For those wanting me to keep track of your numbers, please either comment below with how many you read this month OR feel free to make your own post using the hashtag #AAMOB with your total. I‘m tagging in my first comment those whom I‘ve already put in the log for this month. No need to repost on here.
July brings us Mary Roach, some very informative nonfiction.
pickI first read this amazing story a few years ago for my book club and this time I re-read it on audio. I still love this book and following Dana back and forth in time as she continues to save her slave master relative I order to ensure that her slave ancestor has his child and produces her family line. Each visit becomes more harrowing as Rufus ages. #AuthorAMonth #AAMOB
pickI really enjoyed Butler‘s take on vampires and this story. Learning about Shori, a 53 year old vampire child who awakens with no memory of who she is or where she comes from made for an engrossing read. I loved learning about Butler‘s take on the vampire myth and their interactions with other vampire families. I further love the social commentary Butler included in the story. #AuthorAMonth #AAMOB
pickFirst Octavia Butler book for the month completed. I really enjoyed this graphic novel adaptation of Butler‘s Parable of the Sower. Having key points from the novel taken and used to help depict the story was wonderfully done. Here‘s hoping to do a graphic novel for Parable of the Talents. #AuthorAMonth #AAMOB
