Cinfhen I haven‘t read her before…what else do u recommend ??? 11mo

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I've read 2 others by her - A is for Arsenic (about Agatha Christie and the poisons she uses in her novels) and Death by Shakespeare (about his methods of killing his characters). There's also books about vampires, James Bond, scientific molecules and elements, but I haven't read them yet! 11mo

Kindred | Octavia Butler

pick

This was a heavy read, but worth it. I know Octavia Butler wrote mainly sci-fi, but this to me felt like historical fiction (but with time travel). Painful to read at times, so accurate that it made my heart hurt. Written in 1979 but some eerie parallels to our current society and world. #booked2023 #afrofuturism #tbrtarot #pictureonspine

TheBookHippie I agree. I‘ve read it twice. 12mo

KathyWheeler They did a decent job with the graphic novel adaptation as well. 12mo

CBee @KathyWheeler there is also a series on Hulu I think? 12mo

CBee @TheBookHippie I don‘t know if I could read it twice, it was so tough at times. But worth it! Not one I‘ll soon forget. 12mo

TheBookHippie @CBee I read it when it came out and then last year with a student. Couple of decades in between helps. 12mo

KathyWheeler @CBee I think so, but I haven‘t seen it yet. 12mo

CBee @TheBookHippie 💚 12mo

CBee @KathyWheeler I‘m not sure I could watch it… 12mo

KathyWheeler @CBee I know what you mean. 12mo

BarbaraTheBibliophage @CBee @KathyWheeler From what I read, the series heavily modifies Butler‘s original. Not sure it‘s for the better, as I also didn‘t feel like I was up for watching. 12mo

CBee @BarbaraTheBibliophage ah, okay. I think I‘ll definitely pass on it then. 12mo
