15 Book Club Books by BIPOC Authors (Being Read This Month)
Every month Book Club for Masochists: A Readers’ Advisory Podcast chooses a genre at random and we read and discuss books from that genre. We also put together book lists for each episode/genre that feature works by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Colour) authors. All of the lists can be found here.
The books below are being read by book clubs in September 2025, so you can read along with them! The group reading the book is included in parentheses.
