6 Books with Black Female Protagonists to Read in August

Hi guys! Happy new month! 7 months down, 5 to go. How has the year been for you so far? For me, it’s been fairly okay. I’ve not experienced any loss or grief, and for that I’m very grateful, especially because of the grim state of the world rn.

This is going to be another bookish post. I know I’ve been doing a lot of that this year. That’s because I rediscovered my love for reading, and I want everyone to bask in that love with me.

Just like the title says, this post is going to focus on books with badass black heroines. The books range from SciFi and fantasy to romance and YA, so they cater to a variety of tastes. If you’re like me and you like to read lots of genres, then you’ll definitely fall in love with one or more of these books.

Hi there!

My name is Ru, or Oyinda. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember, and my love for books has only grown stronger over the years. There’s something so special about getting lost in a story and then sharing those thoughts with others. On this blog, you’ll find book reviews, honest (and sometimes rambling!) bookish thoughts, recommendations across different genres, and many more for fellow book lovers. Whether you’re searching for your next read or just want to chat about books, you’re in the right place.
