February Book Releases By Black Authors You Need
If you didn’t know, January released a hot track list of books written by Black Authors that are easily rolling over into February. ‘Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband?’ by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, was published on January 18, 2022, but it’s kicking off my February hopefuls with hilarious commentary and an intense look into Black women friendships.
That aside, there are a few books releasing in February that are going to send me flying to the bookstore on pub days. If you haven’t had your eyes on these titles, give them a chance so you can walk out of Black History Month in love with a Black author or two!
