Pickpick

Stories have power and this one needs to be required reading!
My middle school teachers (to their credit) tried to supplement our sanitized textbooks with other (less false) sources, and projects/exercises (make of that what you will), but I still needed that re-education I got in community college, and I am thankful for it.
Bookwise: I am hooked on OEB, and I can't wait to read more of her.

I never post about books on social media other than here, but I had to for this quote.

I only heard of and became interested in Octavia E. Butler because of Litsy, when someone I followed was reading her work. I may be misremembering, but I think it was @TheNextBook
Whomever it was, thank you for the introduction. Flash forward and I have EAB books I own but just haven't got to. I'm taking this time (and this readathon) to finally read her and finally #readblackauthors
Overdue, yes, but better late than never
