![White Author Claims Medication Made Her Racist? 🧐 Review bombing, mental health, & publishing [CC]](/img/tr.png)
You made an excellent point that authors are not obligated to out their mental or physical disorders. Didn’t even think of that. I never cared if the author has the disorder that is talked about in a book.
My tbr grows faster than my reading pace can keep up with
Hehe love you, Bex
I'm a white person from Norway, my ancestors going back as far as we know are from here. So, When No One Is Watching is not something that speaks to my lived experience, but HOLY SHIT that book scared the shit out of me!!!!!!! I would listen to the audiobook going on a walk and would have to stop myself from screaming a couple of times. I keep seeing people leaving bad reviews for amazing books because they don't identify with the characters and the setting and it baffles me. Like ALL you have to do is empathise? it feels like something is broken in them, the part that just let's you put yourself in other peoples shoes. I would feel sorry for them if they weren't causing harm with their attitudes. On a brighter note, I'm so excited Alyssa Cole has another book coming out! I can't wait to read it!
this!!
I totally agree! I can't figure out how anyone didn't find it scary, it was so tense and gave me so much anxiety
Also I don't really need to relate to the characters to be invested in their stories. I already don't relate to a lot of characters in stories in general but it does not affect the quality of any said story at all
how dare y’all put so many amazing-sounding new books on my radar when i JUST promised myself not to buy more books for a long while 😩 ❤️
hehe
haha, same. I've got my library apps open.
I've been WAITING for Alyssa Cole to come out with another thriller/horror.
yessssss
I just added a lot of Alyssa Cole's books to my Goodreads TBR since the premise of No One Knows But Us intrigues me
My most anticipated release by a Black author is Dead Girls Walking by Sami Ellis. It’s a YA horror slasher set on a summer camp for horror-obsessed queer girls. I simply had to pre-order to get my hands on it ASAP😳
Never ever added a book to tbr so fast
I have a few I wanted to share that I think might interest you:
Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma (black vampires + boarding school)
The 7-10 Spilt by Karmen Lee (a black Sapphic romance involving bowling)
The Partner Plot by Kristina Forest
Where sleeping girls lie is actually featured in this video, but the other ones are new! SO excited now, thank you x 10!!!
I found a copy of where the sleeping girls lie at Barnes & Noble’s so if you go to your local Barnes & Noble‘s, you might be able to find one.
Do you have a video detailing your feelings and opinions about "disability as a plot device"? I share some of your sentiment, and i would love to hear other black readers' thoughts. Thank you ❤ great video!
This is a beautiful question, thank you. Didn't realize someone would be interested in my thoughts on this matter!
lmfaooo the “please be queer” when talking about the synopsis of Out of Body reminds me of my cousin trying to add to her TBR 🤣
Thank y'all for this video! Not only did I add several books to my personal TBR but (perhaps more importantly?) I've written down several titles as purchase suggestions for the queer bookshop I volunteer at, since I'm part of its inventory team.
Which reminds me, at our latest meeting we odered copies of "High-risk Homosexual" and "Punch me up to the gods", titles I've suggested and both got put on my radar by y'all.
So if y'all want to take some credit of being the reason Sweden's only queer bookshop soon will have them in stock, y'all are definitely free to do so 😉
This is an amazing list! I’m here for all books about vampires. Another title that I’m looking forward to is Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma which (surprise!) also features vampires. It also has a stunning cover
Adding to tbr
Tysm for sharing!!!
The Space Between Worlds has a sequel?? How am I just now hearing about this?!
For the first half of the year, I am looking forward to:
River Mumma by Zalika Reid-Benta (I loved her book of short stories)
Parasol Against the Axe by Helen Oyeyemi (with her I just know it's going to be deeply weird)
The House of Broken Bricks by Fiona Williams (family drama)
A Kind of Madness by Uché Okonkwo (short stories)
While We Were Burning by Sara Koffi (thriller)
The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé (historical fiction)
Skin & Bones by Renée Watson (contemporary)
Allow Me to Introduce Myself by Onyi Nwabineli (her first novel was so bittersweet)
The Road to the Country by Chigozie Obioma (The Fishermen is amazing)
Swift River by Essie J. Chambers (family drama)
One of Our Kind by Nicola Yoon (I am interested to see how she writes for adults)
I am Jamaican. Broughtupsy is pronounced ( brought-up- sy) I am also queer and excited to see so many Jamaican authors writing about queer experiences, although I prefer horror so I haven't read any yet. Marlon James' dark star trilogy is on my tbr though
you're amazing, ty
It made me laugh hearing it because I'm like so many people are going to say it the same way. I had the same reaction with the book a few years ago where kept saying obeah wrong even the audiobook said it wrong and I just had to stop and ask myself how we have managed to spread so much of our culture but not the language.
@@AishaTheBibliophile 💯‼️
YOOO!!!
I have several on my list, too. 2024 is going to be a great year of books. Two of my most anticipated books are not on your list: James by Percival Everett and There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraqib
Added both! Tyty so much
Not me jumping up and down so excited when I saw my rec was first on y'all's list!!! 😍
Also, just found out about another book by a Black author I think y'all would love! It's called The lion's den by Iris Mwanza - and it's also queer!
Added “Lost Ark Dreaming” and “Bless the Blood” to my TBR. Thank you!:)
I had no idea Micaiah Johnson had a new book coming out. Her debut was a solid 5 stars for me. She’s def a auto-buy author now. Thanks for letting me know!!
got u, friend ✊🏽💗
I screamed when learning this, her debut was my favourite book of 2022!
I also gifted it to my dad, who also loved it, and I'm definitely going to text him with this information
Sorry I forgot to mention the author’s name! Her name is Sun-Mi Hwang and hopefully y’all will have the time to read her book!
Jordan ifueko also has a new book set in the Raybearer universe coming out this summer, called The Maid and the Crocodile. It is definitly on the top of my list 🎉
Ty x10
❤ the Jamaican book is called BROUGHT UP SEE. Its a Jamaican Patois word describing how you are raised. I was playing this in the background and almost choked drinking my drink when you said it like that. 😂 its going to be hilarious to hear everyone saying it.
🤣
LMAO AISHA LEAVE OUR OREO ASS ALONE 💀 hehe thank u for the schooling. Come roast us anytime ;)
Loved this list, had some of these on my radar but even more I'm adding to the watch and explore more list . Thanks, there's way too much to keep track of without help.
Thank you for taking the time to curate this list...I am soooo EXCITED ❤
Y'all informing and educating everyone with all these exciting books and I've definitely put a few on my TBR (So Let Them Burn is definitely near the top for me)! Thank you so much!📚💖✨
'When No One Is Watching' also gave me a panic attack. So I'm eagerly waiting for Alyssa Cole's new release. Fingers crossed 'One of Us Knows' handles DID with care and without sensationalizing the experience of living with said diagnosis. Thank you for once again adding to my tbr! Every book I've ever picked up upon a recommendation of yours has ended up being a favorite. 💜
🖤📖🖤Looking forward to reading Blood at the Root.
Me too!
Thanks for compiling all of these titles! My TBR has exploded.
Thank you, this video was so informative and fun. I have Those Beyond The Wall in my hands and I'm beyond excited
So many amazing books! Thanks for the great video!
You know I’ve never looked at When no one is watching how you described it. I personally didn’t care for it BUT i absolutely agree with your statement. It makes me look at the book in a different light now. Thank you for that .
So excited for the new Alyssa Cole. When No One Is Watching had me looking over my shoulder for WEEKS when I was reading it and after.
Just when i was getting my tbr list curated to read as many authors who look like me. I will never not be in my vampire era, btw. I will be rewatching this video because i love your takes on books.
This tender comment 💗a gift
@@JesseOnUA-cam I found your channel last month and have been enjoying your recaps. Especially the way you center the African diaspora, queerness, and mental health in your reviews.
Thank you for taking the time to bring us this information.
Peace.
Dig your channel...long term subscriber.
omfg really?! thank you so much!! it means a lot that you stayed unlike my father LMAO
Such an incredible list thanks for putting it together. I’m so excited for Mirrored Heavens and here’s a few more I’m looking forward to🌻
Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma- dark academia with vampires
Bluff: Poems by Danez Smith
Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi- west African hades and Persephone
THANK U FOR PUTTING MASQUERADE ON OUR RADAR AND DANEZ' new work! Ur incredible
Who is your favorite character in the between earth and sky trilogy?
I loved So Let Them Burn and I'm currently reading The Principle of Moments and I'm really enjoying it so far! I've been following Hayley Dennings for a few years now, I found her through a pitch for her sapphic dragon book on Twitter and literally every project she's talked about sounds amazing, so This Ravenous Fate is def in my top 5 most anticipated books this year.
Pre ordered It's Elementary so fast when you mentioned it. I LOVE cozy mysteries so much.
Ooh and Missing White Woman too. I've enjoyed Kellye Garret's cozy series so know I like her writing.
I've added so many of these to my goodreads tbr. They sounds amazing!
Added so many of these to my list! Others I’m excited about: The Blonde Dies First (by: Joelle Wellington), Ours (by: Phillip B. Williams), Dead Girls Walking (by: Sami Ellis); And then some sequels: Drown Me With Dreams (by: Gabi Burton), Saint-Seducing Gold (by: Brittany N. Williams), Blood Debts (by: Terry J. Benton-Walker), Beasts of War (by: Ayana Gray), Shadows of Perl (by: J. Elle), The Eternal Ones (by: Namina Forna), and Children of Anguish and Anarchy (by: Tomi Adeyemi)
Definitely looking forward to Little Rot, The Dead Cat Tail Assassins, and Those Beyond the Wall!! That cover for Curvy Girl Summer is so gorgeous though!!
New thriller by Alyssa Cole!!! I screamed so loud. Is it April yet????
Bless all those Black authors and their new thriller books. It's gonna be a good reading year 😊
I'm watching my mailbox for When No One is Watching now! I just finished Womb City and holy crap that was terrifying! I'm ready to dive into this one. ❤
I want to read ALL of these!! ❤
So excited for this ravenous fate!!
Buddy read?
@@JesseOnUA-cam absolutely!!!
Also checkout the book Outdrawn and a book titled My Dear Henry which is a Jekyll and Hyde remix.
My Dear Henry has been out for awhile now, funny enough, I finally bought my own copy and it arrived a couple days ago! can't wait to read it. YES, forgot to put Outdrawn in here! can't WAIT to read that
@@JesseOnUA-cam I got my copy a month or two ago 💚🤍🖤 I can’t wait to read it
32:22 just added it to my TBR
I have a book recommendation for you. Eddie & Alan is written by black gay author Anthony Amiewalan. It sheds light on the complexities of relationships between men, the fluidity of sexuality, and what happens when the lines are blurred.
I love the Principle of moments, I have 3 copies and the preview, which made me so excited as it also helps that Esmie is a Gem. The other ones are also on my list too!
everyone is so excited/raving about that Principle, can't believe i haven't read it of and just learned about it!
The Poisons We Drink looks intriguing
Omg!! I was on a conference panel with Sarah Raughley last summer!! So happy to see y’all recommending her. She’s awesome!
soooo jealous
My favorite channel ❤
Our favorite person 🥺🏳️🌈💗
So great to see this list. Some where on my radar, but raised some especially YA fantasy that I tend to ignore because I avoid YA these days. My two big anticipated releases not mentioned are Daughters of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope (loved The Monsters We Defy) and Devils Kill Devils by Johnny Compton (I super liked the Spite House). Others on my radar but I haven't read these authors before are Kinning by Nisi Shawl, The Ending Fire by Saara El-Arifi and Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places by Claire Kann.
Another April 16 release I have my eye on is The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain by Sofia Samatar. Sci fi novella about a boy working on a mining ship who is then selected by a woman hoping for a better future to attend the ship’s university.
When No One Is Watching was terrifying even as a white lady. The Uber scene???? chills. screaming!!!!
I read from Kellye Garrett in the past, but it was her cozy mystery series. I want to check out her more serious thrillers. that new one sounds awesome.
this will be the year I finally pick up a P. Djeli Clark!
thanks for putting this list together!
I genuinely am skeptical of white women who couldn't empathize with the fear the Black woman protag faced. If she had been white, that scene and the novel would've been perceived as terrifying.
Ppl need to get it together and do more than just read Black authors but practice empathy for those characters
Yessss he is such a fire writer
I love Alyssa Cole's writing and have met her several times at various book conventions. She's a delight on panels. 😍
Y'all speaking eloquently about mental health, how Black authors are treated vs white authors, etc... meanwhile, I'm just super impressed that Alyssa Cole has been crossing genres. I was impressed by a romance book a few years ago and now y'all are making me want to find and finish that series I started. (And I might just have to stick with romances, and let others who like thrillers read them.)
I know this is a couple months from now, but I like to recommend “The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly,” for Asian readathon. It’s a story about the importance of motherhood, tranquility of nature, having the courage for being who you are and the ending will probably make y’all cry!
Need to add Alyssa Cole to my tbr!
I LOVE Alyssa Cole and so excited for her next thriller!! I’m curious how DID comes up in the book. And thank you for bringing up the issue of folks (authors, artists, etc) being forced/shamed into sharing their mental illnesses, physical health, and queerness 💜
Really excited about Something Kindred
Right?!
Briarcliff Prep is a book about a girl starting her freshmen year at a black boarding school while trying to help her older sister who is in an abusive relationship. The sequel, Briarcliff Prep: Sophomore Year comes out in November and I recommend the books to anyone that loves good ole boarding school shenanigans.
Tender Beasts hit me the same way Delicious Monsters did; I had similar problems with the plot getting a bit convoluted toward the end but the characters…so complex and compelling and I will be reading any and everything this woman writes. She’s brilliant
you got me so excited for Tender Beasts! can't believe i haven't read it yet
I am *so* looking forward to The Dead Cat Tail Assassins, Lost Ark Dreaming, and Little Rot. So many books to be excited for right now! 🎉
A G R E E D
Where Sleeping Girls Lie! I’m excited🎉🎉
Jordan Ifueko is coming out with a new book and I can't wait for it!
Can't believe we forgot to add that one omfg Ty
Good suggestions but if you like horror and reality I suggest you read “the reformatory” by Tananarive Due . Certified classic 5/5 hands down !!!!
The house of broken bricks is releasing soon I do not remember the author's name but their Jamaican and it is a Victorian Gothic so I'm excited.
Also thank you for sharing these amazing authors and giving me 41 books 📚 to read from black authors when I have not read many of them so thank you again my friend ❤❤❤
you're welcome, John!!!
@@JesseOnUA-cam no thank you 🙏
I am still in my vampire era, have been since twilight and will probably be till the day I am finally bitten and transform x I've only read a princess in theory by alyssa cole, but I will try her thrillers at some point in the future ^.^ Something kindred looks gorgeous!! Jamaican fantasy elements OKAY. I need so let them burn in my life and it is already on my wishlist. P. Djeli clark automatic tbr agree. Lore of the wild sounds promising and I'll wait for reviews on that one. My sister is v interested in lost ark dreaming. LITTLE ROT. I AM SO EXCITED. ASDFGHJKL. Infinity alchemist, the poisons we drink and where sleeping girls like are already on my shelf of course ^.^ I have only read Kacen's contemporaries so far so it will be my first fantasy by them.
Damn, def gonna add “Lady of Rapture” to my tbr…
Yessssss
Y'all are so evil for adding so many new books to my tbr! 😂
@1:53-2:00 about loving black and brown vampires. Have you seen Interview with the Vampire series on AMC+?? If not please do it's so damn good!
Omg right??? Am trash bc STILL haven't watched it yet but promise it's on the list!
@@JesseOnUA-camI hope you’re able to get to it, because my goodness is it an experience. Easily one of the best shows out now. And s2 is coming out in May
Imagination: A Manifesto made me think of "all organizing is science fiction" which is a thruline that adrienne maree-brown uses in a lot of her writing
weow that is so cool! can you expound upon what that means? i'm not smart enough lmao
@@JesseOnUA-cam I think UA-cam deleted my comment because I shared a link lol but basically that organizing for change is a sort of “science fiction” because we have to imagine a world where everyone is free, and that sci-fi (specifically Black sci-fi authors) have revolutionary potential
2:40 if you're all comfortable talking about it, can you all tell me why justina ireland was omitted? i have her books on my tbr and if she's done something problematic, i'd like to know. google is failing me rn.
I have been waiting for this amazing and wonderful video and I can’t wait to start reading these amazing books 📚 prayers and blessings to my favourite dog channel please 🙏 give her a hug from me please and say hello to your mom also please love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤your mom needs to come on your video and I totally agree with you about black people writing horror books 📚
John I love your comments so much. They genuinely bring me *so* much jubilation. Thank you for making my day.
Akasha says hi :)
@@JesseOnUA-cam tell Akasha hi back and you bring tears to my eyes while I’m struggling with my mental health issues so you’re comments mean the world to me
Actually watched this video twice, once to listen, and a second one to take notes. My TBR is 27 books longer. I love to hate y'all.
❤❤❤
Hello Jesse. I'm a new author and I'd love to get a review from you on my book; Quantum Interface. Based in 2057, Quantum Interface is an Afrofuturism tale infused with eroticism and adventure.
❤
Why not Justina Ireland?
hi hi
Oh no, what's wrong with Justina Ireland? I've loved all of her books I've read
Indigenous readers had issues with how Indigeneity was handled in her debut series (can't recall the title). there was more to it then that but i just woke up lmao
