@broughtyoubooks This is the one - I got a paperback version for about $40 CAD a bunch of years ago.
If you read too many at once it ruins the impact, so I found reading one interview every week or two was perfect for me to spread it out and fully digest each one.

broughtyoubooks Thank you! 2mo

If you haven‘t seen it, today‘s Google doodle (U.S.) honors award-winning sci-fi author Octavia E. Butler - one of the first female sci-fi authors and the first sci-fi author to receive a MacArthur Fellowship.

If you‘ve been thinking about picking up some Octavia Butler, today‘s the day....a bunch of her books and series are part of today‘s kindle sale on amazon!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa See any you need @TheNextBook 7y

TheNextBook Omg! I'll have to look as soon as I get home! I think I need Lilliths Brood 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheNextBook Lilith‘s Brood is The trilogy Dawn, Imago, and Adulthood Rights if that helps. I think you‘ve read those already. 7y

TheNextBook I've read them but now I need to buy them! 😫 7y

moranadatter Thanks! I‘ll see if I‘m missing any. 7y

In the last 2 years there has been a newly published edition of Parables is Sower/Talents. Last years are on the right side, this years on the left. As a birthday 🎁 I to myself I am getting them just not sure which ones.My instinct is to buy the ones on the right (aren‘t they stunning) but it seems weird that they redid the covers so quickly and I want to know if anything else is redone. Which should I get?

Can't think of a better #seasonsreadings2016 ... this was just from one bookcase in one room! I didn't even go to the other 5 spots to look because the thought of reshelving dozens of books was too much. #weneeddiversebooks #lovemyOctavia #onlyoneofmanyToniMorrison #forgotTheRoundHouse #soooooomanymorebooks
