Only a few more days until the release of THE SECOND DEATH OF EDIE AND VIOLET BOND, and I’m so excited to continue with my celebration of the incredible authors who read early copies of the book and generously shared these beautiful words. @brandycolbert is the award-winning author of the incredible book, BLACK BIRDS IN THE SKY: The Story and Legacy of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, which was the winner of the 2022 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Nonfiction and a finalist for the American Library Association's Excellence in Young Adult Nonfiction Award, as well the Stonewall Book Award winner LITTLE & LION; THE ONLY BLACK GIRLS IN TOWN, and so many more. Brandy is a master of her craft, so much so that I once wrote an entire essay dissecting her incredible debut novel, POINTE because I was so desperate to figure out she made the narrative flow so flawlessly! In addition to being an incredible writer who creates characters that grab you from page one and never let you go, Brandy is a deeply generous teacher, and was instrumental in helping me find my own voice on the page. Thank you, Brandy, for these kinds words about Edie & Violet, and for inspiring me, and so many others, with your beautiful books! 🏷 #yareads #YAfantasy #spookyseason #spookyreads #bookworms #bookish #ireadya #yabookstagram #iloveya #tbr #tbrpile #paranormalbooks #newbooks #bookcommunity #booknerd #amreading #bookblurb #22debuts #ireadya #yabookstagram #iloveya #unionsqandco#TheSecondDeathofEdieandVioletBond
