Thistle & Verse | MY 1st BOOKMAIL VIDEO! @ThistleVerse | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I'm excited to announce my 1st ARC as a Booktuber: Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden. Part of getting the ARC was getting promo materials, which I show off, and I explain a bit about the world in Drayden's new novel. Also my 1st attempt at very basic iMovie editing/ features.

For the #BlackLiteratureChallenge, I read The Famished Road by Ben Okri. Im about 25-33% in, and heres what I think of it thus far. I make comparisons to Spirited Away directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi to help me process whats happening in this book.

Thanks to Sara Perkins for the idea of comparing #TheFamishedRoad to Freshwater!
