I think I like The Dragon Republic, book 2 of the Poppy War trilogy more than book 1 👀

Loved this one! 🥰

🙌🙌

One of my AirPods just dropped in the sink and now is not working.. how am I supposed to fall asleep without an audiobook now?! 😢

Rereading The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem and it’s still hitting the same as the first time I read it! This is the most true enemies to lovers I’ve ever read 🥰 Also love this Egyptian inspired world.. #booksky #romantasy

Wait if the man decides the gender why are the women blamed when it’s not a boy?!?!?! 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🤨

Started this book today and 2 chapters in I can tell it’s gonna be a 5 star. From introduction: “This book is a story about a strong-arm robbery. It is about family and friends trying to recover what was stolen. It is the testimony, and the verdict that a jury of our peers has never heard.”

🥳🥳

It makes no sense to me!! Like this is so much better than those crazy popular ones..

Yesss 👏

I’m 25% into Vicious Bonds by Shanora Williams and how the hell does this book only have 2200+ reviews on Goodreads?! That banter is constantly making me smile and kick my feet 🤭🤭 Like how are people crying at Target about that one poorly written book when THIS romantasy exists 🤔

Betty by @mcdanieltiffany.bsky.social

Devastatingly beautiful… Appalachian coming of age story of a Cherokee girl ❤️💔

Omg so many new friends! Welcome! Just so we’re all on the same page, here is what you’ll find on my page:

1. We read diversely here all year long and not just during history months.
2. Reading is political.
3. Audiobooks count as reading.

Agreed and SAME 😭 Will read everything she writes…

When I went to her Heir launch event she literally included tissues in the goodie bag 😭😭

I’m doing it this year! One book a month 😍 I have a Fable club dedicated for it if you’d like to join me for any of it!

My #Booktok account is mistakenly set in Poland and TikTok has refused to fix it. But now it seems my account might survive because it’s on a European server?!?! 🤣🤣

Second 5⭐️ read of 2025:

Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. Completely blew me away.

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for an eARC! Opinion is my own. #booksky

What I better way to end the year than by reading the best book of my life.. #booksky

My worlds are African worlds. I'd love to take credit for the culture that is in my worlds' DNA, but I can't. Those cultures existed long before me;I didn't have to imagine them. And my stories certainly don't exist because white male (or female ... let's not forget that white female perspectives also dominate female perspectives in science fiction and fantasy) perspectives refused to imagine them first. My stories aren't a " to whiteness. They exist wholly outside of white-male-anything. These stories that come from my own culture, experiences, from within me, from reflections of specific African cultures. By existing, I'd hope they help bring cultural, ethnic and gender balance to science fiction and fantasy, but that is not my work's reason to exist.

This was my response in The Guardian 3 years ago when I was asked if my work was a response to the prevalence of whiteness in science fiction.

I’m totally patting “January 2021 Nnedi” on the back. Yes, Nnedi. So much yes, 🙌🏾 :
