The year is 2172. Climate change and nuclear disasters have rendered much of earth unlivable.

Only the lucky ones have escaped to space colonies in the sky. In a war-torn Nigeria, battles are fought using flying, deadly mechs and soldiers are outfitted with bionic limbs and artificial organs meant to protect them from the harsh, radiation-heavy climate. Across the nation, as the years-long civil war wages on, survival becomes the only way of life.

Two sisters, Onyii and Ify, dream of more. Their lives have been marked by violence and political unrest. Still, they dream of peace, of hope, of a future together. And they’re willing to fight an entire war to get there.

I finally scheduled a library pickup today (my local library is doing contactless pickup by appointment), because it was time to get our summer reading program rewards! I ended up in charge of picking out everyone’s book because I had left the kids at home to minimize contact (also, I wasn’t sure there would be choices involved this time.) But the librarian helped me sort through the choices and I figured I would do okay. Well, I got home five minutes ago, and my fourteen-year-old is already curled up on the couch with BEASTS MADE OF NIGHT, my ten-year-old squeed at the cover of ENDLING, and of course I am excited to finally have a copy of THERE, THERE, so I guess I did okay! . . #cadl #summerreadingprogram #librarylove #therethere #tommyorange #beastsmadeofnight #tochionyebuchi #endlingthelast #katherineapplegate #booklove #summerreading #familywhoreadstogether https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuGYODACt6/?igshid=1c84li16wrdbx

📚Black Enough📚 . Black Enough is a collection of short stories edited by Ibi Zoboi. It contains stories that explore a span of Black experiences in America ranging from straight, LBGTQ+, wealthy, and poor. There are stories that tackle serious topics such as racism and homophobia but there are also stories that are truly about joy and just being a teenager. My goal going into this collection was to find some new authors to check out and that was definitely accomplished. Some stories that stand out to me are “The Trouble with Drowning” by Dhonielle Clayton, “Black. Nerd. Problems.” by Lamar Giles, and “Kissing Sarah Smart” by Justina Ireland. It’s rare that I come across a collection where I enjoy every story but I did have a good time reading every piece in this collection. . QOTD: Are there any short story collections you enjoy? . #blackenough #ibizoboi #justinaireland #varianjohnson #ritawilliamsgarcia #dhonielleclayton #keklamagoon #leahhenderson #tochionyebuchi #jasonreynolds #nicstone #liaratamani #reneewatson #traceybaptiste #coebooth #brandycolbert #jaycoles #lamargiles #shortstories #ya #bookblogger #bookishcommunity #bookishlovegroup #bookishlove #bookrecommendations #bookstagram (at Wilmington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyuRUJgjBv/?igshid=1r4mooshkd4s4

This is my first introduction to Tochi Onyebuchi. I was quite impressed with this book for the most part because of the very nature of this type of work it represents. It being, that it’s a West African Dystopian Sci-Fi war thriller. I mean, when has that ever been done?? This book has some Wakanda, Terminator (Sarah Conner emphasis), Guardians of the Galaxy vibes all through this, and it made for some great action scenes. The story is told in a side-by-side view of Onyii and Ify, who are two young women that have bonded as sisters through this war ravaged country. They have lived under the radar for some time, and now, war has visited upon them again, and the two of them will have some pretty unique situations that will test their sisterly bond. Onyebuchi takes this time to educate his readers on the Nigeria and Republic of Biafra, civil war. I had previously read about the Biafran civil war in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book, Half of a Yellow Sun, that focused on individual people that were affected by the war that started in 1967. However, Tochi’s perspective and how he weaves the devastating history of this civil war in Nigeria, is masterful. He brings in a historical fiction aspect and melds it with a contemporary, futuristic, and dystopian aspect that works very well in this story. There is a constant revisiting of the past that occurs in this book, which may be metaphorical, as Nigerians and Igbo people constantly look back at this war and the loss of documentation in this period and wonder what happened. I really enjoyed the feminism perspective in this story. Usually when you think about war, you think about men going off to war. It was really engaging to see women go off to war, and be involved in the murder and mayhem that goes on and for it to be completely normal and expected. The ending kind of threw me for a loop, but I’m expecting that the next installment will hopefully tie up any loose ends, my lingering questions, and also bring in more character development. I loved the twists and turns the plot took, and I’m really looking forward to the next installment of Onyii and Ify. #wargirls #tochionyebuchi #dystopian https://www.instagram.com/p/CP30yNMrxuY/?utm_medium=tumblr
