Since I rediscovered my love of #Horror in 2020, I've been trying to branch out to different sub-types. @booksinthefreezer 2022 challenge has been the perfect opportunity to read more horror. I have to say I absolutely loved Bitter Root Volume 1 and I've already started Volume 2. The story of the Sangeryes family and their battle against the jinoo immediately sucked me in. The artwork is amazing and the story compelling. I'm completely invested in Ma Etta, Blink, Berg, Cullen, and the rest of the Sangeryes clan. The various articles at the end of the graphic novel only added to the story and emphasized #representationmatters #GraphicNovel #BitterRoot #RootMagic #RacismIsHorror #RacistsAreMonsters #blacklivesmatter #BlackHistory #SteamFunk #BooksInTheFreezerReadingChallenge2022 #nerdymamabooks #blackgirlsreadbookstoo #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CY-q6nZg_Fv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seriously tho yall. You should check out these graphic novels. It's not just the story but the articles included afterwards in #BitterThoughts are punch you in the gut inciteful. I have to find Volume 3 somewhere ASAP #GraphicNovel #BitterRoot #Blerd #BlackComics #RootMagic #RacismIsHorror #nerdymamabooks #nerdymama #blackgirlsreadbookstoo #POCbookstagrammer #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CZF6BC2r5qw/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the few times I don't mind having the movie/TV adaption cover versus the original artwork. Because #LovecraftCountry on HBO was amazing. Jonathan Majors and Journee Smollett deserve #alltheawards for their roles. . I purposely waited to start the book until after I finished the 1st season on HBO. While the show does differ slightly than the book the show keeps a lot of the feel and important aspects of the novel. The novel has an episodic feel that lent itself to television well. Ruff does a good job of mixing the supernatural with the horror of Jim Crow and racism. I would definitely suggest this read for fans of the show. 4.5/5 #BookReview #blackandwhite #RacismIsHorror #TheBookWasBetter #maybenotthistime #TheShowIsDamnGood #ERReading #nerdymama #nerdybooks #blackgirlsread #POCbookstagrammer #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGx-o32gdet/?igshid=1i9ckwg8t93ep
