Welcome to Litsy!

Looks like some adventuring is in our future! #blackgirlmagic #historicallyaccuratedragons

I‘m still learning African and African diaspora religions, but every time a deity I‘ve learned about pops upIn the book I‘m reading I get excited. #blackgirlmagic #historicallyaccuratedragons

In the second chapter and this book reminds me of Tracy Chapman‘s song Fast Car.

“Won‘t have to drive too far, just cross the border and into the city. You and I can both get jobs, finally see what it means to be living.”

Stories about magical children coming of age are my current jam. Can anyone suggest stories with protag s that are not-white? I‘ve got magical Black girl covered, but I‘ll always take more suggestions. #historicallyaccuratedragons

It took me a minute to get into the book, but then I was hooked. A 13 year old magical Black girl comes of age while traveling through a dangerous jungle to rescue her dying friend. The characters are well-realized and the world building is phenomenal. (Note: this book takes place in the same universe as the novel Who Fears Death and the short stories The Winds of Harmattan and From the Lost Diary of TreeFrog7.) #historicallyaccuratedragons

This book is so good. Reading it reminds me of being thirteen and my love for exclamation points at that age.#blackgirlmagic #historicallyaccuratedragons #recommendsday

With the humidity making the air feel like soup, I‘m starting to really get into the atmosphere of this book. #historicallyaccuratedragons

From my notes, “this world building is what happens when the author has been raised in a society that is cis-and heteronormative, Christian dominated, and accepts white supremacy as how life should be.” #historicallyaccuratedragons

In my notes from reading, “the world building appears to have stopped at magical and vaguely European.” #historicallyaccuratedragons
