We had so much fun chatting with Kayla and Aziza, two fourths of @thereadingblackgirls for our very first Bookmergency interview episode! We dove into the origin story of The Reading Black Girls, their mission to amplify Black authors and authors of color, and the realities of navigating a publishing world still shaped by systemic racism. We also got into all the book lover favorites: hot takes, comfort reads, must-read authors, and what’s currently topping our TBRs! Oh—and for the first time ever... this episode is completely SPOILER-FREE! So if you’ve been wanting to check out Bookmergency but haven’t read the books we usually cover, this is your perfect intro. Huge thanks to TRBG for joining us and for building such an incredible platform that keeps our TBRs growing every day.
