As a frequent library user, I appreciate that you're willing to pick books that are current enough to score a borrowed copy! Fable sounds so super cool, I'll be joining your club and checking out some others as well!
And omg I Iove love Six Crimson Cranes! I finished reading about 2 months ago. What a great pick! Is the whole book club going to be on the Fable app? I just downloaded it. I don't mind reading it again or at least joining the discussion. Will there be audio/video discussion or only via written text? And only one meeting for each book? Or more like a weekly thing?
I would love to recommend “The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas”, or “Dom Casmurro”, both classics written by the black Brazilian author Machado de Assis Ever since I started to read more classics from all countries, I realized how much I neglected his intelligence just because I found it hard to comprehend, and actually they are wonderful masterpieces written by a mastermind Unfortunately, no contemporary Brazilian authors of color that I know of were translated into English. Due to general miscegenation here, it’s very hard to tell ethnicities apart unless the person tells you, so it’s complicated... I’ll leave a recommendation for the people in the comment section though of a Brazilian YA LGBTQIA+ book: “Here the whole time” by Vitor Martins
I am so excited for this!!! This year when I got back into reading, I made a vow to myself for most of the books I read to be by authors of color and it’s been so refreshing and I’ve felt so seen. I absolutely cannot wait for this!! I’m running to my Libby app right now
I love this so much! I can't wait to read and learn with you and everyone else. I've been trying to be way more aware of what I'm reading. To make sure I'm getting a diverse collection. I've even made my parents read by authors of color. And they have actually found some new favorite authors. I think this is so awesome. This is going to be great.
This is such a great idea! Some books I've had my eye on are: You've Reached Sam, xoxo, the Taking of Jake Livingston, once upon a quinceañera, cemetery boys, how we fall apart, witches steeped in gold and you had me at hola
I've never heard of Fable, I think you just made me into a book club fanatic😂 But I love this idea. I'm definitely going to try joining December and January if I have time since I'll be moving. These sound like amazing picks! I can't wait to read them
I'm super late to finding this book club but I love everything about it. Six Crimson Crows is on my TBR and was just recommended to me by a friend. Looks like I know what book I'm kicking 2022 off with. ❤
This is an amazing book club!! 😍 for book recommendations, I recommend checking out Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa. It’s about a Palestinian woman’s life and what it means to be a revolutionary. It definitely has some trigger warnings but I think it’s important to highlight Palestinian voices 🇵🇸
Books l recommend for future Book Club picks: "Raybearer" duology by Jordan Ifueko, "The Torchbearers" by Ami Majmudar and "The Kishkindha Chronicles" by Professor Vamsee Juluri (It will be a trilogy with only the first two books released so far but it's written in a way that each book can kinda be read as a standalone too. The released books so far are "Saraswati's Intelligence" and "The Firekeepers of Jwalapuram"). I also recommend the classics "Parables" duology by Octavia Butler.
I love this idea and joining a book club. I am actually working on doing something similar but for children. A work in progress.. I just hope I can keep up. I am currently reading Six Crimson Cranes and it is so so good so far. I don't want it to end. I will join and hopefully I can keep up. 😊
I love this idea so much! You've created such a great community and what better way to get more intimate and read group books. Every year for a couple of years I've wanted to read two authors of color for every white author I've read, it helps keep me accountable. I'm so excited for Six Crimson Cranes!
OMG I am so excited! What a great idea! This year I started 5 book clubs, including 3 simultaneously at the same time! All authors of colors! One of the best decisions of my life! I also made a decision two years ago to have 99 percent of my fiction reads be by us Visibly racialized People. And Same goes for most categories in non-fiction books too.
I won't be reading Next Year in Havana, because it's not my genre and I really don't like settings that take place in the past/before 2000, but the other two books were already on my tbr and can't wait to read them.
Love that you started a book club! I had previously purchased "Next Year in Havana" and I didn't know when I'd get to it, but I joined and started reading it last night. Not interested in the December pick and I already read the January pick and I absolutely loved it!
I have never payed much attention to who the author is which resulted in me reading a lot of books by white men and I really want to branch out, I’m mixed but I was raised exclusively by my white mum so I feel really disconnected from the poc community and I would love to find a connection through books
My library is fairly limited in options so the only book I’ll be able to read is six crimson cranes, I am looking forward to this but I can see myself having to skip a lot of months which sucks
So excited!! Congratulations!! Looking forward to the bookclub, specifically Six Crimson Cranes. It's been on my wishlist. I just placed it on hold at the library in preparation for the January bookclub!
really couldn’t be happier about this! subscribed as a fellow south asian and was sick of not seeing people like me in this space. so excited to take part!
Thank you so so much for putting this together! I’m new to booktube and have been loving discovering new and different voices in the community and in the books I’m reading. I’m also so excited for all of the upcoming books, can’t wait to get started ♥️
I‘m really looking forward to this! I try to make sure that I read books by authors of color but I also have to admit that most of the books on my shelves are by white authors! Super excited to diversify my reading even more!
Oooh, I love this! I've been trying to read more diversely, so this couldn't have happened at a better time! It seems like you really have put a lot of effort into this, which is really appreciated and I can't wait to read along with you
I'm so excited!! Totally joining. So excited. The Unbroken and Six Crimson Cranes have been on my TBR! I'm so happy and excited for you and this book club.
I probably won't be joining the bookclub for a while (I want to knock out my TBR), but I think it's a great idea! Also, I recently started following Mina! I also read a !ot of adult fantasy lol (and YA). Six Crimson Cranes sounds interesting, as I love East Asian mythology. The Unbroken sounds good, too. I look for books with LGBTQ+ rep.
YEEEEEES. So excited for this. I hope that at some point in the future, you will get a chance to co-host with Adri from PerpetualPages. They are a non-binary Latinx booktuber who is super passionate about advocating for underrepresented groups. What I love most about their videos that they are more like a literary analysis. Adri digs deep into the meaningful themes in a book. They have incredibly developed reviewing skills that are different from any other booktuber I have come across (as in, they should be an English teacher!).
Super excited for this! I would recommend reading Sorrowland by Rivers Soloman! They are a black non binary author! The book is about a new black mother escaping a cult with a sci-fi twist. Such a good read that touches on so much.
This is such an amazing idea, Jananie! I'm excited to see where this club will go from here onwards. This is probably the first book club that I want to be a part of. Looking forward to reading books by authors of color. All the very best!
I am superrrrr excited! I always felt so out of place when reading the really popular books because sometimes I wanted to find something to relate to and I never knew where to start to being reading books that were more representative of me. So, I’m definitely going to join the book club to start! Thank you!
Such a fantastic idea! Definitely will be tagging along to get through some backlist books! I already read "Next Year in Havana", so I'll just ease my way into the discussion. Can't wait for the live discussion 😁
This such a good idea. I am always looking for different book types why not do same to different diversity as well. I can't wait for this to start. Also meet new people as well maybe then give me some confidence to start a booktube. Thank you to Jananie for allowing this idea and everyone who co-host or just joining in feeling welcome. I hope everyone has a great day, evening or night. 💕
so excited for the book club! all these picks sound super good. For future picks you should look into Light from uncommon stars by Ryka Aoki. It is a scifi novel with fantastic LGBTQ+ representation.
LOVE THIS!! hyped for all ur book choices this year and in the future !!
Same
Yes! Same! Btw, I love your book reviews! I read "Know my Name" by Chanel Miller because of your review! 😍
As a frequent library user, I appreciate that you're willing to pick books that are current enough to score a borrowed copy! Fable sounds so super cool, I'll be joining your club and checking out some others as well!

LOVE this idea!! Looking forward to reading along with u! Excited for Next Year in Havana, the only one out of the three I had never heard of. 🥰🥰
"I feel like it’s a book that‘s gonna make me cry so I’m very excited for that"
Just signed up for this. I can't wait!
I never clicked on a video so fast 🙌🏾🙌🏾 love this
Nice. Try hosting with some Indian booktubers next time..

I am so excited for this!!! This year when I got back into reading, I made a vow to myself for most of the books I read to be by authors of color and it’s been so refreshing and I’ve felt so seen. I absolutely cannot wait for this!! I’m running to my Libby app right now
Yesss!!!! I’ve been trying to only read books by authors of color for a while and I’m so excited for this!
I love this so much! I can't wait to read and learn with you and everyone else.

This is so exciting! Fable seems like such a cool app, a reading schedule is exactly what I need in my life 🤣
I've never heard of Fable, I think you just made me into a book club fanatic😂

THIS SOUNDS AMAZING!!!
Looks like I'll be reading Six Crimson Cranes in January!!!
I'm super late to finding this book club but I love everything about it. Six Crimson Crows is on my TBR and was just recommended to me by a friend. Looks like I know what book I'm kicking 2022 off with. ❤
I love your idea❤️ I wish fable shipped internationally 🥲

Literally updating my phone right now to download fable 😂

Potentially!!
I‘m really looking forward to this! I try to make sure that I read books by authors of color but I also have to admit that most of the books on my shelves are by white authors! Super excited to diversify my reading even more!
I just started The Gilded ones and im hooked
Wow! This seems really interesting... Theme based reading is always my fave
