This is Books for Black Kids
The directory has 2,600+ books (and growing) with a Black author and/or Black protagonist.

With 160+ categories, hopefully you can find a book that speaks to you.

I've been working on this for about a year.

This is another personal project of mine, a resource directory for US citizens in Europe.

That's the goal, more or less.

USA in Europe @usaineurope.bsky.social · Jun 10

UsaInEurope.com will someday be a resource directory for US citizens in Europe.
For the time being, that resource will be me—a US citizen and Spanish long-term resident.

I've been in Madrid for 12 years. Here's how:
