Stop pretending you are successfully writing 16 year olds just so you can sell in a more lucrative genre. We noticed. 🤣😅 #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #amwriting #yabooks #bipocauthors #indieauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

Marrow Thieves follows a group of indigenous Canadians through a dystopian world where indigenous people are being hunted for their bone marrow. It not only challenges us to consider the terrifying weight of colonialism, but it’s impact on the world.

I was gifted a copy of this book by Tor Teen Publishing. I have not read it yet. But I’m excited to read it. It follows a pair of Black, magical twins who have to solve the thirty year old murder of their mother in order to save the New Orleans magical community from utter destruction. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #amwriting #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

I haven’t read this yet. I just received it this week as an early review copy from Grand Central Publishing. It follows Katrina Kim as her obsession with her coworker, Kurt, threatens to unravel her life. Broadly stated, it is a psychological thriller about a stalker who finds out that she is also, in fact, being stalked. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #indieauthors #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing #amwriting

I read an advanced reader copy of The Lies of AJUNGO this week. I loved it. It was a very short, easy read and yet it managed to tackle huge concepts like systemic power, disability and the power of a misinformation campaign. Can’t wait for you all to be able to read it so we can discuss! #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #amwriting #indieauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

Angel of Greenwood is a retelling of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. It follows two young Black teenagers: Isaiah and Angel, as they enjoy their last few weeks on Black Wallstreet. It was written for a younger audience and manages to capture the horror of one of the most horrific attacks on Black America without the graphic details many comparable books offer. 5/5 ⭐️. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #bipocauthors #writewithmichael#writingcommunity Grab a copy: https://bookshop.org/a/87137/9781250821294

INDIE BOOK REVIEW: This book follows Brandi and a group of young people who were given extraordinary gifts/powers from the gods as they blur the lines between loyalty to the divine and loyalty to country. It explores black spirituality and what it means to be gifted but not free. Highly recommend! 4/5 ⭐️ #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #indieauthors #writingcommunity #amwriting Grab a copy: https://amzn.to/3WxUGVS
