#nr African-American Gothic: Screams From Shadowed Places by Maisha L Wester. An illuminating text that is still pleasant to read. I'm learning so much! Among other things, the realization that a lot of Kenyan fiction novels are gothic in nature. Kikuyu Gothic is not a joke, its but a way of life!

Our president kept harping on about "well paying digital jobs for the youth, well paying digital jobs for the youth"... I'm starting to think he just meant Hasbara...

Japanese Colour Harmony Dictionary: Traditional Colours of Japan - Teruko Sakurai
A bit of a deviation from the list but still! It's ideally for graphic designers but I use it to pick out my nail colours most of the time

Clay's Ark - Octavia Butler
I love and have read every single one of Butler's books & short stories but Clay's Ark stands out the most to me. It's her most brutal work especially with regards to consent & non-consent.

Between Two Fires - Christopher Buehlman
I haven't read anything like this before and haven't found anything like it after! A mishmash of historical fiction, epic grimdark fantasy and abject horror all taking place in a Dante-esque version of Hell on Earth 👹 so good!

Freshwater - Akwaeke Emezi
Their best book in my opinion. If you know, you know; and if you don't, you need to fix that immediately.
