Black Love Stories

Posted on By Hannah Bergstrom de LeonPosted in Book Lists

In honor of both Black History Month as well as it being Valentine’s Day, we thought we’d put together a list of Black Love Stories. This is a diverse list of love stories including family, queer, mythological and more. They cover a wide range of genres as well, so there should be something for everyone this February. Each book has been written by a Black author and either Haddi or Hannah has read and recommends these love stories.

Queer Love

A look at the love found and lived between two men in the Deep South during antebellum America.
A YA read that dives deep into the emotional experience of love and life

Non-Fiction Recommendations
