We’re still drooling (iykyk) over how good Sinners was! It’s a serious hangover and the only way to cure it is to recommend books to read if you loved the movie! We’ve curated a list featuring outstanding works of Black authors with a concentration on Southern Gothic, Vampires and other things that go bump in the night, so swipe away and add them to your TBRs! 🩸🖤

Did you know that today is also Independent Bookstore Day? It’s dedicated to celebrate and support the backbone of the book community: Independent Bookstores and Booksellers! We thought we’d use this opportunity to shoutout some of our favorite local Black-owned indie bookstores and use our platform to extend their reach to our followers! Give some love to theromanceerabookshop, grandgesturebooks, and thirdeyebag 🩷

💡Not within your area or not carrying the exact book you're looking for? Here are two alternative options to help the local bookstore community thrive from anywhere, even in the comfort of your own home!

✨ Place your orders from bookshop_org, an online book marketplace that connects readers with independent booksellers around the world. 
✨ Are you more of an audiobook lover? librofm supports indie bookshops with every audiobook purchase! 

Both platforms allow you to select an indie bookstore to buy your books from. Please give them a follow and check them out!

Sinners was such a beautiful movie with incredible storytelling by an incredible cast and production team. It's never been so important (even though it's ALWAYS been important) to support diverse creatives in every field, especially in the US where these stories are constantly being threatened or hidden altogether. It's up to us all to support diverse creatives in all industries so preorder your most anticipated releases, request them at your libraries, visit your favorite local indie bookstore, share or review when you're excited or loved a story and more! There are tons of ways to support creatives. Also feel free to share your own favorite indie bookstores for today in the comments!
