Diversifying our bookshelves!

Celebrate Black British Literature all year round, learning all about up and coming books as well as well-recommended reads.

I have loved reading books since I was young but I only intentionally started to make an effort to diversify my bookshelf in 2018 after completing my degree in English Literature.

Books have the power to transport you to a completely different world and also to put you in the shoes of people of various experiences.

My all-time favourite books by Black British authors are:

The Girl with the Louding Voice - Abi Daré
Breath, Eyes, Memory - Edwidge Danticat
His Only Wife - Peace Adzo Medie
Small Island - Andrea Levy
Noughts and Crosses - Malorie Blackman
Girl, Woman, Other - Bernadine Evaristo
Natives - Akala
