Black Boy SFFH

A few things:

  1. The list is in alphabetical order by author’s last name. The books under the author’s names are grouped by series or just randomly put in there for now. Black authors are in red. 
  2. The single books are ones where I could only find one book written by the author with a Black man/boy/masculine protagonist. I may find others, and if/when I do, they will be added to the larger list. They are in alphabetical order by title (excluding articles, like a, an, the). 
  3. Book reviews are now housed on my Goodreads account because it’s much easier to update. Access the reviews and add me as a friend!
