Up & Coming:
Children of Blood and Bone
by Tomi Adeyemi
This book isn’t even out yet, but the buzz has
been brewing ever since this sister received a
seven-figure book and movie deal for her epic
fantasy novel about a young woman trying to
bring the power of magic back to her beloved
home. It’s listed as YA, but don’t let that stop you.
By all accounts, this story is like nothing you’ve
ever seen before. You can read an excerpt here,
then order the book, which comes out on March
6, 2018!
Up & Coming:
Song of Blood and Stone
by L. Penelope
Can I get some love with my sci-fi? Yes, ma’am!
For those of you who live and breathe for the
romance of life, I give you the 2016 Black Caucus
of the ALA Self-published award-winning, Song
of Blood and Stone! Set in a fictional world where
Jasminda is struggling to find her place in a
world that shuns her people and fears the power
she possesses, L. Penelope knows how to tell a
story that balances extraordinary world building,
suspense, and action with a timeless love story
that takes the magic of this story to another level.
The book won’t be out until May 1st, but you can
pre-order your copy here and read some of the
reviews that make this book so highly-anticipated.
