Sinatra the beagle was already howling at the front door. Cleo the cat tried her damnedest to act as a furry tripwire on the creaky staircase but was chased off by Brutus the bulldog and ChiChi the chihuahua mix. She slapped on lights as she made her way downstairs. ![]() Layla blindly stumbled out of bed, sending a cascade of four-legged friends to the floor. The next round of thumping triggered a tentative boof from the foot of her bed, followed by a mournful howl originating in the hallway. She’d just gotten off an extra-long shift at midnight and dragged her ass straight to bed with the intent to sleep as long as the dogs’ bladders would allow. Levar Burton’s soothing sleep story voice disappeared from her ears as she shoved the Bluetooth eye mask up her forehead. ![]() There was the occasional astrological apocalypse or stink-bombing gone wrong. Blue Moon was a small, sleepy sort of town. In Deputy Layla Gunnarson’s experience, pounding on her front door after midnight was never a good thing. If you’re new to the Blue Moon series, Lucy highly recommends you give the hippie, dippy, nosy town a read!

So according to Harper Collin, this novella is titled Fracture Me (HA! We beat you to it Tahereh!) I don't know. ANOTHER WARNER NOVELLA, WARNER NOVELLA, WARNER NOVELLA.

And don't give me the crap about how you clearly know Adam more than Tahereh Mafi does. Shatter Me was written in FIRST PERSON LIMITED POINT OF VIEW, which means how Juliette sees Adam does NOT reflect the person that Adam IS.

The thesis running throughout the book is that black Britons have been systematically excluded from British history. The book accompanies a superb BBC Two documentary, which is much more crowd-pleasing in tone. The refrain David heard was the same that I heard: "Go back to where you came from." "Black and British" is a detailed rebuttal of the racist lie that black people do not belong in Britain. Growing up in Britain in the 1970s, I was subjected to the same type of racism as this book's author, David Olusoga. ![]() ![]() There are many more in the stacks to be explored. ![]() A handful of these authors’ stories are outlined in this blog post.
