September was a good month for reading ! I've already started on my first October book, Black Leopard Red Wolf. I can tell you right now it's unlike anything I've read before, is dark as heck, and I'm loving it.

I've got three books under my belt for the 23for23 challenge so far, here's to twenty more. 📚🏳️‍🌈👏

SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW IS UP FOR REQUEST ON EDELWEISS!!

Go request an early copy! And reblog so your bookish, bookseller and librarian friends know!

It still feels unreal that this story I’ve poured so much into is going to be in reader hands so soon. My June release date feels SO far away and also frighteningly close. I’m feeling nostalgic, so here’s one of the earliest pitches I shared when I first started querying

Filipino EMPIRE OF SAND X POPPY WAR

Lunurin, a mestiza stormcaller, hides in a convent—from the Inquisition branding her a witch, and the Goddess of Storms, who sings of drowning colonizers. When she’s discovered, a marriage-of-convenience might save her from the Church, but not her Goddess. A typhoon is brewing in Lunurin’s bones. Freeing it will destroy the violent colonizers, but also the family she found in the convent and her new marriage.

I can’t wait for you to meet Lunurin. Remember. Go to a stormcaller for vengeance, for they do not heal, and they do not save.

Saints will be up on netgalley soon, so follow me if you aren’t already for so you won’t miss the announcement

I finished A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark today and absolutely loved it.

Synopsis:

Cairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha’arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, she’s certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer. So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world 50 years ago when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage. Alongside her Ministry colleagues and her clever girlfriend Siti, Agent Fatma must unravel the mystery behind this imposter to restore peace to the city -or face the possibility he could be exactly who he seems…

My Review

I highly recommend reading A Dead Djinn in Cairo, the 0.1 novella in this series, before starting this book! I skipped all the other novellas (though I'll probably get around to them when I can because I do love this universe), and didn't feel like it made a difference, but A Dead Djinn in Cairo is where Fatma and Siti meet, and the case they work on in that book is referenced multiple times in this book and has a huge impact on the overall plot - I would have been SO annoyed and confused by all those references if I hadn't read that book first. That out of the way, I LOVE this book. The setting - alternate universe 1920s Egypt with some steampunk vibes to it - is SO cool, the main characters are fantastic, and the plot and mystery are really fun. I wouldn't try and sell this as a romance (the main couple are already together at the beginning of the book and the story doesn't revolve around them too much), but Fatma is a butch lesbian with hot femme fatal girlfriend Siti, and Fatma's friendship with Hadia, her new partner in the department, is a delight. I also think it had some fantastic things to say about colonialism, racism, colourism, slavery and xenophobia - often with a fantastic dry humour to it. If you're a fan of A Marvellous Light's trilogy by Freya Marske I would highly recommend this to you.

It is one thing to have a body; it is another thing to struggle under the menacing weight of its meaning.

Here are my picks for the 23for23 challenge, with a few extra to carry me into the new year. Most of these are queer, but there are a few exceptions.

The 23for23 challenge was started on Instagram, and focus on reading and uplifting BIPOC authors.

I'm currently listening to The Witch King, and I think I'll listen to Blood Debts too. I have Poison Heart and Iron Widow, so they'll be my next physical reads.

Have you read any of these?

Does anyone know any trans BIPOC mystery/noir/crime writers (even better if they write espionage novels and I accept heist novelists, no cozy mysteries though)?

*And if anyone says 'google it', believe me, I've tried for hours last night. I can't find the exact centre of this Venn diagram so to speak.

I have zero context for this but I've seen this person's books recommended on here so I thought I would share. It's unsurprising but still disappointing to hear that a queer white author was harassing a queer author of color; online writing spaces, even when it comes to queer fiction, are still so hostile to poc

Stop saying "you're so strong and brave! You're such a great activist!".

I shouldn't have to be. I'm wasting my years fighting for my human rights against people who won't pick up any other book if it saved their life.

I'm so goddamn tired and I'm scared to death.
