One of the best things about the holidays is being able to catch up on reading. If it’s Christmas books, that’s just extra whipped cream on the sweet potato pie. Here are a few stories by African-American authors to keep you reading all season long. Plus, in honor of the holiday season, Magic City Momma is giving away a $50 Amazon gift card.
