Goodreads Winter Challenge 2026: Black Heritage

In honor of Black History Month, we've put together this specially curated collection of books with the aim of helping readers discover new and interesting titles to read throughout the year.

This time around, we're concentrating on relatively recent releases. All of the books below have U.S. publication dates from 2024 onward, and we've sorted everything into two general stacks: fiction and nonfiction. All the better to appreciate the vast range of books to consider.
