I know word count has nothing to do with quality but damn looking at some beasts of fanfiction like @aliasrocket for Rocket Raccoon x Reader like 16000 words for one chapter has me both intimidated and impressed.

"The day I came squealing and squalling into the world was the first time someone tried to kill me." 🌟 Every Weds, we pick a new author to be our #writercrush, from bookseller favorites to underrepresented authors you need to know about. ➡️This week, we're loving Justina Ireland (@justinai), author of the YA epic Dread Nation. 🌟 Set in post-Reconstruction America, Dread Nation focuses on the life of Jane McKeene, a young Black girl trained with other Black and Native people to kill zombies that have risen at the site of Civil War battlefields. This fast-paced, exhilarating novel is so much more than any typical zombie book you've ever read. ➡️Pick up a copy on the 2nd floor! ▪️▪️ #writercrushwednesday #dreadnation #justinaireland #bookrecommendation #yaliterature

Time for another #WriterCrushWednesday (this one is our #1 bestseller at the moment)! 💞Zora Neale Hurston's previously unpublished nonfiction, Barracoon, has finally hit the shelves. 👉In it, Hurston meticulously chronicals the account of Kossola (a.k.a. Cudjo), the last recorded survivor of the Atlantic slave trade. The book provides a rare and complex perspective on slavery in the landscape of historical literature which often contains “words from the seller, but not one word from the sold” (Hurston). •• #writercrush #bookrecommendation (at Strand Book Store)
