A group of authors have put together a #BlackAuthorReadathon for February. Check out Steph’s latest video from Stephs Romance Book Talk to learn more information and to find some fantastic book recommendations! Seriously, folks, so many great books listed here, and they are presented under their romance tropes. And if you aren’t watching Steph’s videos, you are MISSING OUT. She’s so fun and personable, and I love her bookish excitement.
