Episode 040: Children of Blood and Bone by Toni Adeyemi

In this episode we discuss Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

We also talk about Ruth Graham's old essay "Against YA," which had somehow been spammed around the Facebook Group ALA Think Tank the day before recording. (So, we're sorry that we're dragging Ruth Graham again; she's got to be tired of it, too).

Watch out: the sound improves drastically at around 29 minutes and you may want to turn the volume down a bit.

Kim suggests Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, Black Panther (the comic and the movie I presume), Afar by Leila Del Duca, and An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.

Amy suggests Strange the Dreamer as well. She also suggests Fledgling by Octavia Butler (which prompts Kim to suggest the graphic novel version of Kindred).

Molly suggests the works of Tamora Pierce and Avatar: The Last Airbender. She also suggests books by Nnedi Okorafor, prompting us to remember Beasts Made of Night by Tochi Onyebuchi.

Nate suggests The Hate U Give.

Lindsey suggests Strange the Dreamer, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Cash Money suggests Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young.

Amy also suggests (after prompting from Kim) Dread Nation by Justina Ireland.
