For the first day of #WomensHistoryMonth, we are celebrating Nalo Hopkinson!! Haven't read any Nalo Hopkinson yet and not sure where to start? Sistah Scifi is here to take the guess work out of it and give you the top 6 we suggest reading. Brown Girl in the Ring To save her city and herself, a young woman must solve a tragic mystery and bargain with the gods. Midnight Robber A story of a father who has committed a crime and a daughter who must then fight to save her own life. The Salt Roads Explores women's relationships with their lovers, their people, and the divine across centuries and civilizations. @hachettebooks The New Moons Arms Calamity, a woman who has a special gift to find lost things. Sister Mine Abby and Makeda were separated conjoined twins. After their separation, each of them was left with a piece of herself missing. @grandcentralpub The Chaos Scotch, sixteen, struggles to fit in—at home, she's the perfect daughter, but at school, she's provocatively sassy. @simonandschuster You can purchase Brown Girl in the Ring, The Chaos, and Sister Mine from our @Shopify, @Instagram, @Facebook, @TikTok, @Twitter, @Librofm and @Pinterest stores.

In August, Sistah Scifi shared a post that answers "What to read if you haven't read Octavia E Butler?" as an infographic created by a Room of Ones Own Books @roomofonesownbooks. Readers loved the quirky, fan based book recommendations for those new to Butler. We asked Sistah Scifi Siblings what author would they like Sistah Scifi to create a graphic for next. The winner was NK Jemisin (and Nalo Hopkinson. We are still working on that one). Do you think we understood the assignment?!?
