Got annoyed with people needing Black book recs. So here ya go! Here's my entire Black book collection. Either author, or main character is Black. Lots of genre, even though I mostly read mystery and Thriller. Do the research, uplift Black Authors and Black Content Creators, especially in the BOOKISH community! My first own voices arc for the year! Oxford Blood follows a mixed Black girl named Eva who is on the interview track for the university of her dreams but when bodies begin showing up it may not only be a competition who survives the vetting process but also for the rest of their lives. Dark academia and mystery are literally the only buzzwords I really need. I enjoyed my time reading this and gave it 🥕🥕🥕.75 and I look forward to reading more from this author. I do have to say that in my personal opinion the naivety that our fmc had was annoying to me. And indicative of the identity politics that plague conversation for progress in Black communities. Instantly trusting a white woman detective over her Black Detective Father was a red flag for me and there were several times where white guilt apologist talking points were prevalent. *sigh* the mystery was decently plotted tho so I’m looking forward to wmore work from this author and their growth. #arcreview #bookreviewer #bookishbabe The first finished arc of the year! While I I enjoyed the couple in this novel that was about it. The pacing was so weird. It was so odd. Only 331 pages and it was such a meandering read, I was literally just along for the ride. Anytime something happened outside of the couple I’d be like okay tell me more about that and then we’d just never go back there again. I felt like nothing outside of the couple was inconsequential. I gave it 🥕🥕🥕.5 and I’d like to read her other work. #arcreview #bookishgirlie #romance I had an absolute blast with Steam by Shaenon K. Garrett. I received this arc from Simon and Schuster on NetGalley. Released on February 3rd, this graphic novel is bright, sweet and hopeful! I shed a tear! Book 2 of 2026! Gave bring down the house by Mariko Tamaki 4 carrots. Essentially an origin story for Zatanna, I loved the character design and their introductions. As a child and now Zatanna has always been my favorite and realized that she never really got her due. I love this resurgence of her and her upcoming solo series makes me so so excited! Zatanna does tricks not magic, it’s dangerous and she wants no parts. However no one else seems to care about that and when she realizes that people are after the “magic” she doesn’t do she’ll have to reach inside herself to fix it or be destroyed. The art was so trippy and I had such a blast! #graphicnovelseries #comicbooks #dccomics #bookreviewer Book Journal #1 2026 Reading Goals First post of the new year and I’m relatively on time for a trend! Who is she?! Just a cute list of autobuy authors. Do you have any ? Bookish, book recommendations, author recommendations, book suggestions, book content December Scramble
