It’s a little late in the month, but I did want to share some of my favorite books by Black Authors for Black History Month. In an attempt to keep the list manageable, I only included one book per author and kept it to books I rated 4 or 5 stars. There is a mix of genres and age groups, as well as both fiction and nonfiction.
