Black No More (Excerpt from the novel) (1931)by George S. Schuyler ★★★★★
“White at last! There would be no more expenditures for skin whiteners; no more discrimination; no more obstacles in his path. He was free!”
Boom! This was some serious satire with you-can’t-say-that! shock value. (view spoiler)[That photo is Nick Cannon in white-face. (hide spoiler)]

Tyler, you’ve been killing it! I’m going to get back into this tomorrow.

Just finished Biohackers, it was good though nowhere near as good as I hoped. Still, that was a hell of a cliffhanger it ended on.

I did it, I finished something on time! Lol. One staunch down, one to go!

Chicago 1927 (2000) by Jewelle Gomez ★★★★☆
A vampire has a case of ennui and hopes her interest in a local singer, and her friends, can spark a zest for life.

Woohoo!

Six stars, that’s exciting!

Sister Lilith (2002)by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers ★★★☆☆
This is the story of Lilith told in a casual style.


The Comet (1920) by W.E.B Du Bois ★★★★½
That was a powerful story; eye-opening, endearing, sad, and just a little silly. A poor black man and a rich white woman are the last people left alive in New York, possibly the world. That sort of thing changes your perspective. It also made me think of Jim Carrey: “So you’re saying there’s a chance!”

That’s a good way do it when you are pressed for time.

Ok, I have messaged everyone that allows messaging. Thank you again for a great month and sorry for the short notice.

I found a Vice story about Fast Food in the Middle East and it made me think of Seasoning by Alan Dean Foster.

The Best of Elizabeth Bear is on sale at Subterranean Press, their books gorgeous! I picked up a copy: https://subterraneanpress.com/best-of...

I had to see if it was real - it was.

Glad you are joining us regardless and let us know if it was any good.

While I would never write in a library book it is neat to see these recommendations from someone who read this long ago...
