Electric Lit's 48 Books by Women of Color to Read in 2025

"With all I am, I love reading. I think of writing as an extension of the reading, a kind of call and response. So, here are some of the 2025 books I am excited about. I'm one person with an incomplete knowledge of forthcoming titles. If you're looking forward to a title not mentioned here, please consider preordering it from your local bookstore, requesting it from the library, telling people about it, or all of the above."
-R.O. Kwon
