Nalo Hopkinson is a great writer. I first learned about her from DC comics House of Whispers.

I have read Far Sector, The Fifth Season book one and Nubia. A Blade so Black is on my wish list. Earthdivers i have on my radar. Now I'm curious about Black Sun. Riot Baby also on my radar.

It looks so pretty!

😮ooooo also 😂😂

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

😆😆😆😆😆😆

This video was really fantastic, my gf has gotten this book to read and I ran to her when you discussed the fact the author is from Argentina and how there is a lot of femoicde and how it really made all of the themes in the book click into place. Like I was so annoyed with how people dismissed this book cause of the cannibalism when its a tool to discuss how society allows so many horrible things to happen for the sake of comfort! Thank you for making this really detailed review on the themes this book is playing with it really makes me interested to read it someday!

😆😆😆

I need this in my life! 🥹😂🤣

Never knew I needed something so bad.

OMG - At 12:55 I was *right* with you!!!!!!!!!

YAY! Watching!!!

It's definitely a beautiful cover! 😍😍😍

Ohhkkkaaayyy!!! FACTS tho! 🙂

FACTS!!!! An amazing book. I picked it out as to do a paper in English class in college. I was the only person in the class that did a paper on the book. My favorite quote that hits me every time "Your people contain incredible potential, but they die without using much of it." Shessshhh...I have chills now! 😊 I need 2 read the other books in the series.

The excitement you expressed when you opened the last package makes me want to read that. 😁 Thank you for sharing.

This one sounds cute

This is the first video I’m seeing of yours and I want to say that as someone who is battling feelings of depression and anxiety, I admire you so much for braving the space that is the internet and being vulnerable in sharing a piece of your story. And you and your hair are stunning!

Enjoyed the discussion of taboo and the function it plays in the story

Oooh very interesting answer for the sisters question. Game of Thrones fans know all too well abt that taboo 😅

Seeing how hype you got for the blood of old kings has immediately got me putting it on my TBR

Omg i love that book

Glad you're out of the depressive episode ( I know all about those), I love the hair too! (Your skin tone is beautiful and you could literally pull off any hair color), and yes for protecting mental health. Give us only what you can, no more no less. This bookish stuff is supposed to be fun. the rest of life is stressful enough Masquerade is a beautiful cover!

Glad you’re feeling better bestie, also your hair looks super cute!! Love the color 🥰

Idk you were looking real gorgeously stupendous wit the blonde

Good luck on your health and mental wellbeing journey xoxo. Thank you for posting in spite of the fact that you're resting on multiple facets rn.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Nice to meet you! Welcome to booktube, I started a few months ago, so excited to watch your videos bestie! 🥰🤪😎

Love tubman joints

Dsng i had homegoing and gave away. Check enisi! Generational and black candle women😊

I love anything marc !! Gotta finish that book😊

Learned a ton

I got about halfway through the book and I physically couldn’t finish it. I seriously couldn’t eat for days 😢 I’m trying to build up my courage to finish

I haven't quite gotten into the video yet but I think people are missing that not only is there so much more than cannibalism but also that cannibalism is just a tool to get the themes across. Can't wait to hear your take!

I literally loved this book and people don’t talk about it enough in my opinion, if they do it’s literally only about the cannibalism 😭

I’ve been trying to make videos on this for ages! There is so much to say!

I was watching a think piece on the hunger games yesterday that dealt with these themes

17:34 I want to read this book now. At first I was like 😮, but something made click on this video and hear you out. The society in this book sounds like society now three moves away😅 everyone wants someone to care for them but they don’t want to care for anyone😢

Ugh I hate there being so many unknowns left…like yes he got rid of the jasmine “problem”.. but now they have this random baby. Where will they tell people they got it? If they try to pretend Cecelia had the baby, their family would know that wasn’t true..Is Cecelia’s mom loyal enough to keep the secret of her son-in-law having sex with a head? I guess given his job he could conjure up some fake paperwork saying that Jasmine was artificially inseminated..but I just wish there would have been a few paragraphs of Marcos and Cecelia discussing what they planned to do going forward. Or what would have been really crazy is if Marcos revealed that he already had all of the paperwork ready/the cover up planned out.. proving that he really had just been using Jasmine the entire time when most readers thought he had fallen in love.

This book is definitely unpredictable lmao

i loved that book! cant wait to hear your input

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

me too girl, me too

I want it

so real, me too 😭
