Welcome 🤎

daniellephipps.bsky.social•21 days ago

Thank you so much for this!! Which of these would you say is your favorite or the best one to start with?

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

Depends on your preferences

Sci-fi- The Fifth Season
Adult Romantic Fantasy- Vicious Bonds
YA fantasy-Raybearer
Epic Fantasy-Black Sun

And also anything writing by Octavia Butler

daniellephipps.bsky.social•21 days ago

Thank you so much!

I chose Lone Women by Victor LaValle for book club. We all loved it!

baebai97.bsky.social•21 days ago

Skin of the Sea was so good! I wanna read more of these this year!!!

The Legendborn series by Tracy Deonn. Anything Tia Williams or Tiffany D Jackson write.

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yes to legend born!
I’m going to have to make another post because there are so many books I wanted to add on here 😩

josiereadsalot.bsky.social•21 days ago

I can’t wait for Oathbound to come out next month!

charmy90.bsky.social•21 days ago

Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma. Black vampires. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Dark academia. Morally gray characters.

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yess to immortal dark! I only had so many books I could put on the page 😩

charmy90.bsky.social•21 days ago

Understandable! I just try to get the word out about the book because I would love for it to gain more notoriety and maybe get a movie or show deal 🤞🏾

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

This definitely deserves a TV series and could be as popular as Vampire Diaries! I see the vision!

thesexowords.bsky.social•21 days ago

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston has always been one of my favorites.

And I also really enjoyed The Weight of Blood by Tiffany Jackson.

bwandzen.bsky.social•21 days ago

Here are some more obscure ones: Within These Wicked Walls, Black Borne, Coal #bhm #blackbooksky

kaijuhysteria.bsky.social•21 days ago

We both chose the Fifth Season, I almost chose The City We Became—Jemisin is at the pinnacle of the art of speculative fiction.

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

The killing moon is on my TBR for this month!

kaijuhysteria.bsky.social•21 days ago

I’ve been sleeping on my TBR lately, but I’ve been meaning to read The Killing Moon too. I think this is a sign to move it up the queue! I’m very excited about the lore in this. It checks all the boxes.

kaitlinbisneau.bsky.social•21 days ago

I highly recommend Dread Nation by Justina Ireland! (Zombies!)

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

Just added it to my story graph TBR

notallwitches.bsky.social•21 days ago

I’m starting this today. She is an ApollyCon attending author this year!

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

Adding to my TBR!

notallwitches.bsky.social•21 days ago

Allie Shante is great if you loved the show Supernatural.

Jessica Cage has mainly done general fantasy like Djinn BUT her demon romance I Accidentally Summoned a Demon Boyfriend is funny if you want to be cheered up.

Angela J Ford if you wanna immerse yourself in a Romantasy

mecireads.bsky.social•21 days ago

I recently discovered Angela Ford. Already have all of her books on my TBR!

dhowellsin.bsky.social•21 days ago
