The Blerd Library
Приєднався 14 лют 2021
A Black speculative fiction student and recluse who desperately seeks to understand humanity through the fantastical and horrific stories of marginalized peoples. And every now and then, you’ll see Keisha in her rural, basic life, similar to Thanos after he succeeded: gardening, crafts, and a 65lb pittie who conveys just enough judgement in his eyes to make you ashamed of your life choices.
Book Musings: Blood of the Old Kings by Sung-il Kim

Moon Man is the only one that I know of and own. Will add the others to my list.
@DwayneTheGeek i love the art style of moon man 🤩
@theblerdlibrary The art style is so good! I only read the first issue. I'm going to wait for the collected edition to read the whole thing.
UZO’s storyline and art work was amazing… I must cop the ODB and Methodman, I did not know they existed… Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
@Mah_Sh_ell you're welcome! And btw, ODB's comic just came out 2 weeks ago!!!
So glad to see you back here!
My favorite book from him. Triton is a close second.
@rodneyholmes5260 im slowly getting through his catalogue so Triton is def on my list!
Thank you for sharing!!
I loved the fun covers and titles, but Big Jim and the white boy has me dying 😂 I want that book too just by that

Avagail was so bad ass in this series 🔥🔥 read!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just bought this today! Super excited to crack this one open!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🤩🤩🤩
Nalo Hopkinson is a great writer. I first learned about her from DC comics House of Whispers.
I have read Far Sector, The Fifth Season book one and Nubia. A Blade so Black is on my wish list. Earthdivers i have on my radar. Now I'm curious about Black Sun. Riot Baby also on my radar.
It looks so pretty!
😮ooooo also 😂😂
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@MelaninnManga 🥰🥰🥰
😆😆😆😆😆😆
This video was really fantastic, my gf has gotten this book to read and I ran to her when you discussed the fact the author is from Argentina and how there is a lot of femoicde and how it really made all of the themes in the book click into place. Like I was so annoyed with how people dismissed this book cause of the cannibalism when its a tool to discuss how society allows so many horrible things to happen for the sake of comfort! Thank you for making this really detailed review on the themes this book is playing with it really makes me interested to read it someday!
😆😆😆
@@MelaninnManga 🤣🤣🤣
I need this in my life! 🥹😂🤣
It's really good!!
Never knew I needed something so bad.
@@brainless_tm it's a great comic!!
OMG - At 12:55 I was *right* with you!!!!!!!!!
14:08 - I LOVE this story!
YAY! Watching!!!
It's definitely a beautiful cover! 😍😍😍
Ohhkkkaaayyy!!! FACTS tho! 🙂
FACTS!!!! An amazing book. I picked it out as to do a paper in English class in college. I was the only person in the class that did a paper on the book. My favorite quote that hits me every time "Your people contain incredible potential, but they die without using much of it." Shessshhh...I have chills now! 😊 I need 2 read the other books in the series.
The excitement you expressed when you opened the last package makes me want to read that. 😁 Thank you for sharing.
I hope you enjoy it! I have high hopes for it!😊
This one sounds cute
It is!!!😊😊😊
This is the first video I’m seeing of yours and I want to say that as someone who is battling feelings of depression and anxiety, I admire you so much for braving the space that is the internet and being vulnerable in sharing a piece of your story. And you and your hair are stunning!
Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰 and yeah, I’m very open about my diagnoses because mental health, especially in today’s society, shouldn’t be a taboo subject. Being more open about my struggles has helped me and has helped my family and friends in being a better support system when Im struggling. ☺️
Enjoyed the discussion of taboo and the function it plays in the story
It’s a recent deep dive I’ve been on. I really love seeing how taboo is used in spec fic
Oooh very interesting answer for the sisters question. Game of Thrones fans know all too well abt that taboo 😅
I’ve never watch GOT but I’ve heard how it get 😅
Seeing how hype you got for the blood of old kings has immediately got me putting it on my TBR
Im hoping it’s good!!! I hate when the blurb is fantastic and the book falls flat😅
Omg i love that book
@ReginaldCharles-ek6en I'm reading it now and I am so interested in it
Glad you're out of the depressive episode ( I know all about those), I love the hair too! (Your skin tone is beautiful and you could literally pull off any hair color), and yes for protecting mental health. Give us only what you can, no more no less. This bookish stuff is supposed to be fun. the rest of life is stressful enough Masquerade is a beautiful cover!
FACTS!!! Life is so stressful, this is supposed to help me de-stress!! Lol and thank you! I appreciate that! I love playing with color in my hair!! And Masquerade is gorgeous!!
Glad you’re feeling better bestie, also your hair looks super cute!! Love the color 🥰
Oh my goodness , thank you!!! You reminded me I have to cut it again soon!
Idk you were looking real gorgeously stupendous wit the blonde
@user-ny2zn6bd6i thank you!!!!! Honestly, I think it was my nerves that got to me. I've never been blonde so that may have been a shock. My current color is growing out so I'm thinking about trying again.
