I see black woman in a thumbnail with a title about books without even watching one video… SUBSCRIBED IMMEDIATELY LOL

Welp, there’s goes my bank account 🛒 📚🤣

Now Kayla ! Why would you make this video !!!! Omg okay let me get out my notebook 😂 and add to my never ending TBR❤

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽As a WOC fiction writer thank you for promoting black authors. 🙌🏽

You compared the characters of The After Party to "Living Single" characters...say less! Add to my TBR! 😂

📋 Frieeeeend! Hey book bestie! Now ive read about 85-90% of these and i will say, you have some bangers on here. I haven’t read any of your horror recs tho. So of course i added them to Libby. I do have a few recs for you…Valerie Burns “cake” series, Delicious Monsters, The Perishing, Brendan Slocumb books, Anywhere you Run by Wanda Morris, Promise Boys, There’s No Way I’d Die First, I’m Not Supposed To Be In The Dark. Look I have a list a mile long. 🤔 Maybe I should make a video 😂

📋I used to LOVE horror. Halloween was my fave back in the day because I could watch scary movies all day. IT by Stephen King was the book that got me out of reading horror. It was so scary😨

Mayor of Maxwell Street was phenomenal.

Tananarive Due is an OG in this genre!

The vicious games was sooooo good 5 ⭐ for me!

Ughhh I’ve been look for my black written books 😍😍

📋 S.A. Cosby and Tiffany D. Jackson have become my fav for a great the thriller. Razorblade tears is so good on audible Buddy Lee is so funny at the wrong moments. And the weight of blood my Tiffany was the book that got me into audible 📚

This is the video i have been looking for. For us by us!!! Some of these i have read and the others i have added to my TBR list. Loved this video! ❤

Thank you so much for this! I love mysteries and thrillers! 🤩

I agree with your comments on The Reformatory. I think about it all the time! It stuck with me 😢

I clicked on this video so fast lol I love mysteries and I'm so excited to finally see some written by black authors!

All The Sinners Bleed was AMAZING!

Great recommendations. Tananana Reeve Due is a fantastic author. I definitely suggest all of her books. Especially the living blood series and the between.

❤️👏🏽💕yes you have us lots of good recs! Thank you

Great recommendations, I added a few to my cart 🛒

Their Vicious Games was a really great read and I’m not into YA however Joelle Wellington did a wonderful job with her creativity.

I literally just picked up The Reformatory right before I watched this video. I have a lot of these other books on my tbr as well. Some I’ve dnf’d and dine just keep getting moved down. Loved the recs ! 😊 📋

I loved Only One Of Us Knows!!!! Alyssa Cole did her thang!!!

So many good recs! Thank you so much ✨

Dead Dead girls got me hooked on this author and after the party was great also

I LOVED ‘their vicious games’! Can’t wait to hear what you think

I'm so glad KZfaq recommended your channel. I immediately subscribed and I can't wait to read some of your suggested books. I love a good mystery/thriller.

📋 I added several of these books to my tbr, thanks for compiling this list!

📋Hey girl!! I added After Party and The Other mistress to my wishlist immediately 😆 White Smoke will definitely pass as a little horror. It was different for me but good! And yesssss to S A Cosby. I was gifted all of his books for my birthday this month. I did My Darkest Prayer as audio and it was CHEF KISS. I just finished Razorblade Tears on Tuesday. Whew! So good 🙌🏽🔥

I'm only at the 3:03 mark in the video and I'm like these covers are all so good lemme write these down, 4:18 I loved Their Vicious Games can't wait for her next book

This was such a good video!

📋 I can read a horror story with ease, but I CAN NOT watch a horror movie, lol

📋🙌🏾tons of great recs, thanks!

I just discoverd your channel. I read Black Top WasteLand and Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby. I loved them both.

Girl I just subscribed, Got me a good book list going, Thanks to you!! ❤

So glad I found you! Loved the video. I’ve read some of these books, some are currently on my TBR, and you introduced me to some new ones as well. Girl The Reformatory is tearing me up! I have to take breaks because it’s stressing me but it’s a very interesting read. 💖 📋

Immediate follow! So many recommendations- thank you!!

Girl!!!!!!!!! This was my first video of yours I’ve watched. I did a search on KZfaq because I was looking for a book recommendation by black authors. I typically only read business audiobooks. I came across your video and chose one of your recommendations that day “Reformatory” I am a horror movie fanatic but I’d never listened to a horror book before. This was the best book ever. I laughed, I cried, I was so angry!!! This book was so well written. When it was finished I felt lost. I wanted to keep following these characters. It was an amazing book. I just rewatched this video so I could move on to recommendation #2 🤣 So I’m now going to start “Allegedly” thanks. 😊

Girl, where have you been all my book life??? I love majority of your picks. I'm a newbie here and I enjoyed your video. ❤

Great video!! 🤩 keep them coming. I've been looking for a lengthy list with these exact specifics.

Finally !! Thank you for this I been wanting one of my fave who loves books just as much as me to talk bout a specific genre and im here for it!! This is mines (MYSTERY NOVELS) love books that has me from the first 3 chapters and wanting to know what happens next where it’s completely unexpected book turners!! My notebook was out sis and jotted some I def want to be into ready to read!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! ❤😊

Such a great list!! Thanks for sharing!!📋

One of Us Knows is on my list too! it sounds so good.

📋 !! Just found your channel and I’m so glad I did!! I love the detail you give it was completely on point . Thank you ! I feel like I have a new book best friend ❤

Subscribed! I've been looking for something like this.

I just finished reading The Black Queen. It is an amazing book!!! I absolutely love it.

So I just open to stumble across this video and I IMMEDIATELY subscribed just off the title alone. Then After I subscribed I had to get a notebook and pen because I’ll be in somebody’s bookstore this weekend. Thanks for the dope list of books.

Added The After Party to my tbr. Will probably come back and add more 😂

Just started One of Us Knows. So far really good! Before I read any book I look up reviews. My first review on this book said there were too many misspellings for them to say it was a good book. Within the first few pages I figured out the misspellings were intentional, and it makes the book more interesting for me. I loved When no one is watching.

I really enjoyed They All Fall Down & Out of Body! I have several of the others on my TBR! Just subscribed!🩷📋

I'm so happy I found your channel 🫠 love reading. Although lately I'm Audible Fan.

Completely loved this!!!

Thanks for sharing 👍

Great recs 📋

I subscribed just because of this video. Thank you for the recommendations.

📋I added so many books to my TBR. Glad I found you.

My new best friend , so glad I landed on your channel, I am going to be a subbie today.

📋❤ Thank You!

Buying the after party right now. That description was all I needed. Also dead dead girls is really good.

oooh i love a cozy mystery because I am definitely the scaredy cat girl lol thanks so much for the recommendations!

📋. Thank you

Added some of these to my TBR! As if I need more new books 😅

The Shanora Williams books are actually connected even though they are standalones. She includes an updated of the previous story in the next book. Thats why I ate them all 3 up at one time 🤌🏾

📋 thank you - I love thrillers but I left the horrors off my list lol

I love mysteries and thrillers! So glad your channel came up on my recommendations. I subbed immediately.

📋 I am definitely going to pick up Dead Dead Girls and The After Party !

Loved this list! I added nearly all of them to my TBR and put a few on hold at the library. Thanks so much for sharing!

The After Party is really, really good. I'm glad you talked about it. I have to share your video with the author. She'll get a kick out of your review. 😀I love all your other book recommendations as well.

Your description of The After Party had me hooked! Can’t wait to read that one!

I just found your channel and I am so glad I did! As a Black woman that has always loved to read I am so happy to see this representation. With the cozy vibes in your videos, I instantly subscribed!

📋 All of these sound good!!!

And now I need monies 😂… all have been added to my tbr

KZfaq recommended your channel, and it has been the BEST recommendation!! I loved this video, and you reminded me of so many books that I already own and need to elevate to read over the next few months. I even added a few to my TBR that I didn't know about. I love your presence. It's like sitting down with an old friend, just sitting back and takn books. 😂😂 Take care, and I'm looking to future videos!!

The Kindles name had me rolling and you said it so smooth. lmaos Great video. Added a bunch to my goodreads account

I'm so happy I ran across your page!!!!!!!!!!!! And a few are included in the plus catalog! I can't wait!

Tiffany D Jackson is absolutely incredible!

I needed some book recommendations and stumbled on this video. I’ve added some of your recommendations to my list so that I can listen to the audiobooks. Adam Lazarre-White narrated S.A. Cosby books Razorblade Tears & All The Sinners Bleed. Adam is also an actor and was in the tv show Living Single and played Khadijah’s boyfriend (teacher). Funny that you mentioned Living Single 😂

Found your great suggestions video just in time, tomorrow I’m off to the bookshop’s and plan on getting several of the books you have suggested. Thank you!!

Thanks for so many great recs. There's a lot if new to me.

I appreciate the chapter so much because I literally had to come back to this video to find a book lol.

Just found your channel. And so glad that I did. Thanks for all your recommendations. Typically read historical fiction books but I’m going to try your cozy thrillers first

Im so glad this video popped up in my feed. I love thriller and suspense books. I haven’t read any by Black authors. New sub!

I love that you mentioned Tiffany D Jackson! White Smoke didn’t quite resonate with me, but I did enjoy the other two you mentioned. Have you read / heard of The Weight of Blood by her? I haven’t yet but i know it’s a YA Horror.

📋 I am so glad I came across your channel - instant subscriber! Tiffany D Jackson and SA Cosby are two of my all time favorite authors. I look forward to watching more of your videos 💜

You had me at “Dead Dead Girls” because I had already purchased that one on Audible! Then I kept playing and pausing to add 📚to my already long list of books 😆Well done! Much appreciated!

I’m glad I have most of these books. Because my trip to Barnes & Noble was going to be tragic 😂

You are amazing! Thank you for this video! ❤❤❤

great recommendations!! 😊 added so many to my TBR ✨
