In case you missed it over the weekend, the 48th NAACP Image Awards aired this weekend. Although literary awards are not televised, there are awards given to recognize excellence in books that are written by black authors. There are eight categories ranging from literary fiction to children's fiction. I am featuring some of the adult categories here, but if you are interested in the three that I am not highlighting just click on the above link to see all of the categories, including the ones featured in the award ceremony. I love looking through the long and short lists for literary awards, especially those featuring diversity. I actually found a few titles that I had not seen, which is always exciting. I hope that you find something interesting to add to your TBR here!
