Have you read the first book in the Binti series? Let us know what you thought!

Here's our take on the joys of Binti and author Nnedi Okorafor...

It's on my 'list of books' to read so am hoping I win a copy and if not will buy myself.

Math, mysteries, and medusae, oh my!

This was my first Okorafor, and my first Afrofuturist novella. It definitely won't be my last.

It's a month late, but here's my review.

This is great, David! Do you have any specific Afrofuturist works that you're looking at next?

Thanks! First up is to finish the Binti trilogy. I have a few by Octavia Butler on my TBR: Wild Seed, and the Xenogenesis trilogy. There's also N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season, for more of a fantasy-flavored Afrofuturism. Then perhaps back to Okorafor with Who Fears Death. I'm open to other recs!

I loved Binti and Home! Can hardly wait for the audio of the third, Night Masquerade. A great female lead, strong and steeped in her culture as well as rebelling from Traditional roles. wonderful story.

And just found Night Masquerade on Hoopla!!!
