This Black History Month, we spotlight the Black Bestseller List, a resource from our friends at . The Black Bestseller List is an invaluable resource for readers, librarians, educators and more to explore and discover new books by Black authors as well as celebrate the success of these works. Sales data is gathered through Circana Bookscan, which represents U.S. print sales from thousands of retailers and books are categorized and filtered for Black Authors by the African American Literature Book Club. Titles that have hit #1 recently in the Black Bestseller List include James by Percival Everett in Adult Fiction, Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper in Juvenile Fiction, and Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds in Young Adult Fiction. Bestselling books are compiled in eight categories, including a monthly and annual list of all bestselling books. Learn more: https://aalbc.com/blackbestsellers/
