So if you have the time during or between your summer shenanigans, join the Marci and Ako as they read the famous essay "Uses of the Erotic" by the queer black radical feminist Audre Lorde and compare it to...love songs!!!

Hello, sporty folks! First of all, SO sorry for the delay with the episode! Marci's computer is old enough to pay taxes and it decided to stir up drama by NOT working! Thankfully everything is fixed now so we should be good to go

Hello Colorful Cast of Characters, welcome back to another week of CPBC, that's right ya'll after a quick hiatus, we are back with the first episode of our Summer Short Series!
For those who may or may not know our Summer Shorts is where CPBC diverges from its typical novels and we read truly whatever we want, typically stories of a shorter variety or different medium.
And this week we will be reading the short story anthology Falling in Love with Hominids by Nalo Hopkinson.
So join Marci and Ako as they discuss connecting and disconnecting with human, a tea and/or ice cream shop that may or may not be in Brookyln, the magical realism inherent in existence and so much more

Hello cuties! Your favorite cinnamon sticks are back to finish up their first book of 2023! This week, after a...considerable tonal shift lmao, we're going to be finishing the witty and poignant tale, Post-Traumatic by Chantal V. Johnson! This episode comes with less trigger warnings than the previous, but certainly triggers for body dysmorphia and disordered eating. But, if you are up to it, try to relax and enjoy some gluten-free pizza while we discuss overcoming Nihilistic despair, dry ass Matthew, and Vivian's turn for the messy!

Hello kittens! Your favorite parallelograms are back for their first book entry of 2023! This week, we're getting into the compelling, humorous, and (almost uncomfortably) relatable tale, Post-Traumatic by Chantal V. Johnson! As the title might suggest, this episode comes with a heavy trigger warning for rape, childhood sexual abuse, family manipulation, and disordered eating, so please take care of yourselves. Though, if you are up to it, this book offers some wonderful insights and commentary on personal ideological alignment, the state of dating for Black millennial women, healing from trauma, the mess of family life, and much more!

Wow, so not sure how to even say this, but...WELCOME to the 100th episode of the Colored Pages Book Club!!!!
It's truly wild that we've made it to this milestone and that you all have supported us so much along the way. To everyone who's ever given our podcast a chance, thank you! It means more than you can ever know :)
To celebrate, we're keeping it lowkey and continuing on with our fall season! This week, your fave hosts, Ako & Marci, will be diving into a novella filled with sexual intrigue. Joon Oluchi Lee's Neotenica will be taking us on that journey today. So feel free to sit back, maybe grab 100 potato chips, and listen in while we talk about Young Ae's husband's blase-ass attitude, heteronormativity's chokehold on society, and the spiritual case for looking at people on trains!

Hello, Colorful Cast of Characters! It's that dynamic duo bringing you your bi-weekly dose of fiction, fantasy, and magical realism! And what could be more magical than an honest understanding and reimagining of our relationship with each other, nature, and history? So join Ako and Marci as they finish and discuss the second half of Jessica Hernandez's non-fiction, indigenous-centered, environmental science novel Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscape Through Indigenous Science.
Shout-Out: 0:00 - 2:15
Introduction: 2:21 - 20:46
Summary: 21:06 - 42:24
Discussion: 42:39 - 1:06:23
Correction: In her cultural context, Ako incorrectly calls the 7 Years War the 100 Years War. I know that's 93 years too many. The 100 Years War is a different war in European history!
