The Good Stuff

a quick blast of what I'm currently loving and A VOTE! (Today only!)

Happy Friday, everyone!

Well, our six finalists for May’s Read With Me series have been whittled down to two. And it’s a 50-50 split, so paying subscribers, be sure and vote at the bottom of this post. Every vote counts!

Here are your two finalists:

The Book of Ayn by Lexi Freiman (recommended by Bookshop.org Andy Hunter on Episode #116 of Books Are My People. Listen here.)

This is a satire about a writer who is shunned by the literary establishment, and in her pain, decides to buy into Ayn Rand’s philosophies. A personal odyssey of sorts that explores ideas of freedom and what it is to live in this moment in time. 240 pages

and

A Kind of Madness by Uche Okonkwo (short fiction) 208 pages

This collection of short fiction is set in Nigeria and explores themes of community expectations, familial strife, and the struggle for survival.
