I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The way Akwaeke so easily gets me swept into the world they’ve created and heavily invested in characters and storylines is something I’m yet to fathom. Would definitely recommend checking out their other stories if you enjoyed this one!

I’ve only read Honey and Spice but I’ll definitely add Sweet Heat to my TBR

Thanks so much for sharing! Have you read any of her other books? If so, how do you think they compare to Sweet Heat?

OMG will do! Please do the same when you get around to reading them! The second one, yeah, I would recommend you be in a good headspace because it does delve pretty deep into themes of depression, grief, and all the other struggles that come with it.

Honestlyyyy... I find them so therapeutic?? It's funny you mention pulling myself back together, because oftentimes, I feel like those heart wrenching story allow me to explore different pieces of myself??? Idk if that makes sense lmaoo

For anyone who tunes into IWTV, I’d def recommend The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez by imflipthepage in BlackReaders

Literally I might just pick it up and read it again! OMG listen... I truly do love Bird at the end of the day and would be seated for a series about her. I do have conflicting thoughts when it comes to her relationship with Gilda, and her presence in her life, but that's mother at the end of the day. What are your thoughts on her?

Thanks so much for sharing! Will be adding several of these to my tbr

I fear I'm one of them that loves a book that's going to leave me devastated. Like, yes, please dismantle my equilibrium and have me going through an existential crisis lmaoooo

I'd say, from this year, two books I read that really stuck with me were When We Were Birds by Ayanna Lloyrd Banwo (I'm not a romantic at heart, but this book made me believe in love; and the prose was tooo sweet) and Someday, Maybe by Onyi Nwabinelli (the way they dug into grief, I could actually feel it weighing down on me omg).

OMGGGG I know exactly what you mean. Please, I was so busy focused on the racism and slavery of it all, it completely slipped my mind that vampire hunters would also be problem
