Things I intended to do over the last four and a half weeks:
- Review Gideon The Ninth, See No Stranger, Pussy Prayers and a bevy of self-published children’s books featuring little Black and Brown children being great.
- Do a big long overthink discussing the recent surge of creativity in African science fiction, Africanfuturism and Afrodystopia, what it means for Black folks in speculative fiction(as though I know), and how it connects to similar movements in indigenous fiction but contrasts with almost everything in similar genres coming out of Southeast Asia.
- Keep bringing you the best in weekly diverse book news in handy-dandy wrap up format
- Up the number of posts per week from around 3 to 4 or 5.
Things I did not intend to do over the last four and a half weeks:
- Post absolutely nothing on this blog.
Things that happened over the last four and a half weeks to reverse my intention polarities:
- Bills. Real bills.
- Also job. Real job. Sabbatical is over. *cries*
- Lastly, sick. Real sick. Not the ‘Rona, so nobody panic. But it’s hard to write reviews when you barely feel good enough to read. It’s a long, uninteresting story but suffice it to say, I had to narrow my focus and do a little less for a bit due to lack of energy. I’m better now, though. No worries.
So basically, sorry, y’all. I didn’t mean to disappear, Regular posting will resume tomorrow. Also, if you’re not already, follow me on Facebook, where I post constantly no matter what’s going on because the “share” button is a thing and procrastination scrolling is a more infectious virus than the one with many names currently stalking the world.
Peace!
