#diversefantasy

Almost 4 months ago, @wahidaclark and I set out to create a space in sci-fi/fantasy where BIPOC authors, and our allies could be unapologetically amplified. We called it (SF/F)or the Culture. We brought on board dope authors like @debreneebyrd @jon_dough_series @zed.amadeo and @dbbraythewriter and if your not following them you should. We know there are gatekeepers, especially in the world of literature and SFF and so @sffortheculture is meant to be siege engine, a scaling ladder, a battering ram. We are here to show the world that #blackauthorsmatter #blackstoriesmatter and #blackstorieshavepower ✊🏿 We are here to #amplifymelanatedvoices and bring the world more #blackgirlmagic and #blackboyjoy 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 We are @sffortheculture and I am inordinately proud of what we are building. #ownvoices #letsreadownvoices #blackhistory #fantasy #scifi #SFF #Afrofuturism #StreetLit #WahidaClark #diversefantasy #diversebooks #blackpublishing #blackpublishingpower #diversityinpublishing #swordandsoul #readsoullit #blackbookstagram #bookstagram #bipocbookstagram #blackauthors #bipocauthors #supportblackauthors #buyblack #supportblackbusinesses https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcCygnAGMT/?igshid=1tt8vf69vakul

Parable of the Sower meets A Game of Thrones in this diverse epic fantasy The Road of Resistance: Part One hailed as "Stirring, gritty, connected, and epic. A great read!" by @christian_cameron_author of #theredknight and #artifactspace Okay. Even though dystopians/sci-fi/fantasies aren't my top genre, let's just say this book gave me LIFE in many ways. -@BooksByJanee Description: When a mysterious AI goes rogue, trapping military technology in the 6th Century civilization collapses into apocalyptic chaos! With the country fallen corrupt officials force low income households, and student loan debtors into state sanctioned slavery while human traffickers roam, and the elite vie with hate groups using replicas of ancient weapons to carve out kingdoms of their own! To millions locked in a desperate struggle for survival, hope is but a memory, but the prophecies of an inner-city preacher foretell a leader forged in the crucible of desolation… With life in his inner city home becoming a dystopian nightmare, things are bleak...but Chessed has a plan. Using lessons from a complicated past, he sets out to protect his family, but when a supply raid spirals out of control he finds himself forced to embrace his destiny! Using combat skills honed in the S.C.A. Chessed raises the sword he never thought he'd use, and unites his community facing down tyranny to rebuild a post-apocalyptic society! Perfect for fans of Red Rising, The Handmaid's Tale, Edge of Collapse, or Shadow and Bone this thrilling tapestry of urban fantasy, military science fiction, and sword and sorcery is a must read!

What’s the most beautiful cover in your 2021 TBR so far? For me, I think that the cover for Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s The Beautiful Ones is definitely up there! It’s absolutely gorgeous. Synopsis: They are the Beautiful Ones, Loisail’s most notable socialites, and this spring is Nina’s chance to join their ranks, courtesy of her well-connected cousin and his calculating wife. But the Grand Season has just begun, and already Nina’s debut has gone disastrously awry. She has always struggled to control her telekinesis—neighbors call her the Witch of Oldhouse—and the haphazard manifestations of her powers make her the subject of malicious gossip. When entertainer Hector Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. A telekinetic like her, he has traveled the world performing his talents for admiring audiences. He sees Nina not as a witch, but ripe with potential to master her power under his tutelage. With Hector’s help, Nina’s talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are for fairytales, and Hector is hiding a truth from Nina — and himself—that threatens to end their courtship before it truly begins. 🍃🍂🍃 Thank you @torbooks for sending me a complimentary copy for review purposes! 💚 [Image Description: A photograph of an advanced reader copy of The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia laid out on a wooden table between 2 planters.
