This is a gorgeously told, dystopian novel that should be read. Translated, this moving tale of a woman torn about leaving her few ties & fleeing the plague, all while finding reluctant, and dwindling nourishment from the strange yet ubiquitous "pink slime" food source.

Go get this fantastic reimagining of the Great Gatsby but in the 1940's Black LA community of Sugar Hill. From @crownpublishing.bsky.social & @kyradavis.bsky.social this layers racist history over a classic piece of literature in layers that were seamless and powerful. Great, indeed.

My word for this is "affecting." A powerful story of the "hurt people, hurt people" adage that has just enough hope to keep doing the good in front of you. Beautiful.

A family in decline as they fight the inevitable culture shift away from their source of power. Hyper focused on women's bodies, racist, anti-Semitic, patriarchal ... familiar? #booksky @blackstonepub.bsky.social

I love how horror is so creatively used to expose our inner demons. Here a Black family of siblings contends with the sacrifices made for one another. Compelling debut from MacMillan Audio on Feb 4th! #booksky #neenaviel #ListenToYourSister

Absolutely gripping Gothic suspense with insulated wealthy, technology, revenge, politics, and a bit of a family curse thrown in for good measure. An 4.5 ⭐️ recommendation out this week! You won't know what is real and it will leave you with a nagging discomfort.

Evison has written such a moving and beautiful portrait of marriage. First infatuation/won her over, through the mundane & grief-stricken middle years, and on to the final years when deep love is tested. Out now by Dutton Publishers & @prhaudio.bsky.social who gifted me the superbly done audio.

Dystopian road trip with a communicative raven and cat. A strong premise, if a bit too much Buddhist theology for a novel. Still, a unique addition to the genre. I preferred the written to the audio on this one.
