Awkward! Only one #sfbypoc book on my shelves, and it‘s this bizarro journey through a ruined city. #riotgrams
Molly_the_mezzo May I suggest Octavia Butler? She‘s my all-time favorite sci-fi author, and she fits into this category. 5y
twohectobooks @Molly_the_mezzo thanks! I actually read her Lilith‘s Brood/Xenogenesis trilogy a couple of years ago and really liked it + plan to read more of her stuff, it just didn‘t end up on the bookshelf (most of my books come from the library). 5y
twohectobooks @Molly_the_mezzo on a related note, one of the members of my book club ended up with an early edition of the book where Lilith is depicted as a white woman! 🤦🏻♀️ 5y

Molly_the_mezzo @twohectobooks That‘s fascinating! All of her books have Black women as the main characters, so I‘m surprised she started out differently with Lilith. 5y
twohectobooks @Molly_the_mezzo she didn‘t, it was just the publisher either getting it wrong on purpose or by accident. This is the cover illustration, apparently I neglected to mention that in my previous comment 😳 (edited) 5y
Molly_the_mezzo @twohectobooks Oh, man, that‘s awful! 5y
