10 Bestselling Nonfiction Books
Period: May/June - 2024
Celebrating books written by or about Black people, the African American Literature Book Club’s Bestsellers List has been published continuously since 1998. In 2026, we began publishing our list quarterly, focusing on The BLK Bestsellers.
Percival Everett’s satirical novel James tops all fiction titles this period. Hoke S. Glover III (Bro. Yao) and V. Efua Prince explain how Black history is “crazy as hell,” in the #1 nonfiction title. When I Wrap My Hair by Shauntay Grant and Illustrated by Jenin Mohammed is the #1 bestselling book across all genres.
