My most perfect #meetthebookstagrammer 🥰🥰

I started this bookstagram page in February 2021. I’ve met so many life-long friends, created such a dope community, and pushed myself in the best ways.

This page had a few different names but every version of it has highlighted Speculative Fiction written by Black and Brown folkx. Im a firm believer that this world can change if we dare to reimagine new, different, and inclusive possibilities.

Btw: I had the best time making this…even if it’s not perfect 🥰🥰🥰
Slide 2: And can you tell The Mitchells vs. The Machines has been playing nonstop nonstop in my house 🥴🤣

It's our September Riot Review!! This month, we're reading and diving deep into the DC horror miniseries The Low, Low Woods by Carmen Maria Machado, Dani Strips, and Tamra Bonvillain!! Tune in this week for our spoiler-filled conversation with the chat, our pull list, and comic news!⁠
⁠
Summary of The Low, Low Woods: ⁠
Shudder-To-Think, Pennsylvania, has been on fire for years. The coal mines beneath it are long since abandoned. The woods are full of rabbits with human eyes, a deer woman who stalks hungry girls, and swaths of skinless men. And the people in Shudder-to-Think? Well, they're not doing so well either.⁠
⁠
When El and Octavia wake up in a movie theater with no memory of the last few hours of their lives, the two teenage dirtbags begin a surreal and terrifying journey to discover the truth about the strange town that they call home. Like so many women in Shudder-to-Think before them, all they have is a void where the truth once was. But as time passes, El finds herself needing to know more about what has happened, while Octavia wants nothing more than to forget the forgetting. Can these two teens reconcile their differences before the horrible things lurking beneath their town emerge and swallow them whole? Collects The Low, Low Woods #1-6.⁠

We’re BACCKKKK!!! This time, we’re discussing the literacy crisis and the importance of developing and using critical thinking, especially when reading Black speculative fiction! We’ll use our own reading strategies as examples, detailing how we read, annotate, question the text, and make connections! Learn from some folks who love the genre and pick up some of our recommendations!

This live will happen on September 16,2026 at 1pm est on YouTube and Instagram! If you miss it, it’ll live permanently on YouTube so you can replay to your heart’s content!🥰

Please share and repost to spread the word!
