Here on Book Riot, we’ve started to have a recurring round-up that looks at the most popular books on Goodreads for a particular week. Goodreads, with its 140+ million members, is the largest social reading site, and so is a naturally good source for learning what’s going on in these reading streets.

But once I started looking through the list, I had to keep scrolling until I got to BIPOC authors, and before I knew it, the list was over. So, I shimmied on over to Storygraph to see if their members had more diverse literary leanings. Turns out they did, and if you’re interested in comparing, I’ve got the most popular BIPOC books on Goodreads and Storygraph this week.
