@whatupsisi: Here’s 11 books that I think will be considered black classics in the future. What do you think of my list? What would you add? What would you remove? #BookTok #booksuggestions #kin #allthesinnersbleed #chaingangallstars
I'd toss Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi into the ring as a contender for a Black classic!

Kin and An American Marriage by Tayari Jones ROCKED MY WORLD. Top-tier writing and so absolutely heart-wrenching.

The keeper of last children by Sadiqua Johnson. It was one of my five star for 2026 extremely well written and I agree Kin is definitely going to be a Black classic it reads like poetry.
