Description

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Welcome to another episode of the 5 O'Clock Book Club. Spring has sprung and the sun is shining.

This week we read Kindred by Octavia Butler. Kindred is a highly acclaimed sci-fi-meets-feminist-meets-social justice novel that has been described as Afro-futurism. Dana is a Black woman living in the 1970s who is suddenly transported back in time to the antebellum South without explanation. Terror, resilience, and chaos ensue.Keep in mind, this episode will discuss themes of slavery, abuse, rape, death, and self-harm, so keep that in mind before you listen.

Next week's episode: The Reckoning and Shadow Princess (Zodiac Academy Books #3 and #4)

Love ya,
