✨ Now that I finished these 5 books (Release Me review’s coming soon) I wanted to make a post about the women in this series. I had a good time reading about these characters. J.L Seegars is an amazing writer and I love how complex and emotionally real all her characters are. These women made me happy, mad, annoyed, everything, I loved every second of it. 😂 Kristen : she was just annoying. I hated how little self respect she had. Dom didn’t want her so she thought telling Mallory about Dom and Sloane would do something. Girl, you were embarrassing… smh. Mallory : I actually got a beef with her. You know I was all in for her in Parts 1 and 2 but she annoyed the hell outta me in Part 3. Poor Chris had to move heaven and earth for her to come to her senses when he didn’t even do anything wrong! He was a good man Savannah! A good man! Giselle : now this b-tch was just delusional! And miserable! Doing all that for a marriage and a man you didn’t even actually want?! You just lost everybody’s time! Thank God, Karma’s a b-tch too! Sloane : MY GIRL!!! I love her. I was rooting for her, she deserved the best! And that man! And that happy ending! And the world! Sloane for president! Tasha : a very very bad friend. I got beef with Mallory but I’ll always stand by her when it comes to Tasha and her b-tch a-s brother! She’s definitely not smart! Nadia : Oooh my heart hurt for her. I wanted to hug her so bad. I loved her but I can’t lie there were some times I wanted to fight her. Sebastian was heaven sent! And she almost passed on him. Anyway my girl is strong and smart. Love that about her. I’m so grateful to have come across these books! I loved these New Haven people. And these men are *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏾✨ Might do a post about them soon too 😆.

Book Review 📚 Every Black Girl Dances by Candice Y. Johnson “… at some point in our lives, every Black girl dances to someone else’s expectations. It’s about time I choreograph for myself.” This was the perfect quote to describe this entire book! JC, the main character, went on a journey to discover herself! She literally danced her way through her life but it was always someone else playing the music for her! By the end JC created a new dance! I truly felt for JC I honestly wanted to hug her the entire time and at some moments I wanted to shake but even in that I realized she still needed to learn how to dance on her own! Luke was so patient, warm, and kind! I’m glad he really had a chance to talk with JC 🥰 While Hudson 😒 I just wanted to push him down some stairs 🙊 Throughout this book we got to meet so many characters that I just adored!! I love that everyone seemed to play their own music and dance to it in some way! So many lessons were taught and learned truly a 5⭐️! #bookstagram #book #bookreview #blackauthors

My daughter has been asking me to read this. I am so upset that i didn’t read it sooner. This book is a literary masterpiece!! I could visualize every moment. Tomi gave me everything i want in a fantasy read. The world building and storyline aren’t over complicated. Which allows you to fall in love with the characters and become immersed in the tale. I already have book two on hold at the library ❤️ Have you read this book?? If so, did you like it and what can you recommended that’s similar? #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #library #books #blackauthors #childrenofbloodandbone #blackbookstagram
