Jane Austin's Bookshelf and Maya & Natasha both sound good. I'm especially interested in the Austin book.

Law wrote: "Any Black books?"I get the feeling the publishers front-loaded the month. A lot of black authors books released on the 4th so folks who were looking to build their TBRs could do so at the beginning. Just a guess.
Law wrote: "Any Black books?"Most of the covers look pretty multi-colored. Hope that helps!
Law wrote: "Any Black books?"The alien one has an obvious Black woman on the cover and is written by a Black woman. ŷ released a list earlier this month for Black History Month with more relevant works.

This is a list of what most readers like. For people who like books, some of you don't read. If you're looking for diversity see the earlier news post.
Law wrote: "Any Black books?"Two of them are by women of colour.
Valid question by the way, and it's sad that a common response is "There was an article about it earlier this month", as if representation wasn't something that we should be constantly be doing. Having one article about POC authors and books should not mean that everything else published the rest of the month can't have representation, nor that it isn't right to ask for more diversity.

Why are you conflating POC and Black? The other woman is not Black, and that's not what the user asked for. There is nothing wrong with wanting rep, but why ask a question you can easily answer yourself by looking at the books...

My bad, I misread. Although a lot of articles/listicles tend to put both together. There is no need to be aggressive, by the way, to me or to the OP.

Where is the aggression in my comments?
Kimberly Lemming has me in a chokehold with that entire series. So good. Also looking forward to Rebel Witch
OMG. Why does it even matter if there are black, brown yellow, red, white or purple people eaters, green aliens & polka-dotted people as Authors or a photo on the cover??? Perhaps all of you need to get another hobby. It's NOT the color of one's skin that makes a great story. It's the individual thought process of the AUTHOR that makes a good book !!!!!

It's the perfect hobby, actually, because there's something for everyone.
None interest me with this particular week, but that wasn't the case other weeks - my 2025 pile is definitely building up
