Harper, who created the hashtag #DiverseSpines to spotlight titles by Black women and other women of color, and Mount (
My Ideal Bookshelf) joyfully share favorite books by BIPOC writers, in loose categories (classics, mysteries and horror, queer stories, poetry, middle grade, etc.). Interspersed throughout are book recommendations from BIPOC authors and shout-outs to independent bookstores; comments rendered in a handwriting font lend this bright and breezy miscellany an intimate feel. Mount’s colorful, detailed illustrations of authors, book covers, and spines add appeal.
VERDICT Perfect for guiding book clubs or anyone looking to read more inclusively.
