I couldn't care much for this one, sadly.

Just posted this photo on socials and wanted to share here as well! I got the warm fuzzies putting this together, reflecting on how far we've come. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos! It's lovely seeing some of the faces & furry friends behind the avatars.

Is this a book that all revolves around a man with an ego?

There’s some beautiful writing but not enamoured by the plot yet.

I'm listening to this book and honestly, the narrator is incredible. A lot of different characters have their own accents so it's really easy to differentiate them from one another. I recommend if you like audiobooks!

girl, quit your job!

She just...cut up and ate a tomato? Absolutely villain behavior

They threw fish food at the wedding. How…sweet are her friends. 😂

Remember, your faith is evinced by the size of your contribution, and the more people you recruit to spread the faith, the more pleased the spirits will be!

Is one of our antagonists going to be the leader of a pyramid scheme?! this is honestly the perfect shenangians to be the foil to Kuni

We're very excited to announce our next Special Event Readalong, Mardi Gras + Carnival! This will run from January 15 - February 15.

This round's selections center stories from Afro-Caribbean + Black New Orleans culture. Check out the Special Events page (in the More tab on the app, or click the purple banner on the Discuss page on web).

The Ballad of Perilous Graves by Alex Jennings: An imaginative New Orleans Urban Fantasy exploring the music and magic of NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana).

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson: A touching Caribbean-American contemporary fiction exploring family secrets and the weight of the past. Series adaptation on Hulu!

You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi: An funny + tender upmarket romance (warning: explicit 🌶️) exploring Afro-Carribean culture and healing trauma though love.

The Yellow House by Sarah M. Broom: A lyrical + politically sharp memoir chronicling 100 years of love, resilience, and class in NOLA. A clear-eyed account of Black New Orleans, up through the devastating events of Hurricane Katrina.

What's a Special Event? Each quarter, we run a short 1 month readalong showcasing diverse voices in literature. Read one of the selections and comment or post in the forum during the Readalong to earn a special badge. Unlike the Seasonal Readalongs, you do not earn a special badge for reading all the selections.

Excited to see the discussions for this event!

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy
