Top 10 BIPOC Books of 2025

A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna
Cosy, cute, found family, zombie rooster. My top BIPOC read of the year, and I blurbed the proof!

Red City by Marie Lu
Rival alchemists, one Chinese, one Indian. An incredible fantasy world with high stakes and a heart-wrenching romance.
(S)kin by Ibi Zoboi
A verse novel about Caribbean fire witches, family secrets, and two teenage girls trying to survive their inner nature.
The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones
An incredible indigenous historical vampire book, the writing is dense but impeccable.
Wicked Flavors by Azalea Crowley
An autistic doll collector strikes a supernatural deal with a mysterious antique dealer with a cane (both are also mixed heritage). Absolute carnage ensues.
Dulhaniyaa by Talia Bhatt
A Desi lesbian romance with a transfemme love interest. Dancing, romance and bonkers Bollywood vibes.
Songs for Ghosts by Clara Kumagai
A queer Japanese boy finds a century old diary of a woman who sings for ghosts. Beautiful Madam Butterfly retelling.
Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
Two PhD students, one Chinese, travel to academic hell to find their supervisor. It’s basically one long in-joke/nod to academia, which I enjoyed, but definitely not for everyone!
Here to Slay by Radhika Sanghani
Buffy but with sapphic British-Indian demon slayers. SO fun.
Marigold Mind Laundry by Junguen Yun
A bittersweet, melancholy Korean fantasy about a lonely immortal woman opening a laundry to wash away people’s bad memories, finding a new family along the way.

Happy New Year everyone!
