Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite SFF Creatures

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and today's Top 5 Wednesday prompt is about creatures from some of my favorite genres: science-fiction and fantasy!

This Wednesday's post is going to be shorter, mainly because I have no idea how I would elaborate on my answers. Don't worry though, because I've seen the prompt for next Wednesday and I can guarantee that post will be much longer!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Dragons
If you don't think that dragons are cool, then you are wrong. Dragons are amazing (especially those named Toothless), and please do not spoil How To Train Your Dragon 3 for me because I still haven't seen it!

2. Phoenixes 
Phoenixes are gorgeous creatures that are full of heavy symbolism. The main reason that they're on this list, however, is simple: who doesn't want a bird that's on fire?

3. Mermaids
I've always loved the water, and I wanted to be a mermaid so badly when I was younger! I could be friends with dolphins, live under the sea, and I could live off of shrimp! Doesn't that seem ideal?

4. The Cows from Gemina
I'm saying that this counts, because 1) they're creatures in a science-fiction story and 2) because these cows produce a special kind of drug. Also, I've almost run out of ideas.

5. Thestrals from Harry Potter
Having horses that you can only see if you've watched someone die is hardcore, valid, and I appreciate it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that, my friends, is my post about the best SFF creatures! Like I said, I realize it's short, but make sure to tune in to next weeks because some of my answers might surprise you!

Have a great day!

A Guide to Anti-Racist Resources | #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname

Hi everyone. Welcome to Nox the Reader, and today I'm sharing a compiled list of different anti-racist resources that I've seen shared on Bookstagram and Twitter. Please note: THIS LIST IS EVER-EVOLVING AND EXPANDING. AS I GATHER MORE INFORMATION, I WILL BE ADDING IT TO THIS GUIDE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD, PLEASE DM ME ON TWITTER @nox_reads, OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW. Before I share this list, all I want to say is that I'm mad as hell and I'm tired. My dad always shared stories about living in Inglewood in the 90s during the time of Rodney King and the LA Riots. And it's almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. I've grown up surrounded by names as hashtags and videos cycled through the media and it's infuriating  and heartbreaking and exhausting . And a lot of us are wondering what to do, how to break this system and burn it to the ground. And it starts with educating ourselves and uplifting the voices of others. In this list are book...

The Wicked Deep and Winterwood: Reading Shea Ernshaw's Books

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox the Reader, I'm "Nox", and today I'm talking about Shea Ernshaw's books  The Wicked Deep  and  Winterwood .          "We wait for death. We hold our breath. We know it's coming, and still we flinch when it claws at our throats and pulls us under." ~ The Wicked Deep "Because I am more darkness than girl. More winter shadow than August sunlight." ~ Winterwood Two-Sentence Synopsis: The Wicked Deep  is about the town of Sparrow, which is cursed by three sisters that were accused of witchcraft and drowned centuries ago. Every summer, the three sisters possess the bodies of three of the town's girls and drown three boys in revenge.

Book Ramble - One of Us is Lying

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and this is my book ramble for  One of Us is Lying  by Karen M. McManus, a solid  PROBABLY WON'T REREAD.  "That's the kind of person you can get away with killing: someone everyone else wants dead." TRIGGER WARNING: Death, alcohol, drugs, mentions of suicide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S P O I L E R - F R E E  T A L K  Right off the bat, I have to say: I  had  to read this book. It's the Breakfast Club with a murder in it, how could I not? And of course, they make a joke about it in the book (Simon saying that they're all walking 80's movies stereotypes). It was such an interesting concept to me, a combination of some of my favorite things: retellings, mystery, and murder (in  stories . Obviously I do not condone actually murder.  Please don't murder people. This has been a PSA. )...
