What are you reading to start off December? I’ve been slowly devouring Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko and I love it. Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite stories and the characters and world building is so choice. I can’t wait to see this on screen! I think im going to read a romance next. It’s been pretty stressful and I still want to read, but I’ll take a quick break from the epic fantasies. It’ll be a good chance to catch up on some romances and settle into the month. . . . . . . #bookstagram #currentlyreading #cozyreading #cozyspot #cozynook #readingspot #cozytime #booksandtea #readingtime #afternoonreading #teatime #comfortzone #homebody #homelife #homesweethome #fantasybooks #booksaremylife #bookblogger #booklove #readersofinstagram #booksofig #stayhomeclub — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3EDuYpC

[NEWSFLASH] Raybearer and Redemptor are being adapted for @Netflix by Gina Atwater (lead writer @westworldhbo)! Producers include Macros (@sorry2botheryou). Our guess is that @TessaMaeThompson will make an appearance! You can purchase *signed* hardcover copies of both books in the series from our @facebookapp, @instagram, @shopify, @tiktok, @pinterest stores or the audiobook @librofm! Link in bio: @sistahscifi | https://sistahscifi.com/products/raybearer-hardcover?_pos=1&_sid Better yet, you can check it out at your local #library! Reposted from @afictionalinterlude #AfrocentricAprilBookstaTour Day 19 Theme: Sci-Fi/Fantasy If you think the covers of these books are beautiful, wait until you delve into the world itself! The Raybearer duology is a Young Adult fantasy series by Nigerian-American author, Jordan Ifueko. The story is set in a fictional empire, Aritsar ruled by an Emperor bonded to 11 council members through the power of the Ray. The series draws heavily on aspects of West African, and more specifically, Nigerian culture, folktales and mythology to build a stunningly rich world that is super immersive. Over the course of the series, we watch the protagonist, Tarisai fully come into her own. The story is rife with commentary about the patriarchy, gender discrimination and inequality, feminism, imperialism, class disparity and social injustice and I adore how well it was written. Raybearer is currently being adapted for television and I cannot wait to behold what truly is coming. I hope they do justice to the imagery. -----‐‐-----------‐--------------------------------- Reposted from @jordanifueko News is FINALLY out!! An adaptation of the #RAYBEARER series is in development with #Netflix, and the head writer is Gina Atwater, head writer on Westworld (!!). Producers include Sugar23 (Dickinson, The OA) & Macro (Fences, Sorry to Bother You). 🎉🎉 I've been sitting on this news for approximately eight skillion years and I'm ecstatic to finally celebrate with all of you 😭 . . . . #bookstagram #Raybearer #Redemptor #JordanIfueko #GinaAtwater #Westworld #Netflix #BooktoTVAdaptions #WestAfricanYAFantasy #YAFantasy #sistahscifi @abramsboo https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCMA1-rl3V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What’s your favorite duology? I just finished Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko over the weekend making this and Raybearer one of my favorite duologies ever. I love duologies because it’s just the right amount of book for me. Not too long and not a stand-alone so there’s always something to look forward to without having to wait years for each book in the series. But Redemptor was so good. It had me captivated from the beginning with lots of adventure/action, political intrigue, a little romance (or non-romance 👀), and the ending made me tear up a bit. Loved the addition of more folklore, the inclusion of so many different cultures, and Tarisai is one of my favorite characters. I just really loved this one and as others have told me, it’s even better than the first. I definitely can’t wait to see it on the big screen. . . . . . . #bookstagram #currentlyreading #studygram #studymotivation #studytime #readingjournal #bookjournal #journaling #journaltherapy #readingandwriting #workspaceinspo #stationerylove #redemptor #jordanifueko #booksandsnacks #bookstack #booksandtea #teatime #afternoonsnack #afternoonteatime #readathome #stayhomeandread #homebody — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3Ge1Upc

📢August 2020 New YA Book Release

Raybearer

Jordan Ifueko

Amulet Books

August 18, 2020

Nothing is more important than loyalty.

But what if you’ve sworn to protect the one you were born to destroy?

Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince’s Council of 11. If she’s picked, she’ll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood.

Looooooooove this #bookmail podt!! You are definitely ready for summer, locd and lit!! You can purchase these titles from our @instagram, @facebook, @shopify, @tiktok, @librofm (audiobook) or @pinterest stores. Link in bio: @sistahscifi. Better yet, check it out from your local #library!!! Reposted from @locd_and_lit Oooh weeeee!! My summer reading situation is looking so lit! Here's my recent book haul from the amazing @sistahscifi 📚An Unkindness of Ghosts & Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon - So I just finished reading The Deep and I am still processing the wajinru and their parallels to all of us in the Diaspora. It was my first Rivers Solomon read and they instantly became an auto-buy. It also inspired me to start my own personal read-a-thon to read the rest of their work this summer. I plan to start with Unkindness first. Drop some Rivers Solomon love in the comments below if you've read and appreciate any of their work. I am so ready to keep going. 📚Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko @jordenifueko - So bookstagram made me me do it but I’m really excited about this one. Black girl magic is hardly ever an L. The gold outline on the cover is also 👌🏾. It just hit my eye as I was taking it out the box and it helped up the excitement factor. 📚Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden @nickydrayden - So my cart was already over budget (went there solely for the Rivers Solomon 🤦🏾‍♀️) but I was scrolling through all the tabs anyway when this synopsis caught my eye. And once again I’m a sucker for a good cover 🤷🏾‍♀️. Hoping this one doesn't disappoint. Let me know your thoughts if you've read it already. What are some of your recent book buys? How's the summer TBR looking? #sistahscifi #shopblack #shoplocal #blackownedbusiness #blackwomanowned #raybearer #jordanifueko #sorrowland #anunkindnessofghosts #riverssolomon #escapingexodus #nickydrayden #locdandlit #blackgirlmagic #afrofuturism #blackscifi #bipocbookstagram #nickydrayden (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfE59xvJh-4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
