In honour of Black History Month, here are some of my favourite fictional books by Black authors. As communication students, we have many, many pages of reading for school but trust me, the following books are a breath of fresh air and are worth your time.

If thrillers are your jam, check out our review of Aces of Spades by Àbíké-Íyímídé here. 

These books are from different genres and tell different stories, but what they all have in common is how they centre Black characters.
