#5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook where you chose five books from your to-be-read pile that fit that week’s theme. If you’d like more info, head over to the announcement post!
Hello, reader!
It’s Monday and that means it’s time to poke through my TBR and talk about another five books. This week’s 5 On My TBR is all about books with titles that start with the letter I! Which, apparently, is not common, at least on my TBR. That made picking five books to feature at lot easier than usual, haha.
That being said, let’s dive on in!
#1. I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
Stephen Graham Jones is slowly becoming one of my favorite horror authors. I loved his take on werewolves in Mongrels, the first book in his Indian Lake trilogy blew my mind, and I devoured The Only Good Indians. So I have to assume that his newest release will keep the hits coming. The premise is that we’re following a kid that has been cursed to kill for revenge. It sounds like it’ll be a wild ride and I’m excited to jump on board!
#2. Ikenga by Nnedi Okorafor
Nnedi Okorafor is another author that I love to read. Her science fiction and her afrofuturism always pull me in and I have a great time reading her novels! This is a middle grade novel she wrote in 2020 that is about a young boy on a quest for revenge. It sounds like it will be action-packed and filled with magic! Besides, I need more books in the house with young, Black boys as the protagonists and this seems like it’ll be the perfect fit.
