additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

I hear Carrie's being adapted again as a TV series for Amazon by Mike Flanagan and I'm now coming to terms with my apparent witch powers with how I manifested this back in 2021

Anyway, sincerely hoping they'll consider casting an actress that will accurately represent my fat, telekinetic, bloody queen from the novel.
