You made an excellent point that authors are not obligated to out their mental or physical disorders. Didn’t even think of that. I never cared if the author has the disorder that is talked about in a book.

My tbr grows faster than my reading pace can keep up with

I'm a white person from Norway, my ancestors going back as far as we know are from here. So, When No One Is Watching is not something that speaks to my lived experience, but HOLY SHIT that book scared the shit out of I would listen to the audiobook going on a walk and would have to stop myself from screaming a couple of times. I keep seeing people leaving bad reviews for amazing books because they don't identify with the characters and the setting and it baffles me. Like ALL you have to do is empathise? it feels like something is broken in them, the part that just let's you put yourself in other peoples shoes. I would feel sorry for them if they weren't causing harm with their attitudes. On a brighter note, I'm so excited Alyssa Cole has another book coming out! I can't wait to read it!

how dare y’all put so many amazing-sounding new books on my radar when i JUST promised myself not to buy more books for a long while 😩 ❤️

[pinksuperstar]

I have a few I wanted to share that I think might interest you:

Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma (black vampires + boarding school)
The 7-10 Spilt by Karmen Lee (a black Sapphic romance involving bowling)
The Partner Plot by Kristina Forest

Do you have a video detailing your feelings and opinions about "disability as a plot device"? I share some of your sentiment, and i would love to hear other black readers' thoughts. Thank you ❤ great video!

[nonbinaryreading]

Thank y'all for this video! Not only did I add several books to my personal TBR but (perhaps more importantly?) I've written down several titles as purchase suggestions for the queer bookshop I volunteer at, since I'm part of its inventory team.

Which reminds me, at our latest meeting we odered copies of "High-risk Homosexual" and "Punch me up to the gods", titles I've suggested and both got put on my radar by y'all.
So if y'all want to take some credit of being the reason Sweden's only queer bookshop soon will have them in stock, y'all are definitely free to do so 😉

I've been WAITING for Alyssa Cole to come out with another thriller/horror.

[imani_iguana]

Added so many of these to my list! Others I’m excited about: The Blonde Dies First (by: Joelle Wellington), Ours (by: Phillip B. Williams), Dead Girls Walking (by: Sami Ellis); And then some sequels: Drown Me With Dreams (by: Gabi Burton), Saint-Seducing Gold (by: Brittany N. Williams), Blood Debts (by: Terry J. Benton-Walker), Beasts of War (by: Ayana Gray), Shadows of Perl (by: J. Elle), The Eternal Ones (by: Namina Forna), and Children of Anguish and Anarchy (by: Tomi Adeyemi)

[frogsinatrenchcoat]

My most anticipated release by a Black author is Dead Girls Walking by Sami Ellis. It’s a YA horror slasher set on a summer camp for horror-obsessed queer girls. I simply had to pre-order to get my hands on it ASAP😳

[jillie-rie]

lmfaooo the “please be queer” when talking about the synopsis of Out of Body reminds me of my cousin trying to add to her TBR 🤣

[lefthandblackcatgirl]

I am Jamaican. Broughtupsy is pronounced ( brought-up- sy) I am also queer and excited to see so many Jamaican authors writing about queer experiences, although I prefer horror so I haven't read any yet. Marlon James' dark star trilogy is on my tbr though

[ggoossiippggiirrll]

I had no idea Micaiah Johnson had a new book coming out. Her debut was a solid 5 stars for me. She’s def a auto-buy author now. Thanks for letting me know!!

[chantristrammell]

Just when i was getting my tbr list curated to read as many authors who look like me. I will never not be in my vampire era, btw. I will be rewatching this video because i love your takes on books.

[samurray]

For the first half of the year, I am looking forward to:

River Mumma by Zalika Reid-Benta (I loved her book of short stories)
Parasol Against the Axe by Helen Oyeyemi (with her I just know it's going to be deeply weird)
The House of Broken Bricks by Fiona Williams (family drama)
A Kind of Madness by Uché Okonkwo (short stories)
While We Were Burning by Sara Koffi (thriller)
The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé (historical fiction)
Skin & Bones by Renée Watson (contemporary)
Allow Me to Introduce Myself by Onyi Nwabineli (her first novel was so bittersweet)
The Road to the Country by Chigozie Obioma (The Fishermen is amazing)
Swift River by Essie J. Chambers (family drama)
One of Our Kind by Nicola Yoon (I am interested to see how she writes for adults)

[thereaderinblack]

Thank you, this video was so informative and fun. I have Those Beyond The Wall in my hands and I'm beyond excited

[siannanacoste-caldwell]

Thank you for taking the time to curate this list...I am soooo EXCITED ❤

[bibrarian]

Pre ordered It's Elementary so fast when you mentioned it. I LOVE cozy mysteries so much.

[effloress]

'When No One Is Watching' also gave me a panic attack. So I'm eagerly waiting for Alyssa Cole's new release. Fingers crossed 'One of Us Knows' handles DID with care and without sensationalizing the experience of living with said diagnosis. Thank you for once again adding to my tbr! Every book I've ever picked up upon a recommendation of yours has ended up being a favorite. 💜

[AishaTheBibliophile]

❤ the Jamaican book is called BROUGHT UP SEE. Its a Jamaican Patois word describing how you are raised. I was playing this in the background and almost choked drinking my drink when you said it like that. 😂 its going to be hilarious to hear everyone saying it.
