It's the time of year when people are putting out lists of best books of the year. So why not tell an author you've loved their book this year? Because not being on those lists makes many authors sad. You can make them happy!

1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

One of the best ways to support Black authors is to leave a review. If you bought a book online from Amazon, Waterstones, or another online bookshop, please post your review there. Otherwise, post on your social media or on Goodreads. Thanks❤️.
