Finished my pick for #LMPBC. There was a lot to take in with this book. Though I don't want to say too much before my group gets a chance to read it. Very comparable to Educated by Tara Westover. How these women survived let alone thrived, despite their upbringings, is incredible. I can't wait to read my groups thoughts on it all.

pickThe first half of this book is brilliant I loved learning who the people were and seeing how passionate they about their causes.

pickI was expecting more science fiction, but found it to be more a historical fiction account of the antebellum south. Aside from the time travelling that is. An engaging story regardless.

panI really wanted to like this but I could not. I've read other Okorafor books and liked them, but I could not get into this one. I nearly bailed and I never bail. It's clearly a social commentary on Nigerian culture, but that combined with the science fiction elements just all seemed forced. And boring. 🤷♀️

It wasn't bad, but I wasn't riveted. I do think it would make a good book club pick though. It touches on a number of "hot topics" that I think would make for some good discussions.

pickThis novel tells one family's story over 12 days leading up to, during, and the day after Hurricane Katrina. Such amazingly vivid storytelling, especially during the hurricane.
