William (be2lieve) | 1475 comments Member Sagheer in post #8 in the Monthly Book Discussion Selection thread has given me an idea. I propose a poll(s) which includes only books written by group members. But with over 1000 members I'm unable to peruse each profile to see who is a published goodreads author. Please list your own book or fellow members books for inclusion on a monthly poll in the near future on this thread. Surely our online community can give some support to our own!

Rashida | 264 comments So, books that have recently come to my attention as written by members:

Sagheer's The Reluctant Mullah
Qwantu's One Blood
Roy's Patches Of Grey

I'm sure there are more out there! I think this is a great idea if folks let us know you're out there!

Motherless Child - stories from a life It's available in paperback and ebook.

William (be2lieve) | 1475 comments Hey Sara...no worries...since the more well know authors show up on all the other polls its the hidden gems by members that could use our support I hope to uncover...(Nor am I going to discriminate against the well known...perhaps 2 separate polls?)

Adrienna (adriennaturner) | 776 comments Sorry, my books are nonfiction, poetry, and only one fiction published as fiction under pen name (but seeking a new publisher). Good luck all.

I'm a new member of the group, a new self-publisher, and a writer of fiction/fantasy/adventure/spiritual/paranormal with some FLAVA in it...people of color can save the world too - like we've been doing for a long time anyway!
