Decolonize Your Romance Reading
By Lit. on Fire BooksBrought to you by community member and bookstagrammer Amanda Aeschliman, here is a list to decolonize your romance reading habits! "The vast majority of the books feature either BIPOC main characters and/or BIPOC authors, LGBTQ+ characters and/or authors, as well as lots of plus-size rep, some disability rep, mental health rep, etc... basically just lots of books by and about different kinds of marginalized voices. Also very feminist and nothing at all problematic, " Amanda said about the list.
You will find notes next to each title to let you know what kind of representation you may find among the pages.
THANK YOU for taking the time to compile this list to share with our community Amanda, and I cannot wait to start stocking some of these wonderful titles in store, too!
Please give her a follow on Instagram for many, many more great book recs! Instagram.com/talk_about_swoon
