BLACK GUYS DO READ - Book Reviews Blog

This is primarily a blog of book reviews. I simply just love reading and I like to record my informal thoughts and reviews on books that I come across. I prefer books with very high stakes so I mostly read crime, noir, and horror/sci-fi, but I enjoy any great story. I'll go for anything as long as it's good!

*Explanation of the Blog Title: A friend mentioned that there is a stereotype that most black men don't read fiction. Well, I'm here to prove otherwise!
