Book review: A magical girl retires by Park Seolyeon.
Fully recommending this book.
Not your regular magical girl story.
When becoming a magical girl is a necessity.
It's a quick and interesting read.
Check the trigger warnings before start if you are so inclined.

Book review: Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah 5🌟 & 😢
This book was a hard read not because the book was bad but because it was written so well and the subject matter in the book was just emotionally taxing. Because I can see this happening in the soon near future.

The roller-coaster of emotions and happening in this book knocked me TF out. I am going to need a few to recover.

NetGalley ARC Book review: Devil of the Deep by Falencia Jean-Francois 4🌟
Always question what you are taught. That is the message I got from this book.
It was a slow start, but it payed at the twist and the answers flowed out and their stories intertwined.

Book Review: At the Fount Of Creation by Tobi Ogundiran 5⭐
Book 2 of the duology.

Great story about the choices you make and the consequences that follow, well intentions or not. Battle between Orishas & humanity and the entanglements between them.

Book Review: What We Fed To The Manitcore by Talia Lakshmi Kolluri 4🌟
A book of short stories where you get Interpersonal connections and communications from a different perspectives.

Audiobook version: VC was good, clear and it helps get fully immersed in the stories.

A few of my favorite recent books to recommend and why the Caribbean book scene is popping against limited resources and long odds:

Debut novel 'The God of Good Looks' adds to growing canon of Caribbean literature
A growing number of high-profile novels are coming out of the Caribbean and the Caribbean diaspora. And the region has long been punching above its weight on the international literary scene.

This ARC read ' In Deadly Company' by L.S. Stratton was good. The book will be coming out in September. I really enjoy the story as is. If you like a good mystery to solve. This is your book.
