I currently #AmReading the 4th and final book of Devin Madson's The Reborn Empire series. I've been postponing this as I don't want it to end. I love the characters, the world, the dark/gritty vibes and, of course, Madson's writing :blobcataww:
If you know of similar books/series, send me your recs?
This morning I took a moment to read The Book Itch: Freedom, Truth & Harlem's Greatest Bookstore by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, R. Gregory Christie (Illustrator).
What a powerful little book with beautiful pictures throughout. Told through the eyes of Lewis Michaux, Jr. about his father, the owner of the bookstore we see famous people come to the bookstore, we witness Malcom X's assassination, and of course a lot of books. Highly recommend for ages 3-10.
The Witch Boy trilogy by Molly Knox Ostertag is a fun graphic novel series about a boy witch in a family where only girls can be witches. It follows the MC as he navigates friendships, family dynamics, mysteries, and witchcraft. The three books are: The Witch Boy, The Hidden Witch, and The Midwinter Witch. Perfect for ages 8-13 or any fan of graphic novels.
Have you read THE NARROW LAND (Atlantic Books) by Christine Dwyer Hickey? The novel, which won the eleventh #WalterScottPrize, explores the marriage of the artists Edward and Jo Hopper.
