Book Review:  Sky Full of Elephants  by Cebo Campbell Written by: Q. Gypsee Hunter Genre:  Fiction | Contemporary | Magical Realism What happens when the world flips on its head, and you’re left standing in the wreckage, trying to figure out who the hell you are?  Sky Full of Elephants  by Cebo Campbell is a  lyrical, gut-punch of a novel  that forces you to sit with  race, identity, and generational trauma  in ways you probably weren’t ready for—but that’s exactly why it works.

Gypsee Hunter Genre:  Historical Fiction | Mystery | Bookish Fantasy The Lost Bookshop  by Evie Woods is  more than a story about a lost bookshop.  It’s a  haunting, emotional dive into women’s autonomy, abuse, and the generational echoes of self-worth and survival.

The novel follows  three lives connected across time —Henry, a historian obsessed with lost literary treasures; Martha, a woman trapped in an abusive marriage; and Opaline, a woman in the early 20th century fighting for freedom while being hunted by a man who refuses to let her go.  As Henry and Martha uncover the p...
