[close] Welcome to Booked & Black–your Black book safe haven, celebrating all things Black-centered! We are unlike any other book club you’ve experienced because over here, we put so much love, attention, and care into every single aspect of this club. Down to its members, we want this book club to be the most personable one you’ve ever experienced. So no being left on read or feelings of shyness because over here, you will feel and be included. As lovers of reading, we wanted to create a safe, but fun space for all Black queens, kings, and sweet things to come in and find community within. We’ll read genres like romance, mystery thriller, horror, even fantasy, sci-fi and realistic fiction! This Book Club is run by admins Lala and UrBookBoo! If you have any questions, feel free to send us a DM through our IG account @booked_black. We can’t wait to read with you! See ya there!

[close] Goodreads group dedicated to the books & movies weeklong readathon!

[close] We are a bunch of nerds who have a genuine interest in reading and discussing good and offbeat literature; the kind that makes one crave simpler times or compels one to think beyond the confines of one's thoughts' haven. We don't generalize books but try to make our reads versatile. Cinema and music entice us too, so, you are welcome if you have a few good ones up your sleeves. We are intermittently active as the group is still in its nascent stage. We also recommend books and movies so, people who are new to reading, watching films and listening to music can join too. Lastly, we hope you will engage with us as we dig into the past to connect with Holden Caulfield's teenage angst, roam amidst the quaint snow-capped villages of Dehra in Ruskin Bond's tales, prepare a survival guide for a dystopian end from 1984, celebrate female resilience in the characters and texts of Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood and Kamla Bhasin and seek other authors & poets whose literary prowess can make or break ideas, stir up a revolution of sentiments and drive the masses to act, vent, clout, shout, cry and revolt as they have done countless times in past. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the varied world of literature. We'll be doing more and hope to have a great time at it! After all, Tolkien about literature is our Hobbit :) P.S. Please don't pay attention to the group's category. Group Icon by Joan Wong
