Wrapping up work for the week & getting into this #SpookySeason2025 audiobook. A review said this is “an American Indian revenge story” so I’m ready for a good dose of horror, history, & vindication. Can’t have #SpookySeason without #vampires.

Libby is playing in my face right now. Several audiobooks on hold, each with multiple weeks (months!) wait time. 🫤 Nothing current on my wish list is available.
So I’m going to revisit one of my favorite childhood books - Juniper by Monica Furlong.

Listening to the next book in the series - Monica Furlong’s Wise Child.
The fact that I loved these books as a child says a lot about my interests as an adult.
Definitely aiming to be like Juniper when I grow up. 😁

I finished “The Possession of Alba Díaz,” and I just want @isabelcanas.bsky.social to know that her take on the possession/exorcism subgenre is perfect. I won’t give spoilers, but the plot resolution is so satisfying.
Also, the cover is gorgeous. Get into it.

I may have found a new favorite narrator. #DominicHoffman gives a masterful reading of @percivaleverett.bsky.social’s novel James. Huckleberry Finn was one of my favorite childhood books, & I’m enjoying the story from James’ (Jim’s) perspective.

A book that blends science and cultural history will always catch my eye.
This is my background noise for today.
(The text is interesting, but I’m not a fan of the narrator. Hate when that happens.) #ZodiReads #NowReading #PeriodicTales

Re-reading #TheBookOfJuJu by @itsjujubae.bsky.social as we head into the weekend. I appreciate how she makes her historical overviews accessible and straightforward, not pedantic. This book is a great resource for anyone interested in spirituality across the Diaspora.

I did not intend to add this book to my #SpookySeason2025 reading list, but after finishing it just now…
🤬😢💔
We will never comprehend the horrors of slavery. The horrors of white folks. Their utter depravity.
A superb, terrifying novel: Night Everywhere We Go by Tracey Rose Peyton

This biography has been on my list for a couple of years. I discovered #AliceDunbarNelson in grad school, but could not find many texts about her life. Thankful that Dr. Tara T. Green helped remedy that.

I added Eden Royce’s Psychopomp and Circumstance to my #SpookySeason2025 reading list.
Listening to Bahni Turpin’s impeccable narration for the audiobook.
I love the world the author created here.

In need of something more lighthearted today, so I’m getting into ‘The Davenports: More Than This’ by @/krystalmarquis.bsky.social.
If you’re a fan of Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte or The Guilded Age’s Peggy Scott, you’ll probably like this series. #ZodiReads #BlackBookSky #BlackRomance #Audiobooks

The trigger warning for this audiobook is HILARIOUS. 🤣 This is my escape-from-the-real-world read for the weekend.
@jcageauthor.bsky.social definitely has a hit on her hands, & Tempest Mensah is an excellent narrator.

This book right here? 🤯
I was not expecting such a layered exploration of resilience & family dynamics wrapped within a haunted house story. Tugged my heartstrings AND creeped me out.
Carissa Orlando wrote the hell out of the protagonist. Brava!

I recently finished O.O. Sangoyomi’s #Masquerade, & it is still on my mind. I’m so happy that we are seeing more stories set in pre-colonial Africa! The plot had me hooked. I need the sequel, the big-budget series, the merch, all of it. #ZodiReads

Next up, #WeRefuse by Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson (@/kcarterjackson.bsky.social).
I’m interested to see how this text diverges from This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed by Charles E. Cobb (2014).

So far, I have finished “The Buffalo Hunter Hunter” and “Blood Slaves.”
Next up is “The Possession of Alba Diaz” for my #SpookySeason2025 reading. Perfect timing. I’m in the mood for #horromance.

I don’t track this book in my StoryGraph & Fable because I read it piecemeal. But I refer to it often because it provides accessible overviews for life skills we’ve forgotten. Spending some time with it tonight while I have my tea. #ZodiReads #NowReading
