Join is today as we discuss #AfricaRisen!! 445PM to 5PM Pregame with @isisasare and @brisbookish!!! 5PM to 6PM @shereereneethomas, @authorzknight, and @penprince gives us the behind the scenes on editing Africa Risen! Reposted from @seahorsestories 🚀Book Tour and Review🚀 Thank you so much to @tordotcompub, @shereereneethomas, @penprice, and @authorzknight for providing the Weirdos and I from @b2weird with finished copies of Africa Risen! I'm so glad we could do a tour for this beautiful story collection. Africa Risen is a speculative fiction collection full of beautifully written stories by BIPOC authors! As with any short story collection, there were certain stories I enjoyed more than others, but I really loved this collection overall. There was only one author I was already familiar with going into Africa Risen, so this book introduced me to quite a few new-to-me writers that I will definitely be keeping an eye out for! Here are some VERY brief and honestly insufficient descriptions of a few of my favorite stories from Africa Risen: "March Magic" by WC Dunlap: A group of witches gather to conjure a dream into reality.  "IRL" by Steven Barnes: A virtual reality kingpin burns his digital empire to the ground to revenge an IRL attack on his family.  "Rear Mirror" by Nuzo Onoh: A group of priests face off against the spirit of a dead woman who does not want to be cremated.  "The Sugar Mill" by Tobias B. Buckell: A real estate agent tries to sell a former sugar mill but is haunted by the ghosts of those who died there.  "Ghost Ship" by Tananarive Due: A woman smuggling an illegal cat onto a ship finds that getting caught with the pet is the least of her worries during the voyage. This is only a few of the stories I loved! There were some I couldn't even begin to try describing in one sentence. Africa Risen is available now!

Check these book clubs out that @musingsonliving has been enjoying lately. Maybe something will pique your interest!

“…an untongued people cannot tell their story. But neither can the dead.” - Moses Ose Utomi, The Lies of the Ajungo 🌵🐪

✨ This is my introduction to the writing of Moses Ose Utomi, and it didn’t disappoint. This 86-page novella packs a punch with haunting writing and questions woven within questions that keeps you reading. THE LIES OF THE AJUNGO has a vivid and distinct world; and I definitely plan on reading more in this series (book 2 has been confirmed!), and I plan on reading more from Moses Ose Utomi.

✨ My tour stop for the @b2weird tour for THE LIES OF THE AJUNGO by Moses Ose Utomi. Thanks @tordotcompub for the ARC.

We are here for the #booksandbrunch vibe, Courtney!!! Super excited for Sistah Scifi Wine Down Wednesday with cohost M'Shai Dash and special guest Leslye Penelope! You can order preorder signed copies of The Monsters We Defy. Link in bio: @sistahscifi | www.sistahscifi.com. Better yet, check it out from your local #library. Reposted from @court_of_alchemy Did someone say HEIST?! Started The Monsters We Defy by @leslyepenelope while eating brunch this weekend! I love a heist book, especially when there is magic! Check out synopsis below. Huge thanks to @orbitbooks_us and @b2weird for the tour copy! Keep and eye out for the #B2Wtours both here on Instagram and also over on TikTok! * Synopsis: Washington D. C., 1925: Clara Johnson can talk to spirits—a gift that saved her during her darkest moments, now a curse that’s left her indebted to the cunning spirit world. So when a powerful spirit offers her an opportunity to gain her freedom, Clara seizes the chance, no questions asked. The task: steal a magical ring from the wealthiest woman in the District. Clara can’t pull off this daring heist alone. She’ll need the help of an unlikely team, from a handsome jazz musician able to hypnotize with a melody to an aging actor who can change his face, to pull off the impossible. But as they race along DC’s legendary Black Broadway, conflict in the spirit world begins to leak into the human one—an insidious mystery is unfolding, one that could cost Clara her life and change the fate of an entire city. * #B2WTours #B2Weird #TheMonstersWeDefy #SFF #SFFbooks #NewBooks #UpcomingRelease #bookstagram #BookTour #books #SistahScifi #LeslyePenelope // @hachetteus https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgrf8R4rLgB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are signed copies of Fevered Star available for purchase! Reposted from @locpressedbooks_ “We are but fevered stars,” he intoned, like an orator on a stage. “Here a little while, bright with promise, before we burn away.” ☀️🪶🌊 I can’t even begin to thank @sagasff, @rebeccaroanhorse and @b2weird for sending me this beautiful gifted copy of #FeveredStar! ☀️🪶🌊 “She was the handmaiden of the sun god, and the coyote stood at her right hand. And together they would remake Tova.” ☀️🪶🌊 I would have to say that my favorite character right now is definitely Naranpa. Naranpa came up in this story, and while in the first book I didn’t hate her, she was very naïve and insecure. About her position, about her status and while she knew some ppl weren’t in her corner, it took her too long to figure that out and it hurt her in the end. But in #FeveredStar she really cemented herself as a true force to be reckoned with in this sequel. From falling off the cliff at Sun Rock and making a true name for herself as the badass Sun Priestess, Naranpa has definitely grown and I find myself stuck between the two opposing sides here. I love them both. I can’t wait to see what will happen in the third book. And folks, the full cast audiobook is amazing, book one and book two do not disappoint. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .
