Below is a list of some 2012 releases by female authors of color. I was contemplating doing this list in November but kept putting it off because I knew it would be a lot of work. I finally decided to do it anyway. There are some really great novels by female authors of color coming out this year and I would love to see this list grow. So if you know of any more do share.
I wouldn't expect anyone to click on all of the titles but I hope that anyone reading this will be curious about at least one or at best three of the titles.

I'm so excited to see these! Especially the Zadie Smith!!
What a lot of lovely looking books! I'm adding The Black Isle to my list for sure, but lots of the others are tempting as well.
Carleen - I am psyched about so many of these. I recently finished The World We Found by Umrigar and really enjoyed it.
Charlotte - I love the cover for Black Isle and that the story has ghosts. It also sounds like it may have some teen crossover appeal.
