I did it again. I didn’t keep a record of the things I read this month. Assume I read a bunch of poems in honor of poetry month, one of which was Warsan Shire’s poem “for women who are difficult to love” and Nicole Sealy’s poem “Object Permanence.” I also read a handful of articles about Prince and Beyoncé, more than a handful actually (and a few Drake articles). I gave up on a few books, and started Helen Oyeyemi‘s latest collection of short stories.

I’m rereading Tananarive Due’s Blood Colony.
How is it? I have Ghost Summer by her, but have only read two stories so far.
It’s a great book! This is my third time reading it.. unless I’ve lost count. The first, My Soul to Keep, is sad. However, all four books in the Living Blood series are riveting – thrillers, love stories, and sociological commentary all at once, in addition falling within the speculative fiction genre.
You must read Presence by Amy Gout!!
That or any Neville books 😘
I looked for that book. Are you sure that’s the author’s last name?
Did you enjoy Delicious Foods?
I did. It was very unique. I anticipate it will win lots of awards based on the writing, plot, and weirdness.
Since we are throwing out book recs, you should read Perfect Peace by Daniel Black.
