I'm a California girl at heart living in the urban wilds of Chicago. I'm currently in the process of writing several short stories, tearing apart the draft of a novel and reading everything I can get my hands on. I particularly love good science fiction, urban fantasy, speculative/weird fiction, apocalyptic work and YA... more »

    Okay, it's been too quiet. Share with us what you're reading, what you're feeling, what you're up to. Come by Color Online and sit a spell. You're missed. Peace. ~zawadi

    I just wanted to introduce all of my shelfari friends to my new character, Olena Day. So if you see a friend (In Love With A Younger Man) that you don't recognize I updated my shelfari profile and Sweet Georgia Brown is gone, but hopefully not forgotten. Thanks for staying supportive.

    Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!

    We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc.

    I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same.

    And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!

    Love, Jaya

    Sometime in the summer you mentioned somewhere over in DW a book by Danzy Senna. I finished that book last night--two sittings, I couldn't tear myself out of it! Amazing. Thank you for the recommendation.

    Hey Meduza,
    If you like speculative/weird fiction there's a great thread over at the fiction effect group called "The Most Unusual Book You've Read"--I've got some great suggestions from there.

    Your avatar reminds me of an artist who does lots of paintings with bears... I can't remember his name...

    Still removing my foot from my mouth from the Obama discussion,
    marc
