The Reformatory

October is Black Speculative Fiction month, the perfect opportunity for me to become a @tananarivedue completist. I’ve read (survived?) “The Reformatory” and am halfway through “Ghost Summer”, one of Due’s short story collections.

Heartbroke
Chelsea Bieker
My #FridayReads is @chelseabieker "Heart Broke" which I am so enjoying. It's Claire Vaye Watkins "Battleborn" with @pludger "F*ckface" humor and I just don't want it to end. I'm reading it on Kindle so enjoy this dorky mock-up I have created so you'll buy the book. https://t.co/TEcWnKeQyU
