AALBC Bestseller Seal
Celebrating Black stories and authors since 1998, the AALBC Bestsellers List is now published quarterly. Here’s a printable list and collage of this period’s titles. Also check out the BLK Bestsellers—the definitive monthly guide to America’s bestselling books by Black writers.

The Lagos Wife by Vanessa Walters is not only #1 on our fiction list, but it is also the #1 book overall. The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates was the bestselling book on our nonfiction list even before its publication date — based upon presales alone. Stacey Speaks Up by Stacey Abrams and Illustrated by Kitt Thomas tops our children’s list this period.
