Overview

I want to increase the black authors I read. This can be done in any format (audio, kindle, paperback or hard-core etc.).  And it can be any language, translated English or your native language. 

Since people have a variety of genres they are interested in. I won't be setting certain authors, you can choose your own authors, and genres, that way you are more likely to finish the challenge as you will be reading books you are more likely interested in.

This is a 12 book challenge. You can either read or listen to one book a month, or you van smash it out quickly. But this number was chosen to be less overwhelming.
