okay readerfriends, please to recommend me your top three books by POC in any of my genres. I just saw someone’s FB favorite authors with portraits and they were all old white men and I cringed.

my genres are:

• humorous and/or epic scifi – examples, The Icarus Hunt, Hyperion, The Android’s Dream, The Alien Chronicles
• urban fantasy, but very specifically: Daughter of Smoke and Bone (and sequels), or Good Omens
• YA fantasy, but pretty specifically: Graceling series
• science and technology non-fiction
• erotica – literary, lgbt-friendly, preferring hopeful endings to “everything goes to shit”
• myths, folktales, and fairy tales
• alternative/magical history, a la Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell

that would be very appreciated – I’m attempting to broaden my library of perspectives! thanks!!
