A book cover for “The Darkness Outside Us” by Eliot Schrefer. The cover depicts two men facing each other. The man on the left has darker skin and short, wavy brown hair. He is wearing what looks to be a white tank top. The man on the right has lighter skin, shaggier and darker hair, and is taller than the man on the left. They are in front of a circular window looking out into space. The title is in front of them, and there is a header, “Absolutely Brilliant,” —Malinda Lo, National Book Award winner and author of Last Night at the Telegraph Club. It has a Stonewall Honor Books award sticker on the left side.

13/25 for my #25in2025 #horror #booksky is Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi A fairy tale centered around a family’s odyssey from a country that may just be mythical to London. The imagery is full and complex, and it definitely calls for more than one reading. But it is worth the effort.

This is an phenomenal slightly dystopian novel by @samantaschweblin.bsky.social

An excellent read for number 21 of #25in2025 #BookSky

So many parallels to draw from modern technology and the human complex. I’ve selected this as our October book of the month for my classroom’s #AudioBookClub

Been doing these since 2020 - lockdown - so an average of five a year for five years.
