Papyr.us Pick: Children of Blood & Bone

When I discontinued posting book reviews and hosting book club gatherings earlier this year, I was not so sure that I would resume doing either. I allowed low turnout  to discourage me from carrying on with the Papyr.us Book Club. Despite this reservation, I missed sharing the books I read with you.  That, combined with my belief that reading is one of the most enriching practices we can engage in, has persuaded me to jump back unto the proverbial horse. As 2018 draws to a close and I reassess my involvement on social media and the relevance of maintaining a blog, being an advocate for reading is something that I feel passionate using these platform for. Together with my friend Assata, I cofounded the Papyr.us Book Club to help nurture a community celebrating literature written by people of color, whose diverse stories reflecting myriad personifications and experiences are still underrepresented. Given how I feel about this issue, I'm particularly excited to reveal my first Papyr.us Pick since the hiatus, - Children of Blood and Bone, written by Nigerian America author Tomi Adeyemi.
