Reads and Ramblings with Beth

hello everyone!  I had such a great time putting together my ' 11 Non-fiction Books about BLM that I plan to read TBR ' that I am now back with a similar list for fiction novels!! Most of these titles are YA (young adult) fiction and mostly new releases. A few also tie in well with June being Pride month as they have LGBTQIA+ representation.  These have come from recommendations on Twitter and Instagram, as well as research I have done into recently published black written novels. I have plans in a few weeks to share a compilation post containing LOADS of Black Lives Matter links, including fellow bloggers posts and reviews, book lists, black owned businesses and resources; where you will find many of the books I am going to be recommending plus lots more!  I have decided to make this post into two parts as my TBR is long, and all the books on this list had a red/orange/pink colour theme which I thought looked good together :)  1.

All of the books that are going to feature in this post are books that have been recommended to me buy fellow bloggers or that I have seen on Twitter and Instagram posts and decided to research. Therefore I have not read any yet - this is in effect  MY ANTI-RACISM TBR!!! It's quite long but there's so many amazing books that I have found that I want to share.  .................... #1  'SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE' - IJEOMA OLUO This book addresses the topics of white privilege, police brutality, raci...
