CELEBRATING BLACK LOVE – FICTION
In Nadine Gonzalez’s Only Lovers in the Building, Liliane is spending the summer in Miami Beach, Florida, after her legal career comes to a humiliating end. She soon meets university professor-on-sabbatical Benedicto Romero, the resident tortured poet, and they begin to spend their days together reading romance novels by the pool – while trying to make sense of the sizzling chemistry between them. Ebony LaDelle’s You’ve Got a Place Here, Too: An Anthology of Black Love Stories Set at HBCUs celebrates Black love through tender, powerful stories set at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Contributions from Elizabeth Acevedo, Kiese Laymon, Nicola Yoon, and more, explore hope, endurance, identity, and the profound impact of HBCUs on the community. In Britney S. Lewis’ Blood Moon, Mira grew up with legends of wolves that traveled to her midwestern town to protect humans from vampires, and of a werewolf that fell in love with one of the undead, unraveling a blood-soaked history. But she’ll soon have to accept that there’s much more to those old town myths than she thought – and they’ll shatter her past and change her future.
