Please buy books that are coming out this year. Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

Mine! (or any of them - if for no other reason than Americans really do need to read more) But Chanda is right - the list of 2026 books is amazing. I've been pre-ordering my fool head off. bookshop.org/p/books/free...

“How artists push boundaries makes them dangerous to entrenched power structures/hierarchies. The arts are means of driving connection & acknowledging difference. They’re a forum for marginalized & oppressed voices to express sideways, through metaphor & other devices, what can’t be said straight.”

We (my indie publishing company, How2Conquer) has a book by a Black writer coming out in the fall. We are currently looking for beta readers because my team is all white women and we're not qualified to give substantive feedback on this one. DM me if you're willing.

Announcement of new author Paul Lapido with his picture. He's a smiling Black man with a beard and he's wearing glasses.

Oh hells yes thank you for the suggestions and list! I have been adding to my TBR pile & reading some that you’ve suggested. I’m currently finishing Foner’s “Gateway to Freedom” that (IIRC) you referenced & it has been educational and all too relevant re: inter-state dynamics around 1850 act
