“Don't you remember, she told him then, when you were nothing but shadow and smoke? Darling, he'd said in his soft, rich way, I was the night itself.” —V.E.

The short story anthology incl months of being out of stock, we have hard cover editions of The Memory Librarian by Janelle Monáe!! The short story anthology includes stories by @shereereneethomas, Danny Lore, and Yohanca Delgado @yodelnyc. Purchase link in bio:@sistahscifi | www.sistahscifi.com| https://sistahscifi.com/products/the-memory-librarian-and-other-stories-of-dirty-computer-by-janelle-monae Reposted @readinginjenue 🫧 The Memory Librarian by @JanelleMonáe SYNOPSIS: In The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer, singer-songwriter, actor, fashion icon, activist, and worldwide superstar Janelle Monáe brings to the written page the Afrofuturistic world of one of her critically acclaimed albums, exploring how different threads of liberation—queerness, race, gender plurality, and love—become tangled with future possibilities of memory and time in such a totalitarian landscape…and what the costs might be when trying to unravel and weave them into freedoms. Expanding from that mythos, these stories fully explore what it’s like to live in such a totalitarian existence…and what it takes to get out of it. Building off the traditions of speculative writers such as Octavia Butler, Ted Chiang, Becky Chambers, and Nnedi Okorafor—and filled with the artistic genius and powerful themes that have made Monáe a worldwide icon in the first place—The Memory Librarian serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within, and the stakes and power that exists there. Thank you to partners @bibliolifestyle and @harpervoyagerus for this gifted copy. 🔖 #thememorylibrarian #janellemonae #janellemonáe #bibliolifestyle #igreads #bibliophile #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bookishpost #bookishfeatures #booknerd #bookishflatlay #booklover #bookstagrammer #ilovebooks #bookblogger #booklove #bookgram #booksofig #becauseofreading #fortheloveofbooks #whattoread #readingismagic #booksbooksbooks #teacherswhoread #iteachhighschoolenglish #sistahscifi (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfkhhML36W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
“I could suddenly see something…A garden I’d not yet entertained. There it was, in the distance. There were things in the way. But for the first time, there it was. A garden I’d never seen before” “Ninety-nine percent of cellists, there’s nothing there under those layers, there’s nothing to unwrap. So people like us, we have to help each other…because there are so few of us” The first set of interconnected short stories I’ve read by Ishiguro and once again I felt the familiar warm and cozy feeling I experienced in Remains of the Day. Each story is centered around music (how it brings people together, how it reveals bittersweet truths and splits them a part, an how it’s the one thing that cushions reality’s sting where dreams most likely are tased aside for the mundane. Out of the short stories, I’d say “Nocturne” was my favorite. Steve and Lindy’s budding friendship and escapade through the hotel was both funny and eye opening in what musicians are expected to do in order to succeed. All the short stories possess smart humor that’s similar to P.G. Wodehouse. @thebookjoint_ #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookreviewing #mybookfeatures #bookishlove #bookishfeatures #bookishpost #bookstagram #bookishlife #bookishcommunity #bookishphotography #readingaddict #readinglife #readingcommunity #readinglife #readingbooks #readerlife #readersgonnaread https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOQxuFLMfj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💚📗 January 2023 - Finished Reading: "The School For Good and Evil: Book 1" By @somanc (Soman Chainani) "ɪᴛ'ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀ ɢᴏᴏᴅ ɪᴅᴇᴀ ꜰᴏʀ 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓼 ᴛᴏ ᴡᴏʀʀʏ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ 𝖂𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖘.." After becoming immediately hooked on the new Netflix movie by the same name, I knew I was going to have to dive deeply into this series! Thankfully, the first book pulled me in just as quickly as the movie had.. 🥰 In a world where Magic isn't out of the question, this series (although meant technically to be a children's collection) shows just how real-world friendships would evolve under the influence of labels like Good and Evil, or in this case; Evers and Nevers. Agatha and Sophie play the roles of childhood friends with dreams, ambitions, and goals of which some weren't very shared between the two. But what happens when that so-called "Label" isn't exactly the one you thought it would be? What if a Princess wasn't a Princess at all... but a powerful Witch waiting to bloom? And what if the one labeled "Witch" cared more about her loving friendship than she ever did the idea of Magic? I love this take on some old fairytale ideas, especially under the guide of a school meant for all. The book itself was relatively close to the Movie, but as always, the book had far more details and explanations behind things that we weren't exactly given on film 🖤 This series has a total of six books, and throughout this year I plan to pepper each into my current reading routine. I'm excited to follow this series, and part of me also really REALLY hopes Netflix picks up a couple of them, too. . . . #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookaesthetic #bookaholic #reading #bookcover #bookishfeatures #bookgram #bookholic #bookinstagram #booklife #booklover #booknerd #bookoftheday #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bookquote #bookstagram #bookworm #goodreads #igreads #bookdragon #reader #instaread #ilovebooks #theschoolforgoodandevil #somanchainani #youngadultbooks #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFg2a7ORqK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
