Constantly reading. I love all genres, but lean towards sci-fi/fantasy. Obsessed with The Locked Tomb. Previously @itzyG@bookwyrm.social

NK Jemisin is an incredibly good writer. This book makes me feel the injustice happening to these charters in such a strong way, that I have to take breaks. This book also celebrates black joy, and the important place various cultures have in our cities. This book feels like a victory lap, and after winning 3 straight Hugos, Jemisin continued on to show why she is one of the best writers of our time.

Nona Loves You

I love this book so much. This series really benefits from having read the whole thing in a row, and this is the first time I've read it like this. This story is so much about love and how we love those around us, specifically this book is about the love between a found family and how important it is to care for those around us especially in tough times. The story is so touching, and Muir balances it perfectly with her brand of humor. I was laughing through my tears. "Life is too short and love is too long" "You can't take loved away"
