A Space Built for us, by us.
At BLK & Company Reads, we want to foster an exclusive space dedicated to promoting and celebrating diverse voices within the Black community. More importantly, we focus on recognizing up-and-coming authors who are reshaping the literary landscape.
Each month, indulge in the joy of discovering new authors, exploring different narratives, and celebrating the richness of the Black Diaspora — one beautifully curated collection at a time.
- Black Voices at the Center: Not as a section. Not as a filter. As the whole point. Every title we carry was chosen intentionally.
- Up & Coming Authors: We love the classics, but we're especially excited about the writers reshaping what Black literature looks like right now.
- Joy, Reflection & Discovery: Whether you want to learn, feel deeply, or just get lost in a beautiful story — we've got a book for that.
- Y'all Are Welcome Here: Lifelong reader or just getting started — this is your space. Come exactly as you are.
STORIES THAT TAKE BACK WHAT'S THEIRS
This Month's Selections
This month, we kept coming back to the same feeling across every pick on our list — women refusing to let their story be written for them. A widow who dares to love again. Two motherless daughters building family on their own terms. Medusa getting her side of the story out after centuries. A survivor who escapes twice and has to figure out what living actually looks like. A girl racing against time to face every truth she's buried.
Kin — Tayari Jones
Historical Fiction · Oprah's Book Club Pick
Tayari Jones is back and she did not miss. Two motherless daughters in the Jim Crow South, a lifelong friendship, and a story about what family really means. Oprah called it a masterpiece. We agree.
They Call Her Regret — Channelle Desamours
YA Speculative Mystery
A Halloween party. A cursed witch. A best friend who dies — and fourteen days to bring her back. This Atlanta author writes magical Black girls like nobody else. Twisty, eerie, and impossible to put down.
I, Medusa — Ayana Gray
Mythology · NYT Bestseller
You thought you knew Medusa. You didn't. Ayana Gray flips the entire myth on its head — this is a story about reclaiming your power after the world tried to take it from you. We could not put it down.
Where the Wildflowers Grow — Terah Shelton Harris
Women's Fiction · Most Anticipated 2026
A fugitive. A flower farm in rural Alabama. A found family built from the wreckage of their own lives. Terah Shelton Harris writes stories that meet you where you are — and this one is her best yet. Keep your tissues close.
Restore Me
J.L. Seegars
A widow. Her late husband's best friend. Twelve years of pretending to hate each other. Y'all — this book has no business being this good. J.L. Seegars is a Black romance author who built her fanbase one swoon at a time, and Bloom Books just gave this story the big release it deserves. Enemies to lovers, love after loss, and enough heat to keep you up past midnight. This is exactly the kind of author we exist to spotlight.
