This little piece of wood is one of my favorite things I found during the bookstore crawl last week. Slide your thumb in the middle, and it helps you hold your book open with one hand. I love it!

pickI enjoyed this poetry collection that @IndoorDame put on my radar with her review. My favorite were the stories where she rewrote the ending of a bad situation.
pickI enjoyed this- it felt like a very quick, urgent read. To me this is more “horrifying“ than “horror“, does that make sense to anyone but me? Haha
I didn't feel chills or get creeped out or scared as some horror books can do to me but the concept was certainly horrifying and intriguing.
I loved Sue's prologue and I look forward to reading more of her works.
pickI love that I wasn‘t the intended audience for this book. It allowed me to really appreciate which pieces hit home because they were completely shared experiences, which resonated deeply from an outsider perspective, and which passed me by because there‘s something in them I still haven‘t seen. #blackhistorymonth
I‘m thinking of using the tagged book for #BookChain #14. My thoughts are both covers have human-ish central figures w text above & below & spiky things in the background.
You think:
A. This makes sense, I should go ahead & add this one to the chain
B. I‘m nuts, these covers look nothing alike, I should add the other book I‘m currently reading to the chain which has zero graphic similarities but also has entirely white & yellow text.
My shortiies book ATM is Electric Arches. Poetry. Mainly. When I decided to tackle my anthologies and poetry books I thought wee little breaks between books but I find myself really trying to absorb the pieces. Do I understand what the author is trying to say? 🤷♂️
pickPart 2 of this Sci-fi invasion trilogy set in Nigeria, 2067. Thompson‘s novel is so gloriously African-centric that America has annexed itself from the rest of the world so there‘s no chance of them “saving the day” or some other “world-police” nonsense. Like book one, wild ideas pack this novel. There‘s action, violence, body horror, aliens and espionage, but this time, none of the chronological jumps that made book one so confusing.
pickI listened to Binti last week and was impressed with how much the author packed into such a short novella! This is my second book by her and I‘m struck by how vivid a picture she paints with her words.
You‘re two for two with #AuldLangSpine picks, @jenniferw88 !
pickLoved this role reversal in this novella where women are in charge and men are the ones at home caring for the children.
One thing that bothered me was the men protesting for the right to masturbate. This is not at all the same as women protesting for abortion choices or to not be subjected to casual sexual assault. Serious health problems can occur from these and the comparison fell flat for me.
Otherwise fantastic quick read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
pickBinti and her worlds captivated me! Although I am not a big science fiction reader, I plan to read the rest of the trilogy. Thank you for inspiring me to pick this up through the #AuthorAMonth challenge, @Soubhiville !
