30 LGBTQ+ Non-Fiction by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Colour) Authors
Every month Book Club for Masochists: A Readers’ Advisory Podcasts chooses a genre at random and we read and discuss books from that genre. We also put together book lists for each episode/genre that feature works by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Colour) authors – to help readers to diversify their reading and library professionals to diversify their readers’ advisory. All of the lists can be found here.
