What were Black women reading in the 90s? 📚✨

In this episode of Well Read Wool, we take a nostalgic dive into my mom’s 90s bookshelf — from self-help and anthologies to bold, boundary-pushing erotica, all by Black authors. We talk about how these books shaped her reading life and the impact they still have today.

We also chat about the TV shows we’re currently watching, book-to-screen adaptations, and more cozy mother-daughter conversations.

If you love Black literature, nostalgic reading lists, and knitting + bookish content, this episode is for you. 🧶
