Thank you so much. I really appreciate everyone that has read and talked about my @sauutiverse.bsky.social novella! Its getting so much love from readers and I am humbled by it. 🙏🏾🚀 📖☁️
I was lucky enough to hear Wole Talabi read some of his novella "Descent" at Flights of Foundry, and having just finished reading it, I want to make everyone else read it, too. Fascinating worldbuilding; gorgeous images; a thoughtful portrayal of how and why we seek knowledge. tinyurl.com/wt-descent

If you're interested in African Fiction, please also follow the @sauutiverse.bsky.social for SO much book joy.
If you're not? You really should get into it. The stories being told are as excellent as they are mind-changing. Which is precisely why they are being held back by the power structure.
