    Thoughts from 7%

    Reading those first four Darrow chapters was like coming home. Did I cry and shout a couple of times when they referenced parts in Dark Age, oh yes I did. But man have I missed the brilliant way Pierce Brown writes both his characters and the world they inhabit. Got to a Lysander chapter and had to put the book down to get some sleep. I hate that little asshole so much and I have a theory that he will kill a character I love dearly during this one, so the rage is real

  • Upcoming Special Event Readalong: Mardi Gras + Carnival 2026

    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
