⁣ “𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚗," 𝙰𝚢𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍. "𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎. 𝙸 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚠𝚎'𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎.”⁣ ⁣ What would you do if alien life made itself present on earth? That is the main question at the center of Nnedi Okorafor’s 𝘓𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘯. ⁣ ⁣ It starts with three strangers on a beach in Lagos being drawn together by forces out of their own control and quickly brings chaos into the city. The book is fast paced and told from multiple points of views that lends to the utter chaos that ensues when aliens make themselves known. Part of me wishes the ending was a bit more straightforward with the fate of our three protagonists but I can understand why things are left mildly vague. I also still have questions about some humans and their abilities but I still thoroughly enjoyed this ride. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #hobbiesovercoffee⁣ #lagoon #nnediokorafor #booksovercoffee #bookstagram #booksofinstagram

⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘎𝘰𝘥’𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘴⁣⁣ by P. Djèlí Clark⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This amazing story was one of our March reads at @pagesprosebookclub and am I sad it’s over. In just 112 pages I was taken on a steampunk adventure full of gods and airships in an alternate New Orleans and I want more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Totally recommend picking this one up if you get the chance.⁣ ⁣ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #ebooks #theblackgodsdrum #PDjèlíClark #pagesandprosebookclub
