Death Note, Vol. 1

Tsugumi Ohba

This story completely blew my mind and forever changed what I thought about thrillers as a genre. (I’d recommend “Death Note” for readers ages 14 and up — it sounds darker than it is, and it doesn’t get too graphic.)

Parts of this book rendered me speechless. This is a story steeped in generational secrets, filled with sharp and witty dialogue, and it features a unique and unforgettable twist.

This is one of my favourite stories I have ever written! ‘Sting Like a Butterfly’ is a joyful short story about a young Black muslim girl who wants to be a boxer like her hero Muhammad Ali Illustrated by the phenomenal talent that is @bRakustar01 🔥 Kofi’s art is everything 🖤 https://t.co/u8NKWrP5nr https://t.co/AzppQ80U4f
