Reading list: My Summer of African American Authors 2018

Created by: Abandoned by Booklikes

I started reading some descriptions of books the other day by Octavia E Butler and maybe got a bit shook at the similarities between her book Parable of the Talents and the mess that is America under the Trump Administration. So after deep diving on books of Butler's I want to read, I decided to make a list of African American Authors I want to read this year.
