Authors are definitely dropping these books like they’re hot (oh goodness, that was corny) and I’m more than happy to pick them up (though my TBR may not agree with that sentiment). As I’ve previously stated, I may have missed some Authors Of Color’s titles so please let me know which ones here in the comments or on social media on Instagram @bookishgirlmagic (continue to look out for lives and the occasional post), Twitter @bookishgrlmagic (I’m quite random on there but still a good time), Threads @bookishgirlmagic (I’m posting on there a little more there) and Clubhouse @bookishgrlmagic where you can find me mostly in book centered clubs/rooms (mostly on Tuesdays and Fridays) to chat with me. Also let me know if there are any books that YOU are excited about! I definitely wanna know! Oh and please subscribe to this blog if you haven’t already because it makes me feel like my TBR has brought the heat in a tolerable way, lol! And to those who are subscribed, thank you thank you thank youuuuu, I really truly appreciate y’all! I’m sending bookish love and wishing you happy reading always!
