Does anyone know of any authors that were born in Africa?
I am new to the Adult fantasy genre of books. I picked up 'Soul Keeper' by David Dalglish. It's pretty interesting and definitely a polar opposite of what I normally read. So far so good.
bit behind on my watching of reviews, and now I've five books more on my to read list, thank you — some I did find at the time, but in particular the short story collections didn't make it to Australia. (and yes, I watched to the end, where you ask to mention the Moon)
I have about 3 of these books in my amazon chart right now because of this review. The little nerdy black girl inside of me THANKS you sis. 🌕🌻
I’m a couple of years late but I enjoyed this video. Moon because I watched the whole video.
I’ve read some of these but can’t wait to look up some of the others you recommended! 🌙
Well done.
Appreciate you and your review. Moon 🌗🌑
Thanking the moon that I happened across you page! I am part of a black book club and I completely jacked your list to suggest our next (few) books! lol This is so helpful, we are all busy with life and were having a hard time coming up with things to read!! THANKS SO MUCH! I'm definitely subscribing to this channel!
moon. Thank you for your selection. I'm excited and looking forward to your 2020 and 2021 selections.
yooooooo! ELYSIUM is so good! it's one of those books i try to get everyone to read, awesome
You have totally laid forth my 2021 sci-fi reading list. I've only read Fledgling and I am So ready for new-to-me black sci-fi 🖤💚💚

Greetings. I enjoyed your review of titles to read of 2019. I found your channel on a search for black sci-fi book reviews. I currently read comic books and graphic novels but am looking to expand my interests. Thank you for the authors and titles to begin my journey.
🌚🌙🌜
What a great list with a lot of books that I had never even heard before. I think I a most intrigued by the short fictions you mentioned especially Two Moons.
🌙
I just bought the deep! Excited to read
this was a great list. I haven't read allot of these authors.
I have read Octavia Butler and I love everything she did. I also read and really enjoyed Tanana Reed Do's Skin folk. it was an incredible read and the first time i was introduced to stories of that nature. and just for you…I am looking forward to reading Two Moons by crystal a. Smith.
Great video. thank you. blessings.
thank you for all the great suggestions. I just finished “Monday’s Not Coming” and I’m still trying to get myself together. 😭 I’m actually going to try reading, “Two Moons” because short stories are my favorite writing style to read.💛
Moon! I wrote a story called Have you seen the Goddess Naked? (it's in the Green Egg Omelette anthology of 2009) that features the moon as the paramour of God's widow – narrated by her son. Thank you for the reviews on so many books – I will buy Two Moons immediately and others as well – probably Filter House and one of the anthologies, since I like a variety of authors within a single book.
Ok I added like all of these to my TBR lol. They all sound incredible. They’re moontacular!!
Moon <3
I don't know whether it's the way you describe them or the fact that those books are great but currently I'm trying to figure out how to read 6 book at the same time. Also, moon!
I love this video and you and these recommendations so much. I was just looking at the sun in awe, amazement, and love today so the mention of falling in love with the moon hit right home for me. An author's courage never ceases to amaze me. Writing about things many of us have felt but might feel too bashful to put words to. Gotta love it.
