I think I like The Dragon Republic, book 2 of the Poppy War trilogy more than book 1 👀

Rereading The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem and it’s still hitting the same as the first time I read it! This is the most true enemies to lovers I’ve ever read 🥰 Also love this Egyptian inspired world.. #booksky #romantasy

Started this book today and 2 chapters in I can tell it’s gonna be a 5 star. From introduction: “This book is a story about a strong-arm robbery. It is about family and friends trying to recover what was stolen. It is the testimony, and the verdict that a jury of our peers has never heard.”

I’m 25% into Vicious Bonds by Shanora Williams and how the hell does this book only have 2200+ reviews on Goodreads?! That banter is constantly making me smile and kick my feet 🤭🤭 Like how are people crying at Target about that one poorly written book when THIS romantasy exists 🤔

My #Booktok account is mistakenly set in Poland and TikTok has refused to fix it. But now it seems my account might survive because it’s on a European server?!?! 🤣🤣

This was my response in The Guardian 3 years ago when I was asked if my work was a response to the prevalence of whiteness in science fiction.
I’m totally patting “January 2021 Nnedi” on the back. Yes, Nnedi. So much yes, 🙌🏾 :

If I listen to a book on audio and then later talk to someone about that book, I’m gonna say “this books I *read* last week…”
If I physically read 5 books, and listened to another 5 books, I’m gonna say “I *read* 10 books”
Are we seriously arguing semantics now?!
Audiobook = reading!

if you have access to a local library … USE ITS RESOURCES!
visit! check out books, even if you end up returning them unread. sign up for programming! request new books!
libraries are some of the best community spots around and it’s so easy to support them & help them continue to get funding!
