 I LOVE ZELIE!!! No, but seriously, she is my favorite. ?Zelie is depicted throughout this book with resilience to continue despite the odds constantly being stack against her. She is a bit rough, yet something inside her radiates with strength and beauty. Might it be magic?!?!? She is athletic, morally intelligent, and the “Major Key” (Dj. Khaled's voice) to getting magic back. What‘s not to love? 

mavey Zélie Supremacy!!🥳💪🏻 Have you started the second book? You'll love it even more! Happy Reading! 3y

Box in the Woods | Maureen Johnson

I enjoyed listening to The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson. I was able to guess the individual who was responsible for certain events that happen within this audiobook, yet the reason why they did it was unexpected.

I was anticipating more from Hiram Walker's mysterious power. Ultimately, I felt my attention while reading this book was constantly out of focus. I wanted to be interested in the plot, yet I found myself not feeling connected to the characters or their stories.

Akata Warrior | Nnedi Okorafor

Akata Warrior is an action-packed continuation of Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor. Characters such as Sunny Nwazue, Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha had me laughing, worried, and sometimes annoyed. I also learned that the wasp artist I met in the first book is named Della. I love Della, that wasp is a  world-class artisan that can create majestic pieces of art. Overall, Akata Warrior is a nice fantasy/fictional read that is exciting and imaginative.

The Black God's Drums | P. Djeli Clark

P. Djèllí Clark did a wonderful job with this novella. New Orleans, the characters, and the alternative historical aspect gave excitement to this extraordinary fantasy. The plot pace never left me feeling bored, and the story just flowed nicely. Every bit of action within this book left me anticipating the next scene. This is an exhilarating short story that I am delightfully happy I was able to read.

The Deep | Rivers Solomon, Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, Jonathan Snipes

This is a compact novella that has a unique take on history, memory, and slavery. The history of the wajinru is painfully traumatic, yet beautiful in some aspects. Yetu must remember for all wajinru. Yetu try‘s to be strong despite her fleeting bravery as the remembering slowly takes over her identity. I could continue buuutttt... I think this book is worth reading and pulling your own thoughts and feelings.

Friday Black | NANA KWAME. ADJEI-BRENYAH

Pickpick

Friday Black is a thought provoking anthology. Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah created a book I could relate to while being extremely heart-struck, furious , and to my surprise joyful about. The Finkelstein 5 is the first story within Friday Black, and it sets the mood for an amazingly unique collection of stories. Adjei-Brenyah is a talented young author with the ability to write wildly relatable characters, and I anticipate his future pieces of work.

Akata Witch | Nnedi Okorafor

I enjoyed Akata Witch from start to finish. I appreciated the details about the "free agent" and how it allowed the reader to feel like they just got magical powers and were also classified as a free agent. My favorite characters were Chichi and artist wasp. They both had me laughing, and I relished artist wasp's small but unforgettable part within Akata Witch. Ultimately, to keep it short, Nnedi Okorafor did an incredible job on this book.
