Just the name alone makes me smile. :-)

Anyway, I'll be blogging over at the League of Reluctant Adults next week, thanks to December Quinn, AKA Stacia Kane. God help them--hopefully no one will be bored to tears.

D/S made a great post about the Carl Brandon Society and the list of books by black speculative fiction authors they recommended to be read this month. From her post:

THE CARL BRANDON SOCIETY
recommends the following books for BLACK HISTORY MONTH:
So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science Fiction & Fantasy edited by Nalo Hopkinson and Uppinder Mehan
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany
My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due
The Coyote Kings of the Space Age Bachelor Pad by Minister Faust
Mindscape by Andrea Hairston
Wind Follower by Carole McDonnell
Futureland by Walter Mosley
The Shadow Speaker by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu
Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu

As a further incentive, you can go buy these at your local Borders, which is having a Buy One, Get one for 50% off of African American studies and black fiction all this month--and you even have an extra day to take advantage of it.

Hey, if you have some suggestions for me to blog about (considering that it IS Black Folks Month and we ain't exactly representin' in record droves in science fiction or fantasy) feel free to comment here or use the (now working) contact form.
