I can't believe it's almost time for the November #BookSpin draw! Because I've arranged spreadsheet that I pull the list from by page number I have four new books on the list for this month. They include the tagged, Annie Bot, Dead Silence, and Buffalo Hunter Hunter. I'm excited to see what the numbers are!

A powerful punch in a novella. A discovery of love, identity, and autonomy. The descriptions in this book are so visceral and graphic, but I didn‘t feel as though it was gratuitous. Excellent and short read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#blackcatcrew #hauntedshelf

The Deep | Rivers Solomon

So, this novella wasn‘t what I expected at all. You think it will be a quick read but this one isn‘t a page turner. You read a little and put it down. And so many themes to contemplate. It‘s about mermaids born from the pregnant slave mothers thrown overboard, but the book is really about holding memories and responsibility to community. This is a good one for a book club but read not listen. 2 of the podcast members didn‘t like the audio book. ⬇️

#wdncw that i have to sit with a story for a while before reviewing it.🙂
The Deep is inspired by a song by ‘clipping.‘
it imagines an underwater society born from the trama of the slave trade. haunting, dreamy, & emotionally resonant.
Yetu, the mermaid historian, carries the weight of memory until it nearly breaks her. she meets Oori & their bond is soft & healing. A reminder that connection can be chosen 💗

This book was truly disgusting, as it was meant to be, and the prose was beautiful. I had to look up words I was unfamiliar with. I enjoyed the challenge. The novella was intriguing and gross. Perfect for Halloween if you want to fear mermaids.

TW: very graphic, includes eye stuff

willaful Yikes, thanks for the warning. It's coming off the TBR for me. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Oh man… this sounds really good but eye stuff really disturbs me. Thanks for the warning. 1mo

Eggbeater @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly Eye stuff is one of the few things that make me squeamish, so I wondered if maybe others felt the same. It's a good book. Just brace yourself and don't eat. 1mo
