BUZZWORD Readathon – 7-13 May 2018
I am doing new reading challenge – BUZZWORD Readathon.
The challenge is being hosted by YouTuber BooksandLala:
The 2018 BUZZWORD is girl.
The reading challenge will run from 7-13 May 2018. There are no restrictive rules except to read a book with the word girl in the title.
I have 22 books on my Kindle with the word girl in the title. And, I’ve decided to read Brown Girl In the Ring by Nalo Hopinkson.
Book Summary
The rich and privileged have fled the city, barricaded it behind roadblocks, and left it to crumble. The inner city has had to rediscover old ways-farming, barter, herb lore. But now the monied need a harvest of bodies, and so they prey upon the helpless of the streets. With nowhere to turn, a young woman must open herself to ancient truths, eternal powers, and the tragic mystery surrounding her mother and grandmother.
She must bargain with gods, and give birth to new legends.
