Willow's Black History Month Reading List

February is black history month in the US. I try to read diverse authors throughout the year, but I try to dedicate February to authors of color. This is obviously not an exhaustive list, just some of the books on my TBR I would like to prioritize. Mainly fiction with some science fiction and fantasy.
