I love Priscilla Shirer. I definitely need to read more of her books! I love that you added faith based books to these recs.

[@Onemorebookpodcast.]

So many great recommendations & am happy that the only 2 Fantasy books that I have ever read were part of this list 🙌🏾.

[@shelleys.corner]

That's great 🥰

[@bitterrootsimmer]

I’m a romance girlie myself , happy to see you included some in your recommendations. Can’t wait to read them.

[@shelleys.corner]

I wish I knew more at this moment to share 😅 but hopefully in the future I'll have even more to give

[@kay.reads.and.crochets]

Loved Legendborn and Bloodmarked! Thank you for including so many middle grade books as well - I'm a teacher and I'm always looking for new books for my classroom library or read alouds 😊I feel like it's an age range that a lot of people skip over or lump in with YA and not all of my readers are ready for YA yet.

[@shelleys.corner]

Awww yay! I love when teachers comment things like this because I know you're helping your students broaden their reading 🫶🏾

[@SoooOriginal]

Omg, thank you girl! I was in a reading slump and needed these recs!

[@mamutshilanda9822]

Hi! stumbled upon your page and I am glad I did! I love that you were able to recommend books by black Authors but also emphasis on authors from the mother land and the Caribbean. I have a couple of them on my TBR already but added the ones I didn't have on my TBR. Oh and loved the middle grade recs! Thank you!

[@shelleys.corner]

Aw thank you so much! Honestly there are so many out there once you get to searching and I hope people enjoy them 🥰

[@PaulasPageTurners]

Woohoo Amazing ! Thank you so much!

[@shelleys.corner]

You're welcome 🥰

[@TheBookHermie]

I got unreasonably excited when you kept mentioning Kalynn Bayron. Loved how you put this list together… definitely adding a few more to my tbr. I was also happy that I had either read or heard of… it makes me hopeful that publishing can improve and stop hiding the good books from us based on no good reason!

[@yourewelcomebooks]

Girl, thank you for these soo many fantasy books that I missed - and FANTASY is my favourite 😂

[@shelleys.corner]

There's so many out there 😭 I'm sure I missed a buttload but I did my best 🥰

[@saiabokor]

I found tour videos on accident and I love it lol. You just gave me so many new books I wanna read and I can't wait! Question: have you read "My Sister, the Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite I really recommend it

[@crimsonwhispersva2498]

Some Books I loved this year from black authors Quilt of Souls by Phyllis Biffle Elmore (highly suggest) Track Record by George The Poet The Queen of Sugar Hill - a novel about Hattie McDaniel by Lynnette R Freeman Mourning Glory By LL Mckinney

[@shelleys.corner]

Thank you! I'll start looking for these to add to my TBRs 🙌🏾

[@Merve77772]

I read Witches Steeped in Gold last summer and it was amazing. Big recommendation for the fantasy girlies. I have read some of the more popular books on your list but I am definitely going to check out more like The Rage of Dragons and Tinderbox

[@shelleys.corner]

Okayyyy now I'm excited for Witches Steeped in Gold! But yes, the more obscure books are always so good!

[@israaahmed7168]

You HAVE to read Alexis Henderson’s The Year of the Witching!!!

[@shelleys.corner]

Ooooo I've heard of that. I think it's on my TBB list. I'll have to revisit 😆

[@KayReads__]

Slay is such an amazing book!!

[@shelleys.corner]

I know it's a bit old but I hardly ever see anyone talk about it!

[@KayReads__]

@ it’s an underrated book! I met the author two years ago at a book festival!

[@shelleys.corner]

@KayReads__ that's dope!!

[@Gigi44_Bookworm]

I think you would enjoy The Canopy Keepers by Veronica G. Henry

[@shelleys.corner]

Ooooooo okay, on the hunt for this I go! Thank you 💓
