The most read books on Good Adreads this week

The best five most read books on Good Adreds this week seem quite familiar, and it is because they are the same as last week, just with # 2 and # 3 exchanged. To make it more interesting, I also added the five most popular books on The Storygraph this week. This is not an individual comparison, because the most popular books on The Storygraph include titles that have been added as read, not only the most. There is overlap between the two, but there are also some differences.
What the two lists have in common, however, is a lack of colored authors. So before entering the most read and popular books of the week, let’s highlight some new versions that you should know.
Two new books this week, you should know
Unfortunately, the most read books on GoodDeads tend not to be diversified by any definition of the word. Here are some new books this week that deserve a wider readership, recommended by Erica Ezeifedi.
![]() Zealous by Morgan JerkinsJerkins’ (Baby caul) The last has this vital duality. These are the lasting consequences of slavery, just like the power of love. We are in 1865, and Harrison came out of the Union army as a free man, then he tries to find his love, shooting. His plans reorganized, however, after having settled with another woman after a tragedy. Then there is Tirzah, who teaches at the Freedman school. She sees an announcement in the newspaper in research and knows that Harrison research, but the state of the world, despite its new freedom, means that bringing it together is full of risks. The story of Jerkins sweeps away the generations and 150 years later, in 2019, Harlem, Ardelia and Oliver organize their fiançailles feast, and it gives it an aged and aged love letter. The question of whether their connection was a kind of cosmic reconciliation, began there are generations, arises. |
![]() Medicine River: a story of survival and the inheritance of Indian boarding schools by Mary Annette PemberThis recounts the very deliberate effort to destroy First Nations communities and cultures through cultural genocide. From the mid -1800s to the late 1930s, tens of thousands of Aboriginal American children were stolen from their families and forced to go to internets sponsored by the United States government – and who practically had no regulations. In schools, they were mistreated and discouraged to engage in their traditions and culture through violence. Ojibwe journalist Mary Pember explores the long-term ramifications of the attendance of these loveless institutions, detailing how her mother, having attended one, prepared the field for a heavy mother-daughter dynamic. |
