New Fiction Reads for Black History Month

"February is Black History Month here in the U.S., and each year we like to join the celebration with big, bookish lists that will keep you reading long past the end of the month. Loyal readers will recall that last year we gathered together a backlist of essential fiction from Black authors, going back a decade or so. This time around, we're staying in the moment." ~Goodreads
