How Long 'til Black Future Month?: Stories | N K Jemisin

pick

My one-word review: Wow. This was my first time reading N.K. Jemisin, and I‘m glad I started here. Short stories are a great way to get a feel for an author‘s range of genres, styles, and themes. And Jemisin‘s got serious range! I love the mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and even foodie fic (is that a thing?). Her strong narrative voice pulls me in, and her haunting, thought-provoking stories stay with me.

Bklover Well, I‘m convinced! Stacked! (And I‘ve already read The Fifth Season, which was wonderful!) 6y

alysonimagines Yay! I haven‘t read The Fifth Season yet, but it‘s definitely on my TBR. 6y

Price break! So excited I got to snag a Kindle copy of this for $4.99 USD. (Although I would have happily paid full price.) Just read the first story and already—Wow.

I'm not normally a short story person, but after loving the broken earth trilogy from this author, had to give it a try. And boy was I not disappointed! I can't decide which was my favourite story, they were all 5 stars. I'm sure this book has spoiled me for other short story collections, but has made me want to try others regardless

Cinfhen Great review!! 6y

wtimblin @Cinfhen thanks! 6y

hermyknee What a fantastic review! I‘m really looking forward to reading this collection with @TheNextBook in February for #readBlackwomen & #keepingitshort 💛🧡💛 6y

wtimblin @hermyknee thanks. I'm so jealous you get to read it for the first time! It is an awesome book. Hope you enjoy 6y

#readBlackwomen is happening. #keepingitshort is happening! And I can‘t wait to read this!

hermyknee Ooh I‘ve been wanting to read that one, too! How can I join in?! 6y

JPeterson This was fantastic! I‘ve never been a huge short story fan, but these sucked me in and I couldn‘t put it down. Let me know what you think! 6y

TheNextBook @hermyknee just tag #keepingitshort or #readBlackwome or me while your reading so I can catch your thoughts! You can share this image to if you want. There are quite a few stories so I‘ll more than likely be reading it into March. I read a few stories between each novel. 6y

Weaponxgirl @TheNextBook would you like us to focus on American black women or is any nationality good? I can do either easily, I just like to have an idea of what books I can put at the top of my tbr each month 😊And I really look forward to seeing more of your tbr! 6y
