5 Incredible Sci-Fi Fantasy YA Fiction Books by Black Authors to Read in 2021 | Blackathon Wrap Up

If you’ve been looking for books from Black Authors that aren’t just guides on how to talk about racism (important of course) or if you just want some new awesome book recommendations then stick around to hear about some of my favorite/top fantasy, science fiction, and YA fiction books of 2021 that happen to be by Black authors. They also have LGBTQ+ characters! Black queer fantasy, sci-fi, and YA fiction books? Yes, please. ☺️

I do reviews/recommendations that give you a little nugget of what to expect and what I loved or disliked without spoiling the book for the following:

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender: 00:38
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn: 02:05
The Lesson by Cadwell Turnbull 06:06
Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds: 07:45
Slay by Brittany Morris: 09:03
And a bonus that includes essays by Black people but is not by a Black Author (it’s a collection of essays): Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity. Edited by Micah Rajunov and Scott Duane 12:10

If you liked the song in the video, my album, Good Enough, is a delightful mix of violin pop and instrumental pop in the style of Lindsey Stirling or DSharp and singer-songwriter tracks in the style of musicians such as Sara Bareilles, Emeli Sande, and Yuna.

Good Enough is now available on:

Bandcamp (the best way to support independent musicians like me): https://avanessmusic.bandcamp.com/alb...
