Last time, I was raving about N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy. This time, I'm all about Rivers Solomon. Two books in, and I'm sure I'll read and love anything they put out. Stephen Graham Jones was new to me but I was knocked out by "Good Indians" and see why it created a buzz when it was published a few years ago.
In a different vein, I'm still working on my list of "Classics to Catch Up On." I finished everything on my list of ancient works and am doing medieval classics now, thus Le Morte d'Arthur. As I wrote on Good Reads, "Here, you'll find almost all the best-known King Arthur tales, from the sword in the stone and the Lady of the Lake to the forbidden romance between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere. There are also a lot of weird little side tales about the various knights, from Galahad to Percival to Bedevere."
Since my last update, I've read the following books. 5-star reads are marked with an asterisk. Read my full reviews on GoodReads.
Fiction:
Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon*
Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones*
When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole
Luster by Raven Leilani*
Nonfiction:
The Michigan Murders by Edward Keyes*
So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo*
