The Disappearers by Marlon James review – a scorching exposé of homophobia in Jamaica
By Yagnishsing Dawoor

This Booker-listed epic set in Aids-era Kingston is a triumph – bitter, bawdy and ravishingly queer

I am a little over halfway through Marlon James' Moon Witch, Spider King. This book is amazing! Every bit as good a read as Black Leopard, Red Wolf. Highly recommended. #MarlonJames #MoonWitchSpiderKing

Last night I started reading Moon Witch, Spider King by Marlon James. From page 1, a fantastic read. I am 50 pages in and will be savoring this book through the month of February.

Howdy! Since you asked…

I just finished the #AudioBook for “The Light Brigade” by #KameronHurley. It was a wild ride; Time travel #SciFi makes me dizzy sometimes.

Before that it was “The Raven Tower” by #AnnLeckie, a #Fantasy #novel featuring a #Trans hero, where the author further explores some of the ideas from her “Ancillary Justice” trilogy —and a lot more.

I’m thinking about buying “Black Leopard, Red Wolf” by #MarlonJames next payday, just because it sounds pretty cool.
