My reading list

I've always loved reading books from a very young age and have always been a nerd. If you were to ever enter my bedroom, you'll notice the numerous books I have ranging from fiction to non fiction, self-development, finance, law, spirituality, autobiographies and history. However, over the last couple of years I've been making an effort to buy and read more books by black authors. The list below is a list of my collection of books by black authors which I would recommend you read if this is something you are interested in.

A great place to get some of these books are indigibookz.com which is a black owned online bookstore, you can also get some of these titles from Amazon.
