so this month I'm doing a reading mini-challenge where I only read books by Black authors [as part of Black History Month], I did this last year too.

so far I've read:

- Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa [0]
- A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde [review will be published tomorrow]

up next in my queue I have:

- Dawn by Octavia E. Butler
- Birth of a Dynasty by Chinaza Bado
- Forged by Blood by Ehigbor Okusun

those three I bought on Kobo ebook store sales in the past couple months so I'll be reading ebook copies of them!

I think this will be my second Octavia E. Butler, I read Parable of the Sower many years ago [ I don't remember any of it tbh, just that I read it ]
