I was on threads this morning and saw a post asking people if they’ve recently read any books by black female authors. I thought to myself, surely in my 20 books I’ve read this year, or 50 I read last year, I have to have read one. I was unpleasantly mistaken!

With that realization in mind, I’d like to diversify my reading and hear some of your favorite books. I typically tend to skew towards historical fiction, thriller, WLW books, but open to people’s favorite recs.

Thank you for your time and recommendations! I appreciate you all!

(PS, sorry if this is a frequently asked question or there have been posts about this already, feel free to point me in those directions/add new recs too!!)

Edit: adding Sci-fi and litfic to my fav genres too!!! Y’all seriously did not disappoint with the recs. I have books lined up for the next year easily! Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful responses :) trying to respond to them all, but just know my Goodreads TBR has grown astronomically.

Howdy everyone! ACLR with quad graft. I had my 6 week post op appointment with my surgeon today and it went really well! I just wanted to share that it does get better and that putting in the work with PT makes ALL the difference.

My surgeon was super excited with my progress and gave me clearance to drive, swim, elliptical, treadmill, stair master (if I’m up for it lol) and travel. I’m still on one crutch and have a brace while walking, but really hoping I get cleared from them at PT on Monday!

If anyone has any tips for good pool workouts at 6 weeks, I’m all ears.

It’s crazy to think how slooooow the first two weeks were and how quickly things are going since. I can’t believe I’ll soon be 2 months post op, and then (according to my surgeon) jogging at my next appointment in 6 weeks.

Anyways, hope everyone here is having a great day, and if you aren’t right now, know it’s okay, it will get better, and you’re still doing a great job :)
