Finally getting started on "Haiti Noir" 

I finished the Trinidad Noir and Istanbul Noir anthologies last year and heard their were far more interesting ones in the series

Wish me luck

What a snore, they put the most interesting stories in the beginning of the book and it just got more and more pointless as I kept reading.

And why do so many black writers insist on just finding new ways to translate violence, poverty and trauma?

I'm looking for some of Essex Hemphill's poetry, but his books are selling for $150 plus on Amazon

And I'm not buying any used versions

[Sovereign.]

I need to get into Essex's work.

And what's wrong with investing in a used one sis?

I just started "If Beale Street Could Talk" by Baldwin and I LOOOOOVE IT! I'm trying to read it before I see the film.

Essex really should be as important of a literary mind to black queer men as Maya Angelou is to black women. He really did pick up the baton from Baldwin and push the bounds on theorizing black queerness. We lost him way too soon.

I've always ordered used books before and it's always a mess (torn pages, pages missing, books practically falling apart) ...no ma'am.

My favorite genre is fantasy. The sheer number of fantasy books I could recommend would overwhelm you girls. My top recommendations would be:

Victoria Aveyard - Red Queen Series

1. Red Queen
2. Glass Sword
3. King's Cage
4. War Storm

Anne Bishop - The Others Series

1. Written In Red
2. Murder of Crows
3. Vision In Silver
4. Marked In Flesh
5. Etched In Bone

For light-hearted fun filled read, read the entire Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. You would regret it. A kii and a half with tons of action.

OK, Yumz. I finished Darnell Moore?s "No Ashes In the Fire" last weekend and I?ll finish Baldwin?s "If Beale Street Could Talk". Baldwin?s writing just takes the air out of the room.

What's Darnell's writing like? I can't really tolerate a torture porn mess rn.

And woo I can't wait the film adaptation of Beale Street



I need Go Tell It On the Mountain on the big screen next
