i've seen people refer to Akwaeke Emezi with the wrong pronouns and figured that not many people know this - gentle reminder that Akwaeke Emezi is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns!

((p.s. im sorry for posting this as a forum post, it's just that ive seen it multiple times that i figured it would be faster to make a new post about it instead of commenting one by one on each post! to clarify, i promise i dont mean this passive-aggressively! i know that people don't always have time to check each author's bios before reading/posting about a book which is understandable🙇‍♀️))

Immortal

Sue Lynn Tan

A stunning, standalone romantic fantasy filled with dangerous secrets, forbidden magic, and passion, of a young ruler who fights to protect her kingdom, from bestselling author Sue Lynn Tan and set in the breathtaking world of Daughter of the Moon Goddess. “What the gods did not give us, I would take.” As the heir to Tianxia, Liyen knows she must ascend the throne and renew her kingdom’s pledge to serve the immortals who once protected them from a vicious enemy. But when she is poisoned, Liyen’s grandfather steals an enchanted lotus to save her life. Enraged at his betrayal, the immortal queen commands the powerful God of War to attack Tianxia. Upon her grandfather’s death, Liyen ascends a precarious throne, vowing to end her kingdom’s obligation to the immortals. When she is summoned to the Immortal Realm, she seizes the opportunity to learn their secrets and to form a tenuous alliance to safeguard her people, all with the one she should fear and mistrust the most: the ruthless God of War. As they are drawn together, a treacherous attraction ignites between them—one she has to resist, to not endanger all she is fighting for. But with darker forces closing in around them, and her kingdom plunged into peril, Liyen must risk everything to save her people from an unspeakable fate, even if it means forging a dangerous bond with the immortal… even if it means losing her heart.

Help me pick my next read?

I saw other people doing this, so I might as well join the gang 👀

I'm trying to find my next read, and I'm quite undecided as I have a long tbr and a bunch of paused books... maybe I'll pick something at random for tomorrow, but whatever gets voted on here will be the next one :3

I was thinking about one of these:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Animal Farm by Orwell
Blade Runner (do androids dream of electric sheep?) by P. K. Dick
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
The Portrait of Dorian Gray by O. Wilde
The Magician by Maugham
The Master and Margarita by M. Bulgakov

Thank you!!!

Support your library!!!

Y'all I just want to make a post celebrating my library. Not only because 1- right now the world is scary and its still a safe place. And also because my library gives me the opportunity to hang out more by volunteering. But also!!! I just bought a book from my library book store. Its a brand new book that just came out like two months ago. I got the book for 50 cents.

Anyway, libraries are super cool and badass and we should all appreciate them more.

"MY BITCH!"

Ok the narrator (Bahni Turpin) is amazing though, really making the dialogs come to life, would definitely recommend listening to it!

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty

Akwaeke Emezi

Fresh and seductive novel about a young woman seeking joy while healing from loss. Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again. It’s been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she’s almost a new person now—an artist with her own studio, and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it’s time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career. She’s even started dating the perfect guy, but their new relationship might be sabotaged before it has a chance by the dangerous thrill Feyi feels every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits. This new life she asked for just got a lot more complicated, and Feyi must begin her search for real answers. Who is she ready to become? Can she release her past and honor her grief while still embracing her future? And, of course, there’s the biggest question of all—how far is she willing to go for a second chance at love? Akwaeke Emezi’s vivid and passionate writing takes us deep into a world of possibility and healing, and the constant bravery of choosing love against all odds.

Really enjoyed the second half and the coming together of the plot, however the first half was really hard to follow and the characters weren't that enticing. Only giving it 3 stars because you really had to push through to get to the good part, what do you mean I have to invest over 300 pages/12 hours of listening to start to understand what's going on, and really enjoy it only after the 450 page/18h mark? Hopefully now that the world building has been set, the next books will be more enjoyable, but I need a bit of a break after this chonker.

The Book That Wouldn’t Burn (The Library Trilogy, #1)

Mark Lawrence

A boy has lived his whole life trapped within a vast library, older than empires and larger than cities. A girl has spent hers in a tiny settlement out on the Dust where nightmares stalk and no one goes. The world has never even noticed them. That's about to change. Their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another. A journey on which knowledge erodes certainty, and on which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned.

The World for Sale: Money, Power, and the Traders Who Barter the Earth's Resources

Javier Blas

The modern world is built on commodities - from the oil that fuels our cars to the metals that power our smartphones. We rarely stop to consider where they have come from. But we should. In The World for Sale, two leading journalists lift the lid on one of the least scrutinised corners of the world economy: the workings of the billionaire commodity traders who buy, hoard and sell the earth's resources. It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets: enabling an enormous expansion in international trade, and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the world's financial centres. And it is the story of how some traders acquired untold political power, right under the noses of western regulators and politicians - helping Saddam Hussein to sell his oil, fuelling the Libyan rebel army during the Arab Spring, and funnelling cash to Vladimir Putin's Kremlin in spite of western sanctions. The result is an eye-opening tour through the wildest frontiers of the global economy, as well as a revelatory guide to how capitalism really works.
