BOOOOOks Coming Out In October

OK, So I know the post title is a little (a lot) corny but you can’t blame a blogger for that… Can you? *Insert eye flutter here* I can’t believe that October is pretty much here and it feels like time as flown while simultaneously moving like a sloth (definitely not cute like one either). One of the great things though is that there are some really great books coming out this month and I’m really excited (who WOULDN’T be excited about new books coming out though?!)!

• Why We Fly by Kimberly Jones & Gilly Segal 10/5
• Tristan Strong Keeps Punching by Kwame Mbalia *MG sequel* 10/5 (This was my FAVORITE of the series, Kwame definitely did what he needed to do on this one!)
• Black Was The Ink by Michelle Coles 10/12 (This is a book I believe should be in the Social Studies Curriculums since it has so many important historical events in it during the Reconstruction Era.)
• Bounce Back by Misako Rocks! *MG Manga* 10/19

There are a few books that I really wish I had gotten as early copies to read but it matters not because I will eventually get my hands on them, believe that!

Are there any books that you are super excited about?! If so, share them in the comments or on social media! Same goes for if you know of any books by Authors Of Color coming out this month that isn’t in this list with their release date!

Well y’all, if you want to find me, you can holler at me (why, yes, I did say that on purpose, lol) on Instagram @bookishgirlmagic, Twitter @bookishgrlmagic and Clubhouse @bookishgrlmagic where you can typically find me in book centered clubs/rooms (which I’m not on super often, just an FYI but for sure on Tuesdays and Fridays). Also subscribe to this blog if you haven’t already because it gives me the warm & fuzzies when I see new subscribers! Anyways, have a good day, wherever you are in the world! Until the next post, Bye BOOs (sorry, I couldn’t help myself! LOL!)!
