I received this beautiful copy of Master Of Poison from G.G. @tordotcompub to celebrate the August release of the trade paperback. Master Of Poisons by award-winning author Andrea Hairston weaves together African folktales and post colonial literature into unforgettable fantasy. The World is changing. Poison desert eats good farmland. Once sweet water turns foul. The wind blows sand and sadness across the Empire. To get caught in a storm is death. To live and do nothing is death. There is magic in the world, But good conjure is hard to find. Inspired by West African folktales, postcolonial literature, and oral storytelling, the world of Master of Poisons resist categorization. Dreamlike and enchanting, every page echoes with imagery of the natural world—a reminder that the wilderness and humans have a shared destiny. Master of Poisons is an epic fantasy that will bleed your mind with its turns of phrase and leave you aching for the world it burns into being. Continue to dive into the world of Andrea Hairston with Redwood and Wildfire on sale February 1, 2022.

📚 📖 🇭🇹BOOK SPOTLIGHT🇭🇹📖 📚 . Title: What Storm, What Thunder Author: Myriam J. A. Chancy @myriamjachancy . . The earth had buckled and, in that movement, all that was not in its place fell upon the earth’s children, upon the blameless as well as the guilty, without discrimination. At the end of a long, sweltering day, as markets and businesses begin to close for the evening, an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude shakes the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. Award-winning author Myriam J. A. Chancy masterfully charts the inner lives of the characters affected by the disaster―Richard, an expat and wealthy water-bottling executive with a secret daughter; the daughter, Anne, an architect who drafts affordable housing structures for a global NGO; a small-time drug trafficker, Leopold, who pines for a beautiful call girl; Sonia and her business partner, Dieudonné, who are followed by a man they believe is the vodou spirit of death; Didier, an emigrant musician who drives a taxi in Boston; Sara, a mother haunted by the ghosts of her children in an IDP camp; her husband, Olivier, an accountant forced to abandon the wife he loves; their son, Jonas, who haunts them both; and Ma Lou, the old woman selling produce in the market who remembers them all. Artfully weaving together these lives, witness is given to the desolation wreaked by nature and by man. Brilliantly crafted, fiercely imagined, and deeply haunting, What Storm, What Thunder is a singular, stunning record, a reckoning of the heartbreaking trauma of disaster, and―at the same time―an unforgettable testimony to the tenacity of the human spirit.

Exhausted is not the WORD!!! Can you tell by my hair? 😂 📚 📖 🤩BOOK SPOTLIGHT🤩📖 📚 . . Title: Black Girls Must Die Exhausted Author: Jayne Allen @jayneallenwrites . . The first novel in a captivating three-book series. Tabitha Walker is a black woman with a plan to “have it all.”  At 33 years old, the checklist for the life of her dreams is well underway. Education? Check. Good job? Check. Down payment for a nice house? Check. Dating marriage material? Check, check, and check. With a coveted position as a local news reporter, a "paper-perfect" boyfriend, and even a standing Saturday morning appointment with a reliable hairstylist, everything seems to be falling into place. Then Tabby receives an unexpected diagnosis that brings her picture-perfect life crashing down, jeopardizing the keystone she took for granted: having children. With her dreams at risk of falling through the cracks of her checklist, suddenly she is faced with an impossible choice between her career, her dream home, and a family of her own. With the help of her best friends, the irreverent and headstrong Laila and Alexis, the mom jeans-wearing former "Sexy Lexi," and the generational wisdom of her grandmother and the nonagenarian firebrand Ms. Gretchen, Tabby explores the reaches of modern medicine and tests the limits of her relationships, hoping to salvage the future she always dreamed of. But the fight is all consuming, demanding a steep price that forces an honest reckoning for nearly everyone in her life. As Tabby soon learns, her grandmother's age-old adage just might still be true: Black girls must die exhausted Thank you @harperperennial for gifting me a finished copy! #blackbookstagrammer #blackgirlsreadtoo #blackgirlread #masterofpoisons #blackfantasy #bookstagram #bookspotlight #haitianbookstagrammer #booksforthesoul #booklover #booknerd #bookgirlmagic #bookfeature #bookspotlight #readingislit #bibliophile #bibliotheque #bookaddict #bookaholic #readersofinstagram #blackreads #blackbooksmatter #harperperennial #blackauthors #JayneAllen https://www.instagram.com/p/CUydkaqraI2/?utm_medium=tumblr
