LibroFM is having an Indie Bookshop Appreciation Sale
The sale includes, Blackheart Man by Nalo Hopkinson
My Review:
Myth, Magic and History blend on the island of Chynchin. Threatened by an imperial power it's population looks to its mythical past for solutions.
Veycosi, a local scoundrel and history student with the heart of an engineer, is tasked with studying the magical victory that earned Chynchin its independence.
This is not a simplistic story, with plucky egalitarian islanders as the good guys and the empire as the villains. The island is not perfect and has its share of sins.
Veycosi is very much a representation of the powers of ADHD and is constantly getting into trouble, weather by his own actions or due to the magical nature of Chynchin.
He reminded me of the Jewish story about the difference between a Shlumiel and a Shlimazel.
The Shlumiel when carrying a bowl of soup will inevitably drop it over someone.
The Shlimazel is the person that somehow manages to allways find himself in the path of the soup.
Veycosi somehow manages to embody both aspects of such misfortune.
The magical island of Chynchin is facing conquerors from abroad and something sinister from within in this entrancing fantasy from the Grand Master Award–winning author Nalo Hopkinson.Veycosi, in training as a griot (an historian and musician), hopes to sail off to examine the rare Alamat Book of Light and thus secure a spot for himself on...
LibroFM is having an Indie Bookshop Appreciation Sale
The sale includes Premee Mohamed's wonderful novella: The Annual Migration of Clouds
My Review:
This story starts with an acceptance letter to university in one of the remaining domes.
It is not the story of a girl from the waists struggling to integrate into privileged society.
This is a story about leaving a struggling community and an overprotective parent, with a mysterious fungal parasite to boot.

I've been trying to ditch all my US-based services and replace them with European services but #LibroFM is just one I cannot drop. They're great.
Besides, for every DRM-free #audiobook I purchase, they give some money to my local bookstore here in Norway, @prismaticpages
7/9 – Customizing #Android settings on the #booxpalma has definitely been quite a learning curve, after only using Apple stuff for the past 15 years, but I'm getting there.
Why on earth do I need to "unfreeze" apps, and keep enabling them in the playstore for them to not dissapear?
Using the Niagara launcher removes a lot of clutter from the default apps lying around. And I was actually a bit surprised to see that I could connect the airpods without much hassle, for audiobooks with #librofm.
