This month’s bookish links have been selected by Team BB in support of Black Lives Matter.

We recognise that there is so much more we can do as a team to educate ourselves and amplify black voices, and one way we can do so is by reading books and sharing recommendations with you here at BB. We must all continue to diversify our reading lists, keep listening, learning and sharing our support. Team BB are committed to doing so not just for now but for always, and hope that you will pledge to do the same.
